This last weekend I bought a fuel tank and hose for the outboard. After mixing some oil and identifying a minor electrical issue with the kill switch the outboard started easily. It's amazingly quiet. I let it idle for a little bit and realized no water was coming out of the port, uh-oh. So I cracked her open and noticed an impeller with a set and an oil seal to the lower unit which was damaged and coming out.
A bit of white rust, not surprising considering the environment. The upper bearing housing had a bit much corrosion so I ordered a new water pump kit and bearing housing. This should show up in a couple days and then back on the test stand to check idle and high and low rpms as well as the charging circuit.
I'm getting all of the key mechanical systems working, putting the final preparations on the interior getting it ready for interior paint.
Until next time....
