DynamicPerception Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I have a 1991 300HP Evinrude V8 - Model J300PLEIE - Serial No. G 2983736 I ran it from 1996Jun to 1999Oct. It sunk in 1996Oct after the jackplate split off my 21' Charger STV. I was cruising about 90mph so it went under water hot. The foot should be fine. I have the prop. The cowling was shattered. It has Land & Sea heads(16 spark plugs, 16 coils) and I have the original heads. I kept it and was always thinking I'll rebuild it some day. As often happens some day never came. The reason for this post is to see if anyone in this forum may know of a possible site or group that may deal in older high performance engines of this type. Any suggestions are welcome.

Fairfaxnut Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Your pistons probably hydrolocked when it went under. Not sure if you need a complete rebuild. http://www.ehow.com/info_12177155_gets-damaged-engine-hydrolock.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
