    What are the details of this 40HP Sea Pro?

    Hi, I'm interested in buying this local 40 HP near me. My question is can anyone decode the serial number and tell me any information about it? Year? I know it's a 40 HP and a Sea Pro. The add says it's a short shaft. Any way to confirm that with the serial number? I know I can measure it...

    Evinrude 35 vs new Johnson 30?

    Hi, I own what I believe is a 1983 Evinrude 35 HP. The numbers on it are E35RCTS, C7165584. So looking that up I think it's a 1983. Is this 35 HP rated at the crank or prop? A friend is selling a 1995 Johnson 30 HP. I'm curious if this newer 30 HP would push my boat any faster? Thanks.

    What size is this missing nut?

    Hi, I have a 1983 Evinrude 35 HP. I noticed this weekend I have a missing nut on the lower end. Attached is an example picture of which nut is missing. I believe it is part number 0306422. Does anyone know what size and thread it is? That way I could get one from my local hardware store...

    Transom adaptor from 15" to 20"?

    I think the moderators merged two of my threads together or I screwed it up, lol. That's why it's confusing. The seller of the 40 merc said it was a short shaft. Turns out it's a long shaft so now I'm seeing what my options are before buying it. If a simple jack plate is the answer and not a...

    Hi. Can someone please decode this for me? Thanks. I think it’s a 1996 Mercury 40 4 cylinder. What else!

    Transom adaptor from 15" to 20"?

    Thanks! I think that's the route I would go. Do you sandwich some wood inside that 5" riser?

    Transom adaptor from 15" to 20"?

    If your talking about the thickness I can't remember exactly. I'll look tonight and get some pics. It's similar to this picture that I found on the internet. Example pic only.

    Transom adaptor from 15" to 20"?

    Thanks guys. I think my bigger issue is the Merc has a 20" shaft and my transom is 15". So I may pass on the engine. Or I'll look into an adapter plate to build up the transom. Not sure if I want to start drilling holes in my boat. My current Evinrude is clamp on and the Merc is bolt on.

    Transom adaptor from 15" to 20"?

    Hi, I currently have a 1983 Evinrude 35 HP, short shaft, tiller (non electric start) on a 16' Lund. I'm thinking about upgrading to a 1996 Mercury 40 HP, short shaft, tiller (this is the 4 cylinder) with Electric start, oil injection and power trim. I'm happy with the older Evinrude but want...

    35HP Evinrude carb setting.

    Hi guys, So I've used the boat multiple times now. I have 125PSI in both cylinders. It starts well, trolls well and runs great at high speed. My issue seems to be when I cross the lake at high speed and then slow it down to get to the dock, as I go from neutral to reverse to stop it, it will...

    35HP Evinrude carb setting.

    HI Guys. I have 35HP Evinrude (1983 I think) that I just got and have used for the first time this past weekend. New paint, seats, etc in the boat. Overall it seems to be in great shape. It starts well and cruises real nice and fast for what I need and my family of four. My only complaint...
