    Manual tilt lock - Evinrude 50

    Took some work and a steady hand, but just might do the trick. Need a bit shorter plug and probably a Dowty washer or similar. (Btw, no I didn't expect the two o-rings to work 😄)

    Manual tilt lock - Evinrude 50

    A friend had a suitable drill, drill tap and plug I could borrow, so fingers crossed I will successfully make new threads and install a new plug. I did a compression test on the motor, and it was spot on 130 psi on both cylinders, so that's a win at least.

    Manual tilt lock - Evinrude 50

    Thanks for the quick replies, appreciated. The rod seal is leaking. My plan was to release the rod cap then use the motor as leverage to pull the rod out of the housing to replace the seal. The rod moved in and out so I think it works otherwise (of course limited movement as the oil sprays...

    Manual tilt lock - Evinrude 50

    Thank you! That is probably right. I saw another Evinrude with tilt assist, which probably has that lever (he didn't have a picture of the lever). Any tips on how to lock the motor without a power tilt or the lever? Just let it hang loose and be careful when running reverse?

    Manual tilt lock - Evinrude 50

    Hi. In case I can't fix my power tilt I might have to run without one. I can't see any way to lock my engine in place without power tilt. On my previous smaller engine it had a tongue that would catch on a rod you put through the transom mount. There's not one on my Evinrude 50. There is a...

    Johson 4.5 no water out of pee hole

    Awesome. Racerone, you're right. I was replying to two threads at the same time and got it mixed up.

    Evinrude 50 - Power trim issue

    Should have mentioned that I have access to bolt extraction tools, and most other tools at work. Also a forklift and overhead crane.

    1996 Evinrude 50hp power pack

    One should go to the mounting bolt on your power pack and one should go to the mounting bolt on the ignition coil. On my 1993 Evinrude 50 anyway.

    Johson 4.5 no water out of pee hole

    What racerone said, and also remember that it might need to run for a bit and heat up before water starts coming from the pee hole. If not, maybe the thermostat is broken?

    Can be a lot of things. Try checking for spark at plug right after it dies. If no spark maybe it's the coil or ignition module. Is water coming from the tell tale? If not, broken impeller or faulty thermostat? Maybe it picks up debris in the fuel system after some minutes driving. Try...

    Evinrude 50 - Power trim issue

    Hi. I picked up a 14 ft fibreglass boat with Evinrude 50 (year 93) and trailer for a good price. The owner had no spark and had given up trying to fix it. By the end of the day I had spark and the engine ran smooth, what a joy. It has a power trim, which I have never had before. The power trim...
