    Doc,

    If you are handy with trucks and appliances there is nothing on that 10hp Evinrude to fear!!! Just have a go at it. It is already leaking so you probably won’t make it any worse. If you want to bring it to Bethel, I will fix it for you, but YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

    Welcome. If you haven’t done so already, consider joining the Pine Tree Boating Club chapter of AOMCI. Lots of great folks and good times with old outboards.

    Good morning, thank you very much for your reply and offer. I will most likely be contacting you (as I am about 2 hours away ) if the initial repair by using sealant on the 2 screws and using an impact wrench to tightened them doesn’t get done or fail to stop the leaks. Will the sealant actually work if the housing threads are coated with oil when the screws are replaced ? Thank you.
