That strange looking thing, according to the seller, is a weed cutter. I think he said a co-worker did that for him. It looks like maybe it’s that epoxy putty stick that you knead together. It’s odd because I had never seen something like that done before, but I bought a ’58 Evinrude 10 horse about a month ago and it has the same thing. There’s gotta be a connection there somewhere.
Anyway, it doesn’t look like it’s been overheated, yes it’s a fresh water motor, and the mounts seem solid. I’ll do what you said Don and get it on the boat and evaluate it from there.
