I just bought a 1984 evinrude 15 hp outboard, it looked mint, got it from a friend, it sat for 2 years till yesterday, he hooked the hose to it and minimal water came out the pee hole, it ran great, then I got it home put in on the river, started it up and backed it off the trailer, I then noticed NO water was coming out the hole at this time, I thought maybe it intake sucked in grass or something so I took it for a real real short circle , within 3 minutes of starting it , it just lost power and bogged down and shut off, smoke coming out of the cover and all, so I took it off the water asuming the impeller went bad and resulted in the engine locking up, my question is this, when I got back to the trailer 5 min I pulled the cord to see if it was still locked up it was not, I let it cool down compleatly and tried starting it, she fired right up, is it possible there was no damage or minimal damage and once I get the impeller replaced that all may be ok?
