Hi all,
I've just purchased what seems to be a decent 1980 25HP Evinrude. The current owner had it sitting in a large bucket, but the water level wasn't too high, so I had him shut it down right away after it started. I know that on my '86 9.9, the water inlet is higher than this and I didn't want to take the chance that it wasn't getting water. The seller said that I wouldn't see water coming out of a pee hole and that it just exited through the exhaust tube, just in front of the prop (this was indeed under water just barely).
Long story short, I purchased it (how could I say no at $300?). My questions stems from the "pee hole". Should I see this or is the seller correct in that it doesn't have one? I don't want to get it on the lake and then have it die from my own stupidity..
Thanks!
Mark
