    1977 65 hp tilt

    Re: 1977 65 hp tilt Frank, here are a couple pics. I have the parts catalogs for both the 55 and 65 and I also have a 55 hp motor that is not mounted on anything. Both catalogs list a different swivel assembly on both motors and the 55 also came in short shaft and long shaft versions which...

    1977 65 hp tilt

    Having a hard time deciding where exactly to post this question. I have a 1984 15' Bayliner with a mismatched 1977 Chrysler 65 hp outboard that I would like to put a tilt assembly on. Currently I lift it by hand and it's a bugger to pull up all the time. I was told that the older Force trim/tilt...

    Chrysler prop question

    A semi complicated question, at least to me. I installed a Chrysler outboard on my '84 1600 Bayliner cuddy. It had no motor when I got it. I had a motor which was a 1977 Chrysler 65hp magnapower II. The motor has had a powerhead change to a 55hp Magnapower II. So it is essentially a 55hp mated...

    Chrysler ignition switch wiring

    Just bought a 1977 Chrysler 55hp Magnapower II and I apparently need to replace the ignition switch that came with it. There is no key, it won't shut the motor off after it's started either and unless it's turned off after starting only 1 cylinder fires. I didn't wire it, it's the way it came so...

    Need help wiring a 1976 Chrysler 55hp

    Re: Need help wiring a 1976 Chrysler 55hp Here are pics from the motor. There's nothing really happening with it. I just want to start it on a sawhorse and not on the boat. Not sure what all I need to do. I have turned it over and done a compression test. It should run, I just wasn't sure what...

    Need help wiring a 1976 Chrysler 55hp

    I have a 1976 55hp Chrysler that I want to start off the boat and with no ignition switch or controls hooked up. The starter cables are attached and it turns over. I need to hook up the battery to the terminal block and probably jump a couple terminals to start it. Any idea on how to do this...

    Chrysler 55 hp steering with Force cable

    I had this 55 hp Chrysler, 1976 motor which is a great runner. I bought an '84 Bayliner 1600 with no motor or controls. The steering cable is there though. So I put the 55 on the boat but there's no steering cable tube on the pivot point. How were these motors connected to the steering? Any...

    Need a coil and points condenser for a 1939 Kissel Waterwitch model 571-32

    Can anyone tell me if the ignition parts are available for this little 3/4 hp waterwitch? I need the coil for sure but would also like to find points and condenser if possible.

    Broken transom screw on 1917 Evinrude

    Re: Broken transom screw on 1917 Evinrude Solder is pretty strong if done correctly. It already held up to running a threader over it. I had to use a 12-inch wrench to work it in and clean out the transom threads. I put anti seize on it. You can turn it with your fingers now. The solder held up...

    Broken transom screw on 1917 Evinrude

    The brass transom screw was frozen in the clamp and it ended up breaking off when I put a wrench to it. When I tried to get the ball end out the ball broke off. Had to drill it out and use an easy out. Anyway, rather than search for an original screw I bought a 4-inch long 5/8" brass rod...

    A rare 1917 Evinrude Mode AA, 4-stroke 2 cylinderl

    Re: A rare 1917 Evinrude Mode AA, 4-stroke 2 cylinderl Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions. Here's my 1915 I finished restoring recently. I love these old motors. What started out as something to do last summer has now resulted in a collection of about 20 motors. Three of them I...

    A rare one - 1917 Evinrude model AA 4-stroke

    Did a couple hours work on a friends outboard and got several old outboards in exchange. One looked like a pile of crap but beneath the crap lied a 1917 Evinrude model AA 4-stroke 2 cylinder. A fairly rare motor made for 2 years and considered a boat anchor by those that had them. It was only...

    Lets talk carburetors, 1939 Waterwitch poppet style carb

    1939 Kissel Waterwitch 3/4 hp model 571.32. Who makes this carburetor? There is no name or info anywhere on it other than ALCOA which is probably the company that made the aluminum body. It is a poppet style carb. I took it apart awhile ago and now I have 2 springs, a large and a small and I...
