    Motor is E150GLEDB. On 1997 Ranger 461 Replaced the OMS pump in spring 2022 with Evinrude original unit due to a bogging condition and a faulty excess smoking. During that work I replaced all fuel lines, oil lines, primer bulb, and fuel tank selector switch. The engine runs top notch and I can...

    '96 Intruder 150 Carbs - Plastic Washer for Inlet Needle Seat?

    Question about the plastic washers for the needle & seat...do I used them or not? When I rebuilt the carbs on my '96 Intruder 150 I found none of them had the thin plastic washers under the inlet needle seats. When I tried to use the washers in the kit they pitched the float way too high and...

    Possible upgrade to Etec - Thoughts?

    I currently have a '96 Intruder 150 on my boat (E150GLEDB). The boat is rated for a max 175HP. The current motor runs fine (100PSI on all 6 cylinders) and the lower unit is fine, but it's also 24 years old. I can certainly maintain it and if I had a major internal issue I could install a...

    Warning Horn for '96 Evinrude 150

    I've noticed the last year or so the warning horn for my '96 Evinrude 150 (E150GLEDB) sounds weak. When I turn on the ignition instead of a bright chirp it sounds more like you stepped on a dying parakeet that has laryngitis. I need to test it to be sure if it's bad, but based on the startup...

    Prop for ‘96 Intruder 150

    I have a ‘96 Evinrude intruder 150 (E150GLEDB) on my Ranger 461 VS. The engine is a 20” mid section and has a lightning gear case that some previous owner installed. Currently I have a Shooter 4-blade cupped prop that is 13 1/4 x25. Usually I can get about 4700 RPM and 45 MPH but in a little...

    95 Evinrude 130 shift rod height

    I’m helping a friend with his ‘95 Evinrude 130 with 20” lower unit. He did some seal work on the LU but I don’t think he set the shift rod back to the correct height. Is the adjustment on this engine 21 1/4”?

    Safety Lanyards

    I've seen videos of boats catching a wake on the chine and throwing out the driver. Also, I've seen videos of unmanned boats circling endlessly. But what I haven't seen before is one like this where the driver is floating without a PFD as the boat circles :eek: Guys, please be sure to use...

    Bass Boat Engine Height.

    I'm not really a performance junkie, but I want to be sure my boat is setup properly. There are times on smooth water when the boat feels stuck down but when there's a little chop it gets free and I can feel it gliding on the pad. Here's my set up: 1997 Ranger 461vs 1996 Evinrude Intruder 150...

    Check your part numbers :)

    Okay, I have to laugh at myself. My Ranger bass boat needed new water pressure and trim indicator gauges. I popped onto Amazon and found the matching replacement Sierra Amega gauges and ordered them up. This weekend I was installing them and all went well until I tested the trim gauge. When...

    '79 9.9HP Exhaust Relief ports holding water

    Engine is a 1979 Evinrude 9.9HP Model# 10924B. I've noticed the relief ports in the midsection seem to be holding water. If I let the engine set vertical after running it seems to drain all the water out, but if I take the engine off the boat and set it on the ground with the prop and back of...

    Mercury 3000 control hard to shift

    2000 Crownline with 5.0l mercruiser, Alpha One outdrive and mercury 3000 control. It’s always been stiff a little stiff going into reverse but it’s now almost impossible to shift into reverse. When I do get in reverse it’s very difficult to get back into neutral. I can use the handle in neutral...

    Anti-Siphon Valve - hard starting issue

    My 2000 Mercruiser 5.0L with 2bbl carburetor tends to be hard starting if the boat has sat for several days or longer. I'm fairly certain this is a fuel delivery issue and not spark related. If you squirt a little fuel in the carburetor after setting the engine fires immediately. I don't do...

    Misfire after rope in prop

    I have a Mercruiser 5.0L with an Alpha One drive in my 2000 Crownline. On our last trip out as we got a skier set up I took off from a dead stop and the engine died. I was able to restart but it took a few more starter cranks than normal. I tried to put it in forward gear and it died again...

    1996 Evinrude Intruder 150 Carb Kits and winter PM

    My '96 Evinrude Intruder 150 (Model # E150GLEDB) is running very well but for quite a while I've noticed that when I tilt the motor up for shallow fishing the carb bowls drain a little and I have to re-prime the bulb to get up and running. Here lately it seems to have become worse and a good...

    '96 Evinrude Intruder 150 Shift Rod Height

    My '96 Evinrude Intruder 150 Model #E150GLEDB has had some issues at times where the forward gear seems to slip at idle/trolling speed. I have NOT seen chunks of metal in the gear oil so I don't think this is an issue of bad/broken gears. I'm wondering if this lower unit has been off before...

    1979 9.9HP rope start issues

    Motor is a '79 evinrude 9.9 HP. Model #10924B. I've had problems with the rope start occasionally and it's cropped up again. The problem is the slot in the bottom cup where the recoil spring sets will bend out then the curled end of the spring slides in and I have to take it all apart to reset...

    No More Need for Starters?

    I just saw an article talking about the new SHOT system from BRP on their Ski-Doo snow machines. Check it out here: https://www.ski-doo.com/technologies/e-tec-shot-starter.html Basically in the SHOT system they are using the magnets in the flywheel to and the coils on the stator to spin the...

    Remote Oil Filter Kit

    After reading a post by Faztbullet about winterizing a newer 4.5L mercruiser I got thinking more about my own GM 5.0L Mercruiser. http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/showthread.php?434848-Mercruiser-4-5-Winterzing Winterizing my boat isn't too hard in terms of getting to the block drains...
