Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Outboard Motor Problem

That's not much of a problem to me....This is a problem! What you are seeing in the picture my son sent me a couple of weeks ago, the faint haze of smoke, is all that is left of a 1980 9.9 Evinrude that just prior to this picture being taken, was running fine. 16 feet of water with alligators. No oil sheen to mark the spot. There was no indication of it at all when searched for with a depth recorder that can see everything else in the area. I bought it new in 1980. It never took more than 2 pulls to start and ran like a top. I ran it dry after every use and did regular maintenance. It was a great engine that has found its final resting place evidently.
