Hello. I have an 18 HP Evinrude Fastwin 1968. I just bought it and when I rev it high in gear it stops going. it keeps reving higher but no speed. Could this be the gear slipping out? the propeller? the gears/clutch dog? or movement of the trim/tilt?

Hello, I just bought an old boat and don't know what the controls are for. I haven't driven a power boat with controls for awhile. I figure the large handle is for the gears and throttle. It has a neutral marked on the box when upright. But there is another handle that is against the starboard...
Hello, I just was given a Wellcraft 165 Airslot which has a Mercury 850 on it. The lower unit is off and taken apart. Some of the parts are rusted. The powerhead looks clean. I tried to compression test it by hooking up a battery and turinging it over. It tested at 95-100 for all four cylinders...
