dang… another one ….

[crosbyman]

picked up a flattop 9.5 sportwinn with the OMC square pump. Motor is tagged with a brass colored nameplate as a CD15 !!

looks like a 67-68 (still in the shed for now)

purchased $50 on Kijiji for parts but I will autopsy when possible in case I can revive it .

Came with a big round prop protector bolted on the skeg and cavitation plate … 🙄

almost looks like the guy wanted to run shallow with rocks everywhere

2 inch air hole punched in the cowl just above the carb 😮 (fiberglass & bodywork should fix that)

😀 summer 17 ….winter 18 project

Propeller guard kit 172798. We never sold any because it would render the motor useless in Florida water weeds.

And you might as well prepare for replacing the infamous shift rod boot to keep the smoke out of the hood. Nymarine makes repros.

update… I just checked that part number !!!! holy cow $150 US and UP…. unreal

FR are you talking about the exhaust boot because it looked fine. now with 3 Sportwin… all are ok boot wise 🙂

Yup seen that hole many times in cowl. Exhaust leak. Have fun with that!

[crosbyman]

well…should exhaust become a big issue..for 50$ I am still good with that $70 choke knob I needed for my first 9.5, idle knob (now a radio knob) for my second 9.5, the broken detent ridge on the 2nd 9.5 handle

aside from the exhaust boot anywhere else these 9.5 leak exhaust enough to get a guy to drill out a 2 inch breather hole just above the carb….to let rain water and splash enter the engine ??
the way $50 disappears at the Casino 😮 I am not to worried

They commonly leak exhaust at the boot between the two housings, but I’ve seen it leak more often at the bellows on the gearshift linkage where it goes between these two housings. You can’t see this bellows without a lot of disassembly.
Both parts are discontinued.

Everybody is quick to blame the boot #87, but that usually is not the real cause. The biggie is the #78 bellows around the shift rod. The third possibility is the seal on top of the water pump—don’t leave it out. Any of these three routes are famous for letting the hood fill up with exhaust smoke.

The seal on top of the water pump, if missing, will fill the hood with smoke, big time.

interesting info guys … I never noticed #78 and the potential impact of waterpump seal …

when I fire this oldy up… if I decide to revive it….. should it look like a runner i’ll be sure to check for major fumes under the hood

my other good 9.5 runs like a charm

any special way to reach#78 is it reachable from the bottom with the LU out
