    Does this look like water in the oil? 76' 70HP Evinrude

    I have only had it out 4 times and run maybe 12 gallons of fuel through it. I had no issues on the water with shifting. On the level of difficulty (1-10), how hard is a lower reseal? I have done a couple of smaller engines before, but not a big one. I am used to seeing black and clearish...

    Thermostat and the exhaust relief on mid 70's 3 cylinders?

    I am questioning my recently rehabbed 76' 70HP Evinrude. Everything seems fine except possibly the thermostat. I am used to seeing the exhaust relief ports having water coming out, then not coming out on a regular repeating basis. Every 10 seconds of so. I thought this was an indication...

    1976 70HP Evinrude Boat Test

    Thanks for all your help getting this far. Boat tested yesterday. Started easily. Going into gear was OK but at about 1500 RPMs it wanted to die. I was able to finally feather it up and get to WOT. I was over 5500 but able to dial that down easily. I was able to get to WOT 3-4 times, for...

    76 70HP water pump question

    See picture. I just want to make sure the impeller fins are the right way. The drawing on my fixture was opposite, but I didn't write down if it was top view or bottom view. All OMCs are the same correct? Paper gasket first (with gasket sealer) Metal plate next Then housing with o-ring...

    Parts or fix? J8REOD 1995 8HP Johnson

    I have has this for 6-8 years and no issues. Son had it out and said it felt like it hit something. Engine revved up and no water suddenly coming out the telltale. Popped the lower today and it appears the splines in the drive shaft are well ground down. I would have to assume the crank shaft...

    Fuel line T for 76' 75HP Evinrude

    I just broke the plastic "T" on the carburetor fuel lines. It does not show on any of the drawings. I assume I could just get a 5/32" brass one at the auto parts store? Thanks Jim

    General head gasket question

    I have this 75' 9.9 HP Evinrude. Been using in a salty area for about 6-7 years. My son had it out the for the second time this year, 14' boat loaded with teenagers (all girls too). Stopped on an island to grab something and couldn't restart. Finally got it restarted and made it back. My...

    1973 65HP Control box/cables issue

    I replaced the cables two years ago. All was well or so I thought. Basically the warm lift does not go all the way down. I have plenty of travel. It is then forced down when I put it into gear, torquing on the screw that anchors it. I damaged the screw a little but was able to fix it. Is...

    1975 9.9 Gear case reseal issues

    I am trying to do a complete reseal on this 75' 9.9 15" Evinrude. I have everything out except the shift shaft o-ring washer and bushing. I made a slide hammer, hit it with freeze spray, strapped it to a large trailer and tried to use a ratcheting strap to pull it out. This thing won't move...

    1963 Gale Sea King 5 HP issues.

    A friend, (and I use that term loosely) brought me a tag sale engine. Model # GG18732B. I checked compression (75 each) and spark. Both are healthy, so I decided to go over it. Resealed the lower, no issue. Changed the impeller while I was in there. Power head had to come off just to replace...

    1973 65HP issues starting finally

    Well I knew this engine couldn't last forever, and it owes me nothing. Last week I heard a miss/stumble at WOT. It was brief and only happened once. This week, (we ski once a week on Thursdays), it happened a few times, and started to bog down and run rough for about 30 seconds or so. My...

    1989 6HP Evinrude Primer pump question

    I just discovered after many years, that my choke was really a primer pump. I can't start this thing cold this year. Squirt a little gas in the cylinder, and all is well. I tested it and it does not pump any fuel. Luckily, this is exactly what is wrong with my 86' 8HP. Are the newer pumps...

    1965 40HP Evinrude starter flywheel issues

    Just bought this a week ago for my 58' FeatherCraft. Looks pretty clean, except I am finding some idiot worked on it. Seller said it had a spark issue. I tested compression but not spark with the electric starter. 90 psi on my gauge 105 psi on the sellers. So I took it. Now checking the...

    1989 25 HP lower unit install question

    (Serial # OC173354) Attached part was sticking out where the shift shaft goes. Where should its final resting spot be, way up on the shaft, or down low? Seloc manual blows for this engine. I think it was published before the engine was built. Lower unit fluid looks OK. Also is there a drive...
