I just bought a 1973 Evinrude 25 H.P. outboard and after putting it on my boat realized it doesn't have a tilt lock. Well, it does but it seems totally useless. It is supposed to work. with friction. You tighten the bolt, but how many bumps travelling down a road before the bolt loosens and...
Hi Mike, I am afraid it will be too tight because I had to buy a plate with tilt tube because the motor doesn't have one so I can run my sterring cable through it. I have to put that between my transom and the tighten down bolts.
The transom didn't expand because it was wet, I added layers and layers not knowing what I was doing . I made it so wide the motor wont fit now. I am not going to rip out my transom. I just need to make it not so wide and am asking how to do that. I cut the fiberglass out so my motor will fit...
Thanks I have the manual and can find wiring diagrams. I need information on where the starter solenoid sits, where its attached, how to get the remote start harness and battery cables through to the motor.
Hello, I had to repair a very little of rot out near the top of the outer edge my transom a few years back and when I re-fiberglassed(which I was new to doing) my transom became much bigger and wider. My Mercury still fit on the transom so no problem. But I bought another motor and it won't...
The last owner took all the electric start parts off the motor and I want to put them back on. Its pretty obvious where the starter goes but the rest??? What wires to what? I can't read wiring diagrams. I have the controls and harness with key and sart/choke button which all look in good shape...
I am thinking of replacing my Mercury with a older evinrude but not if its a huge hastle. I have cable stering set up ith my Mercury but this 1973 Evinrude uses an old pulley system, which I am not into using. I there adapters so this evinrude can use my exsiting cable? Or something? I have...
upon inspection, wood from the keel is sticking out of the fiberglass all the way to the back.. from the rollers i'd imagine, and it feels like silicone was used. What a mess!
Thanks guys, but I don't have a garage. The boat sits under a shelter logic. I managed to get a neighbour over to help me take the boat off the trailer and put it on blocks, and that was a lot of work. I hope my neighbours back it ok! By how that went I am asuming 4 strong guys and myself...
