absolutely. I noticed that the newer replacement grommets from johnson/evinrude have a heavy bevel within and it it seems to be catching that and stopping progress.
so have a 1970 25hp 25002E im rebuilding. powerhead and lower unit have been completely refreshed now im doing the exhaust housing and having issues mounting my new water pick up tube. new grommet has been installed but i cant seem to find a good way to get the proper leverage necessary to force...
