Hi all,
Long-time rebuild on 30' 1993 Party Hut.
Issue: everything runs great on this boat, but at higher speeds, engine starves of fuel unless primer bulb is pumped, then it's fine. My belief is that the previous owner used only ethanol gas in the boat, and that there is gunk/junk that's...
This is going to be a long post because I'm trying to supply information. Fed and Flyingscott have been so helpful already, but just looking for answers here.
Facts (before new problem):
-Oil alarm has been sounding after boat runs for between 5-10 minutes
-I am running pre-mix in the tank, so...
Oil tank ran out a couple of weeks ago, and I filled it up again with new Evinrude 2 stroke oil.
Fed helped me out the other day with the alarm, but also mentioned that I needed to purge the system if I had it open anywhere, including the filler cap.

Primer solenoid on my 1993 Evinrude 115hp had one of the small nipples break off of the bottom. I have three questions:
1. Is it safe to buy a used one? They are over $200 new, and my wife will SKIN me if I tell her I need more money for the boat this month.
2. Is it possible to replace just...
Engine died again on the lake today after new plugs seems to have fixed my problems, then I found this hose- not connected, and I can't find where it belongs...anyone? Sorry- no matter what I do, it posts upside down...
out yesterday with the family, and my 115hp outboard was running fine, then just "tired out" and stopped. New battery, turns over great but won't fire- had to be towed back to shore...what the heck?!? Family coming in for Memorial Day- I need this thing to work! Help?
Hi all, background info: 1993 Party Hut with Evinrude Tracker Pro 115 outboard with spun hub. Hub was replaced several days ago, and looks great. Went to put it on the outboard today, and the prop nut wouldn't go on the shaft. Apparently the threads on it are stripped or damaged.
I'm...
Hi all- the tilt/trim motor on my outboard is broken. Does anyone know how to manually engage the tilt-lock mechanism on this motor? (Pictures would REALLY help!)
