    Tell Tale...sometimes yes, sometimes no.

    I have a 1989 9.9 Evinrude that every once in a while won't push water out of the tell tale. Normally if I shut it off and restart it it will push water, some times I have to do it a couple times. Can these things get air locked? Any cure for it?

    1989 9.9 starting problems

    I recently bought a boat with a 9.9 Evinrude electric start tiller steer. I believe it is a E10SELCE. The previous owner had it serviced in February and said that his kids used it every couple weeks and never had any trouble with it (assuming he wasn't lying). I got to hear it run, and it ran...

    In need of advise on my 25 Evinrude

    In need of tire help.

    I need to replace the 175/80-13 on my trailer. There doesn't seem to be a big selection of that size. What are my choices as far as sizes and where is the best place to get a good price on a set? Thanks.

    1992 25hp Evinrude...what is this?

    This part keeps bending. The motor seems to run just fine, but while I was trying to figure out how to bump up the idle a little, I found this part bent. It is a soft aluminum piece.

    Need advice on how to handle mechanic.(update)

    A couple weeks ago I took my new to me boat to the mechanic to have some work done on it. They changes the fluids, tuned it and put a new ignition coil on it. The first time out, after about a half dozen starts, one of the bolts that hold the starter on vibrated out forcing the starter to not...

    Sea Nymph seats

    I'd like to add a pedestal base to my 89 Sea Nymph that is interchangeable with the stock pedestals...problem is, I didn't realize all the different styles. Does anyone know what style is compatable with the stock seats? They ones in it now are 2" dia with screw in bottoms.
