I've got a 1976 115 Evinrude on the back of my Predictor right now. I've cleaned the motor up pretty good and it sure sounds mean when I crank it up, however I'd really like to check the vernatherm just to ensure proper cooling. Normally I'd be able to access the housing relatively easily on this model motor, but it seems the old guy that had it before me tried to boost the HP by adding the bubble back exhaust cover that was on the 140s from that year. This bubble back cover makes it nearly impossible for me to get to the thermostat housing.
Does anyone know if I could just take that bubble back off to get to the vernatherm, or would I need to take the whole powerhead off? From what I hear these 115s can boost up a good bit with larger carbs and this exhaust cover. Any input?
Thanks,
