Re: 1954 Evinrude 7516 questions

Gary, thanks for posting the parts diagrams!
I pulled the lower unit off this afternoon.
I had the bolts removed, and LU "flopping"
around loose, but it didn’t want to separate much.
After looking at the diagrams, I finally decided the
water pump discharge tube was held tight in the
water pump grommet. The Evinrude manual forgot
to mention that this might be a problem after 60
years! Will open up the gear box tomorrow and
see what I have to work with.

Prepare to be boarded!
