Reply To: Cork float weight

[LLOYD LAUTNER]

Weight is not critical but you want to use a cork with a minimal number of holes in it so that it will be easier to seal. If your original cork has lots of black areas that is a bad sign as it is mold that turns them black as it eats away the original cork. You can get a new cork at ACE hardware and cut it down to correct size. 1 3/16 ” diameter and 1″ tall for your motor. Lots of good info at : pochefamily.org/outboard. But note that the ad for my leather primer seals on that website is over 10 years old and the price is long out of date. New primer seals and instructions are $10.00 per set.
