Did the engine overheat--or was it just that there was no water from
the peehole. Peeholes plug up very easily--and can be opened be
pushing weedeater string in and out a few times

There is also a possible way to get the lower unit off when the drive
shaft is stuck in the crank shaft. It doesn't always work but has been
khown to save a few engines. Just ask pinehouseUK DeleteThis @aol.com
