    Yamaha 8hp Two Stroke - Corrosion on Drive Shaft

    Was helping an acquaintance with a 2000 Yamaha 8hp Model 8MSHY Two Stroke he bought for $350. Motor has 90psi compression x2 & runs but had a weak telltale stream so we pulled the lower unit to replace the water pump and found quite a bit of corrosion in that area including the drive shaft. Can...

    Considering buying a used Yamaha 25hp four-stroke outboard

    Going to look at a used Yamaha 25hp four-stroke outboard. Total hours are unknown - motor looks in decent physical condition but that's just that. It's a pull-start motor - what is the procedure for doing a compression test on a four-stroke outboard like this and what should acceptable readings be?

    Conventional Wet Cell Battery only with 96 Evinrude 130?

    My Brother was told if he used other than a Conventional Wet Cell Battery with his 96 Evinrude 130 V4 that the Charging System would be damaged. Is this correct?

    1995 Mercury 115 1115412RD - Low Oil Warning Alarm

    The Low Oil Warning Alarm on my 1995 Mercury 115 1115412RD is sounding despite the oil level being full. Have read that a magnetic washer on the level float can come loose causing the alarm to sound all the time. Some have said the float/washer can be removed and repaired using epoxy, depending...

    1995 Mercury 115 2+2 - Bad Fuel Pump?

    After replacing my bad Regulator/Rectifier, I splashed the boat to test it out. Started fine then died pulling away from the dock. Primer bulb was soft so pumped it a few times and restarted then died again as I brought it up on plane. Pumped bulb, restarted, and idled back to the dock and...

    1995 Mercury 115 1115412RD - Overcharging at Higher RPM's

    My 1995 Mercury 115hp two-stroke Model 1115412RD seems to be overcharging at speed but not at low RPM. My Garmin 547XS Chartplotter/FF shows 17+ voltage and I have a VHF radio that sounds a high voltage alarm. What is the likely cause for the issue and what needs to be done to fix it?

    Discontinued part for 1976 Evinrude/Johnson 35R76G

    My Brother bought the motor against my advice and found out it was missing parts. Seems I can order or find everything except p/n 303142 {Pinion) which is shown here. Have tried Sea way Marine in Seattle and am waiting to see if Jim at Desertmarinerecyclers.com can check to see if he might have...

    1995 Mercury 115 - leaking 2-stroke oil when tilted

    Recently was gifted a 95 Proline 190 Sportsman with 95 Merc 115 2-stroke from a good friend who passed away. Motor runs very good but when tilted up all the way to trailer, 2-stroke oil leaks and drips into the transom splash well. In searching here and elsewhere on the Net, I found lots of...

    Evinrude 15 - Pivot Tube Water Leak?

    Recently bought a 1981 Evinrude 15 E15RCIS. When running it using a hose with flushing attachment, there seems to be water leaking from the front of the Exhaust Housing in the vicinity of what the parts diagram shows as the Lower Pivot Tube. I've attached a pic showing a small rivulet of water...

    1989 Evinrude E25RCEM Shop Manual

    Just acquired a 1989 Evinrude 25 (E25RCEM) and would like to buy a service manual. Would an OEM manual for either 1991 or 1992 Evinrude/Johnson 25's be close enough or were there any major design changes in those years? Thanks - Dave
