    I found the picture of the seals. We took out the
    plugs right after running it and didn’t see any
    evidence of water on them. Something with
    the seal is the only thing I could think of but not
    having much experience with these I’m just
    guessing. I appreciate your advice. Thanks so
    much. It makes me feel that is the direction we
    should be heading. I’m wondering if maybe
    it has worked, or is working, its way out? I gave
    this motor to a friend when I went back home in
    2017. I just bought another this spring. A winter
    Project to bring next year. They both need to be
    running. We’re both geriatric delinquents. (He’s
    68 and I’m 75) It’s going to be a lot of fun for us.
    Our wives will just be embarrassed.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
