I have a 1970 Chrysler 55 hp outboard and have been having issues with engine.
I bought this boat a couple of years ago and right off the bat I had to have the impeller changed.
I used it twice after it was changed. The next year I went to use it and it would not circulate water again.
Any ideas on what it could be?
Also when I pulled it out of the water gear oil is leaking out of port holes from bottom of unit.
Somebody told me the shaft has groves worn on it and if I was going to keep it I would have to change gear oil a couple times a year.
I'm really contemplating buying a 90's motor.
