Re: Evinrude Mate F2RCTD

They are supposed to discharge a fair amount of water as Fisherman said. However, my experience has been that some of them discharge hardly any at all. I tried to figure it out without much success, even resorting to drilling more holes. I conclude the water must be running down the inside of the housing in a stream and not being broken up and blown out. Try slightly tilting, then steering it all the way around to reverse to see if more comes out. While you are checking temp, be aware that the flat exhaust cover plate on the side and the cylinder head right around the spark plug are not water cooled and get pretty dang hot.
