Situation now resolved. Take old Evinrude off, put new four stroke 150 Yamaha on the boat.

Thanks for all the input, hope to be on the water this weekend.

e-tec-angler – Sent you a PM. Would really appreciate some more info on your rebuild.

Thanks,

Thanks much for the posts jonzimmy and e-tec_angler. Looks like two different outcomes after the rebuilds (or several for jonzimmy). Found a shop that has a used powerhead from when an insurance company totaled out the motor after a fire. If I can get an OK deal and is in good shape, I’ll just get that powerhead.

e-tec_angler – Where did you have your motor rebuilt? Did you have any issues with the oil system (VRO?), or was a new one installed during the rebuild?

jonzimmy – I’ll send an email in a few mintues, would like to learn more.
