I just took my 9.5 horse evinrude in to have it looked at because I was having problems with the motor locking up. The rope wouldn't pull out to start. The guy told me there is a leak somewhere in the upper unit and it is filling with water. He said he tried to replace the head gasket and some other parts and it didn't help. <br /><br />Any ideas of what else to do? He said it would cost more to fix the motor than it is worth. If this is true, can you get anything for them if you sell them for parts?<br /><br />Any advice is greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks!
