Hello All..
I recently bought a 14ft jon boat then bought the motor. Its a evinrude 5hp fisherman. The serial number is 6502m-e07328 can anyone tell me the year of this motor and model off of this serial number. I cant find a model number anywere.
The motor runs great, however i changed the lower end oil(skeg) and the bottom drain diddnt have a seal on the flat head bolt, the top had a nylon. I went to lowes and bought 2 rubber gaskets, however they diddnt work to well. When i change the oil last night it looked milky, as if water was present. Today i changed the lower oil with the proper oil, filled it from the bottom till it ran out the drain on top. I tested it in barrell with water for 35 mins. I drained the lower oil and it looked like yellowish oil now, almost golden. So im guessing im still taking in water either with those crappy gaskets, or my lower seal is leaking. I need the model number to get that seal if its leaking plus to get the correct seals for the drain plugs.
Any help please??
Thanks
Mike
