I just became the owner of an 1984 Evinrude 235HP. It's former life apparently was pampered with service and attention, low hours in lake use, and it performs as expected. I'll know more after using it on a very large and heavy CC hull. Eventually I will put a newer and more economical OB on the boat as I think that it is underpowered for the ocean use planned. <br />Having some skills in 2-cycle carburated OB's and able to finesse them back to health when cranky, any suggestions as to what I should take care of re. PM and quirks particular to this behemoth? It's been suggested that the first PM is to inspect/replace the rubber hosed diverters if engine checks-out OK otherwise.<br /><br />Thanks in advance
