    evinrude not starting?

    Model # E115GLEOC
    S# G03805916

    ok this happened on two occasions...3 weeks apart. I was out all day and everything was fine while running the motor. But all of a sudden when I tried to turn the motor over it wouldn't turn over (it sounded like it wasn't getting fuel) Lucky enough i was close enough to the marina to troll in. Once up on the trailer I lowered to engine to see dark fluid come out of the middle of the prop. When I got the boat home i decided to flush the engine to my surprise it turned over? (both times)

    Question is

    What could cause my motor that is working and then not to work in the middle of my fishing trip-- I have had the boat out two times in between occurances with no problem?

    thanks

    Sounds like an electrical issue (power pack), the dark fluid you saw was unburned fuel/oil. It started because of no back pressure of the water. If it happens to you again on the water trim the motor all the way out of the water and try to restart it, it should bust off with the prop out of the H20. If it does replace the pack and EET.
