I know that sounded confusing but what I want to do is not have to have 3 batteries in my boat. It is an outboard jet and every bit of weight matters. Basically I am wanting to run my 24 volt trolling motor as well as still just start the boat off the same two batteries. Just seeing if this...
Well after having the block completely rebuilt and have ran it through the break in period I have a problem. All was good till the last time I was out and the motor seemed to stall out on me. Almost like it was out of gas. So I throttled back and killed the engine. I check the tank and could see...
I am hoping someone might be able to shine a light on my outboard jet problem. I am trying to see how high to mount it. I know that on a flat bottom boat the instructions call for the leading edge of the foot to be level with the bottom of the boat. My problem is I have a semi-v so the back...
I have quiCk question hopefully. I have a 1989 70 horse evinrude outboard and can't figure out what pole the tach should be set to. I tried the originally recommended 6 pole but that is for up to an 83. Any help is appreciated.
I have seen many posts on this but none with the same style motor I have. I have a 3 cylinder 70 horse evinrude I would like to install a water pressure gauge on. The kit I got from teleflex is very vaugue to say the least so I was hping someone on here could help. On the teleflex install it...
I am re-building my 70 horse outboard and want to make sure I have everything I need ready when the block is back from being bored. My VRO pump was working fine when I took it off, but I would like to replace the hoses on it. Do I have to order the specific hose parts from evinrude or can I...
Sorry if this has been covered before but I tried searching and never found the answer I was looking for. Basically what I did was bought a switchable 12/24 volt trolling motor and had some questions. First off I haven't seen many of these units so what are the downside of having a slectable...
I have aquired a 1989 70 horse evinrude with the VRO 2. The motor started right up when I got it home and ran. I turned it off and did some compression tests and routine matentaince to check out the motor before I would mount it to my boat. After Compression testing I found the cylinders from...
Ok I have a couple questions about this motor. First is easier, the tilt and trim pump is leaking and I can't find the seals. Does anyone know where I can find them as well as the tool to access the seals? The next question may sound a little strange. This motor has a jet foot on it right...
I want to add gauges to my boat for my out board. It is an 1985 Evinrude 30 horse with electric start. How hard would it be to put a Tach, and a Water Pressure gauge? I want to be able to monitor my motor without so much guess work. It is a tiller handle but I was wanting to put in a console...
I have a 1985 30 horse tiller handle Evinrude that I was trying to make a little easier to use on my jon boat. It shifts fine on the side but it is hard to navigate tight places having to turn around all the time to shift. Is there a way to rig a shifter rod on this tiller motor so I at least...
I have a 1985 Evinrude 30 horse with an electric start. I was wondering if there were anyway to put a chargin system on it so that it can maintain the starting battery. I hope to keep one battery on the boat, and then have one to pack on and off as I see fit. Any help would be greatly...
I have a 16' Lowe Line Jon Boat. I am looking to get it to run a little shallower in the river. Much more I am trying to get my 30 horse evinrude up out of harms way. I was debating on pods for the rear to compensate my heavy motor as well as my hefty self, and then maybe looking to install a...
I have a question for you pros. I have a 1985 30 horse Evinrude that ran like a top until last weekend. I was running the river fine and got to an area I had to keep my eye out in front when my motor slowly died out. I first thought I was out of gas, but saw some light smoke behind me. I...
