Evinrude e70pl4sia

[william osborne]

I had a new impeller fitted to this engine, and i now have water coming through no.4 cylinder, engine running on 3 cylinders only, is this just a coincidence or do i have a bigger problem, it is a 2001 engine which has done very few hours.

ouch!!

I have heard inferior metal was used on cylinder head, has anyone else heard this

[A1an]

Head gasket gone bad?

[matt h]

bigger problem, it is a 2001 engine

Understatement....I would bin it dude. Its an old Evinrude. Not known for their reliability or longevity. Best thing. I would take the transom bolts out whilst out at sea and let the thing go ..after time it will form an artificial reef!!

Blimey.... 2001 and it's doing that!!!

I've had 1980s yams that run perfectly...

I fear it may be terminal....

[matt h]

So you thinking that chuckin it overboard is the right thing to do?

[PeterM]

Let's be honest... Is lasted longer than any other Evinrude I've heard of..
