Ever see a piston explode into shrapnel? This is another first for me.
The engine is a newer Evinrude G2 300, the number 6 piston shattered and seized the the crank. There was one small hole in the side of the block about the size of a quarter from the debris. When I pulled the intake and reed plate off I was treated to a pile of shrapnel inside. BRP will be replacing the power head under warranty I believe.
