With a no go fishing day, I decided to fix my damaged outboard. I diagnosed a blown head gasket by spraying carb cleaner along the seams. Since I have rebuilt this outboard a few times, this repair was actually fairly easy and straight forward. Thanks to my Patreon Supporters who help to keep the old outboard running.
