I'm going to be disassembling my 115 Evinrude lower unit. What type of snap ring pliers do i need. I see some that are 8" or so on ebay. Are they long enough? Also do I need internal or external? How far do they need to extend?<br /><br />Thanks in advance,<br /><br />Greg Hodges
I have a 115 evinrude. I hit a rock & broke a hole in the gear case. I have another solid case that has some shifting problems. I'd like to switch gears from one to the other. <br /><br />Can this be done without the special tools in the manual? They show a pair of truarc pliers and a special...

I just purchased a 1973 135hp evinrude. After a few hours work, I was able to get it to run pretty strong. The only snag has been the tilt & trim. For some reason the owner had to cut the brackets that mount the tilt/trim motor. I got everything minus the cut brackets & pump. What can I do?<br...
