Picked up an Evinrude 35hp at a yard sale last weekend for 20$ Mice at some wiring and it needed a new power pack. Not too big of a deal. Pulled the lower unit while waiting for the pack to arrive, Water pump looks good, no tears, no missing pieces, nice and soft. No gouges in the impeller housing. Part came in, go to fire it up, and there appeared to be exhaust coming out of the tell tale hole. Got on here, read about some other instances of this, figured it was either a head gasket or the exhaust gaskets. Ordered those plus a t-stat, t-stat washer seal, t-stat water jacket housing cover thing gasket. new plugs. Still not peeing like it should. Still steamy. compression is 124 on top and 125 psi on the bottom. Ive blown air through everywhere i cn think of while it was apart. No deposits anywhere. tell tale hose is new and clear of junk. Its been on the back of my boat in a big rubber maid garbage can, so just to see if opening it up would clear some junk out we took it out to a lake. Still the same, Does seem to come back of i shut it down and restart. which would lead me to believe it was just a chunk of something getting stuck, then falling away once water pressure is gone. But maybe you guys have some other ideas? ser # 35853R remote steer long shaft. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
