    Rescued 69 Evinrude Rogue with stringer need beginner tips

    Well believe it or not, I have all the major functions of the boat working. Engine, shifting, tilt, steering. My ventilation blower is froze up and haven't located it, hidden up in an inconvenient place it seems. Fuel cap frozen solid so going to drill out the screws and replace it, check the...

    Once, I bought a completely rebuilt OMC outdrive for 800$, for a ski boat. Don't remember his name but it was rebuilt by a guy from Coos Bay Oregon who was known for impeccable work... he was completely blind.

    Brief test of some of the functions only wiper works after fiddling with fuse/connectors which are all quite filthy from age. Tilt selenoid clicks with flick to down but not up and had to hotwire the engine to get it to fire so electrical connections/wiring needs attention. Not in any hurry, to...

    Will grab some next time I'm down there. Getting some plugs and wires for it, cap/rotor/points all look fine.

    Will do, thanks. That's pretty low, thought a 300cid buick was about 200hp? Maybe marine was different than automotive.

    Thanks.... it's a 1969, can I keep it? Well, watched some vids on changing lube/fluids, important seals etc. Going to start by seeing if there's any water in any of the fluids, check various functions and go from there. Probably not really interested in a re-power, if it comes to that I can at...

    Rescued 69 Evinrude Rogue with stringer need beginner tips

    Grabbed it up for 100$, 300 Buick and stringer o/b, just found out it runs. I have no literature on this boat yet, haven't checked anything in the outdrive at all. What are the boat specific things (besides basic engine maint) that I need to look out before I would ever test this thing on the...
