    Mariner 40 hp need help identifying year & wiring a proper switch

    I recently inherited a old flat bottom fishing boat with a 40 mariner made in japan. I believe it will be ok with a few repairs. First, What year is it? The plate is printed ""MARINER 40 MADE IN JAPAN 6E9 S 101205". Second, the cable from the engine to the remote control was badly beaten by the...

    1973 Mercury 650 (65 hp) 3 cyl tachometer question

    I need help with a tachometer on my '73 650. I know it is supposed to plug into the remote control box, but beyond that I don't have a clue. I have this motor on my 1957 Duracraft Duraflite and the manual says 4800-5200 RPM is ideal, so I need a tach so I know if the prop is correct. Any help...

    Someone plz help me identify my boat

    It's a Duracraft. That's all I know. Neat little 15' aluminum runabout, but beyond that I have no idea. I would love to know the year and model. I figure it is a late 50's era. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    45 hp Ignition/Choke Wiring (457H1M)

    I just bought a 45hp Chrysler from a friend. Apparently it was used a few times a year on a small pontoon. The motor was taken off the pontoon and stored with the remote control and cables, but nothing else. So now I have a motor and a remote control with cables but no wiring except the large...

    1959 Evinrude 35 Lark Golden Jubilee dies

    1959 Evinrude 35 Lark Golden Jubilee cranks and idles without ever even squeezing the primer bulb. But about 150 yards away from the ramp after I putt out of the no wake zone I give her full throttle and she spins right up there and about the time we plane the boat out it dies. Seems just like...

    1959 Evinrude 35 Lark Golden Jubilee Switch

    I just purchased my first small boat / outboard. From all accounts it appears to be a 1959 Duracraft Duraflite and the 35 Lark having Golden Jubilee badges indicates to me it must also be a 59 model. My question is about the ignition switch. The decorative bezel has two holes for switches, one...
