Nice explanation. The upper water tube grommet is often to blame for cooling issues on these OMC 9.9-15s. The salt builds up around the outside of the upper grommet and crushes it, restricting water flow into the exhaust manifold...

@@Nudnik1 For sure, I remember the first 1980 9.9 I discovered the issue on so many years ago! Again, I understand what the engineers were trying to accomplish, but the solution created a much bigger problem. The 74-78 models had a different type of grommet that had no issues, don't replace those with the new/superceded problem grommet!

Thank you for earnestly sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it. You greatly helped me to understand how cooling water flows through my 1956 Johnson AD-10M. I have spent many days poking a wire through ports and channels of individual parts in trying to understand the coolant flow path. I tried to do this without the head gasket and I failed. Thanks for pointing out how coolant moves from the cylinder block to the cylinder head. Thanks again. (I am now poking a wire through the lubrication passages.)

@brianroche56319 ай бұрын
Where does the copper tube under the powerhead go. Does it go in one of the holeds next to the exhaust? Does it go into the hole in the middle in front of the exhaust? Looks like the tube from the water pump goes up there. 1984 johnson 9.9

Hello, I watched a lot of your videos, and they have helped me out a lot. Some helped me fix my out board motors. But now I have a problem showing up on more outboardmotors and I hope you can help me out. I have a mercury blueband 4.5hp wich wont cool down. It doesnt have a tell tale. When I ref up it has a very very weak tale. I changed the impellor, cleaned out all water pipes and streaming lines but it didnt help the problem. I tested the waterpump by putting a drill on it and a transparent hose. When I turn the drill, the water pump has trouble getting the water to a certain hight/level. I think the problem might be somewhere here, but I dont know where to look anymore. Can you help me out? Thank.
@OmFishing4 жыл бұрын
I would check the lower unit for a blockage. If the drill would not pump water the problem is a blockage or the case is bad around the water pump and not getting a good seal.

@OmFishing4 жыл бұрын
Acho que você deveria desmontar o motor e ver o que tudo precisa ser trocado. Depois disso, decida se vale a pena consertar o motor. Se as paredes do cilindro estão marcadas. Isso é o que eu fiz no Evinrude 15 hp. Mandei verificar a cabeça e os cilindros. Se você planeja manter o motor por muito tempo. Corrija-o, se você está pensando em vender o motor depois de consertado. Eu economizaria meu dinheiro.

How hot should a 15hp powerhead run? I'm assuming the thermo opens at 140ish so it should run just a bit hotter? I have great waterflow out the back but I'm worried its still getting to hot.
@OmFishing3 жыл бұрын
When checking the temperature with Thermomelt Sticks they use a 125 degree and a 163 degree F, If the 125 does not melt the motor is running to cold, and if the 163 degree melts the motor is over heating. Where do you think yours is at?

Is it possible for that side manifold gasket to be bad and water gets in a cylinder through the exhaust port? My bottom cylinder has a little water on the plug when I remove it. Head gasket is not leaking. The motor seems to idle better when there is no water as such when running it in a barrel and the water falls below the pickup.

I think you are on the right path. I would change both the gaskets . When you have it apart make sure the passages are open.
