Thanks for the info. I will get the Seloc and start with the water pump and
check the compression on the pistons. The model number is 224506 A which
makes it a 1969 which I found here http://hhscott.com/evinrude/16hull.htm
There isn't a lot of information on the web about this boat. Anyone know
how many were produced? I started my homepage and will post pictures in the
morning. She needs a good wax job but she still looks good to me. The boat
that is, just in case anyone is wondering. :)
