    Loud Banging

    When moving between gears the motor starts banging. Motor is 1980 70 hp Evinrude. I have read this might be the clutch dog? It only does this between gears, not while underway. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance

    1980 Evinrude 70hp mounting

    Hello Everyone! I am currently in the process of changing my 1980 70hp Evinrude to a newer boat. The boat is a 1990 16' Sunbird.
