Oh thank God I asked. I was going to use some gorilla tape to make sure it doesn't come off when I get it back running. :nanner: :laugh: Thank you for clarifying.

I don't have any other obstruction that I know of and I have the inlet screens facing forward to channel water in. I am just hopeful that a stuck closed thermostat and new gaskets, cleaned water...

Yes, there are indeed 4 holes as you stated. Why are they there? I figured they were manufactured that way so I haven't sealed them. I have noticed water comes out of them before when lifting the...

If you installed a new impeller or water pump kit and still have the same issue, I recommend checking your thermostat sometimes they stick closed causing restriction of water flow. It will also give...

Each impeller I have put in I inspected them, there were no vanes missing. It has new inlet screens. I am pretty sure I found the issue. From your reply I opened both the exhaust and head...

Negative, I loop the end of rope to my trailer wench and back it in. I am not one of "those"....I know better :laugh:

Here is the impeller and casing, melted again. I am contemplating removing the water jacket and checking the thermostat, could it be possible my thermostat is frozen up causing a water restriction?...

No sir other than the fact both times the impeller (s) and the plastic housings were disintigrated/melted. I will take photos today when I dismantle it and try to post.

Hello, I have an 81 Johnson Seahorse 35hp (J35ELCIG) and a few weeks ago installed a new water pump kit I purchased from MarineEngine.com ( PN 0393630)
. This is the 2nd kit in 2 months that I...

I was able to disassemble it and found out it is part of the exhaust housing and part numbers. The leak is from the lower swivel bracket assembly, there appears to be a gasket or o-ring missing where...

Hmm. I looked again, lifted the motor and looked behind it and you are correct, however I did not know there was a tube in there. Appears to be a gasket where it mounts to the foot.

I did strike...

Yes, I checked it this morning, seemed normal. I went ahead and made a Youtube clip to better convey my issue. I hope this helps and a huge thank you for your knowledge. :thumb up2:

I am wondering if I made a poor choice. I have a 1981 Johnson 35 Seahorse and had no issues the first few months having it. Now, after replacing the water pump kit and now a new seal it is running...

Will try that. Thank you.

Thank you sir for the reply. I will need to research on how to check each one/ order new part. Any suggestions?

Another Video to show before I could idle...had to have it in gear to remain running. This video shows when I cut the RPM down the first time to around idle.

Hey folks, I hope the water is well where you are from! I recently purchased a 1991 Stratos 290 SF with an Evinrude 200 XP V6 motor that would run decent at higher RPM but shut off at idle or idle...

I am grateful for the time and assistance from those that have messaged me! Much appreciated. Special thanks to Mr. David Blanton (dk239) Super helpful! I will just simply wire it old school for now...

No sir, I just finished getting it loaded and washed it but still haven't figured out the batteries yet, they have been charging most of the day. P/s in 2014 I was one of the Soldiers chosen for the...

Congratulations that is a great haul!

Hello,

WARNING: NOOB to multiple batteries alert! I am looking for someone in the Fayetteville area to assist me in hooking up my batteries on a Stratos I purchased a few weeks ago. It is a 1991...

I know it is an old thread, but did you solve this situation? I am literally "In the same boat" :laugh:
