Hello all first time on the site..... I have a 1983 Evinrude 50 ELBECT that got a hole in the block right by the bottom piston rod connector. The powerhead looked immaculate on the outside and ran great until this happened. I just need help determining what caused it and whats the cheapest course of action to get my boat back on the water. I have been searching for powerheads but I need to to make sure if what I buy is compatible. Im short on time, military and leaving for afghanistan soon and want to make it out again before i go. Thanks in advance
