OK wackers... I have a tech question for you. One of my clients has a 150 Evinrude (White motor, 1997 vintage) that he smoked. I think it has a full complement of bad bearings, rings etc... I have no idea what caused it, just that it let go in three stages, the final stage being a total seizure. All were within 3 minutes of each other, and each resulting in a greater loss of power and rpm.
Are these outboard motors disposable, or is there a guru on here that rebuilds them for a living? I think he is going to need at a minimum a full sleeve, ring, bearing and probably some rod and crank work as well.
New is 12K for a 200. I told him to let me go to you guys and get some input first. I am also posting this in the general side.
Thanks in advance,
Wes
