    Looking at a 2000 Yamaha Vmax V150TLRY 150hp

    Looking at a 2000 Yamaha Vmax V150TLRY 150hp. Seller is asking $3,500. Second owner, could not say how many hours, claims that it runs great, been in storage 18 months. Seller said it was purchased used from Bass Pro Shops. Is there a way to pull hours off this motor? What should I should be...

    OMC 120 repower

    Considering repowering my pontoon to a modern outboard, currently powered by a 1975 OMC 120 stringer. Would be a relatively easy swap (compared to a v-hull), cut out the existing engine bay (basically an aluminum box) installing new crossmembers and installing a transom pod. My question is, the...

    1999 Evinrude Ficht 150

    Hi, I'm looking at a 1999 Evinrude Ficht 150. The seller is asking $2,500. It has the pinned head and a screen shot from the Evinrude diagnostics software shows 600 hours. Max EMM temp is 146.5. From some quick research I see that this is one of the "trouble" Ficht engines, but with 600 hours...

    Anybody have a spare outdrive to match my '75 OMC 120 electric shift stringer?

    Installed a seal/impeller kit on mine two winters ago and noticing I am getting water in the upper gearcase now. Need to remove and reseal, however I'm hoping someone might have a good condition matching outdrive so I could keep as a spare. The Chicagoland boating season is so short I hate to be...

    OMC 120 new impeller, pump not priming

    Hi, I just installed a new upper gearcase seal kit and water pump kit on my 1975 OMC 120 stringer. I get no tattle tale stream until after I prime the pump with a garden hose at the pivot cap flush fitting. One thing I came across, I am using the Seloc service manual and the manual states...

    Adding Selectrim?

    Anyone ever add Selectrim to a non-Selectrim setup? I have a 1975 120 Stringer and was wondering if it is a bolt on + electrical wiring, or is there some other technical reason it would not work? I see many front Selectrim assemblies on ebay, but not sure how the pivot assembly is set up on the...

    Lift clutch question

    Just purchased a boat with a 75 OMC 120, not sure what kind of outdrive I have. It's got the half moon gear for the lift. Does that make it a stringer? The outdrive lift quit working, previous owner said that something had been serviced in the lift clutch housing recently. Outdrive was able to...

    1975 OMC 120 advice

    Hi, I am looking at buying a 1975 Harris Flotebote 24' pontoon. The boat has been rebuilt beautifully from the deck up and has all the features that I'm looking for. My only concern is the OMC 120. The engine runs and drives nicely at this time. Hours are unknown on the engine. Should I stay...
