Got this old gal to fire and run for a few seconds. I have it in tank of water and do not see any water pumping out of the motor. Should there be water discharge? Shouldn't the motor "Pee" as they say? 1960, 18 hp Fastwin, mofel # 15032. Where does the water come out at? Anyone have photos of this? Thanks for the help and advice. I love this Forum!

Doesn't "pee" like newer motors, but water should spray/dribble out the large exhaust hole on the rear of the leg.

yup. No "pee" hole as such. The water is discharged along with the exhaust from the main exhaust port located about half way up the leg. While it should always pump some water, it will pump more at higher rpms and/or on the lake rather than in the tank. If it ever stops pumping water, shut her down to prevent an overheat. Here's a vid that can show you what to expect.

Guess I was looking for a steady stream of water. One that my Proctologist would be proud of.....was not really looking for it where you described.... I will try again.....on the other hand maybe will just replace the impeller anyway. I think it has been awhile since this motor ran.
Can anyone help me with a part number on this? 18 hp 1960 model year. Model # 15032. Evinrude. Is there a impeller kit or just an impeller. Also has CJ6 plugs in it. What is the gap? Again thanks for the info lindy and kfa

Hello again paperjam. Here's a link to an online parts manual with exploded diagrams for your motor. You can also use the iboats MARINE STORE tab in the top left corner to search for an buy parts. NAPA also sells Sierra brand replacement parts. If they don't have them in stock they can usually get them delivered by the next day from their warehouse. Basically, free overnight shipping. Here are some good links. Keep us posted.

LOL. yup. Proctologists work on the other hole down there. I should know, I've been shadowing a gastroenterologist for the past 6 months. I think I've see half my town's colon from the inside out at this point :) I think you meant Urologist ;) Each is about equally fun to visit....NOT!
