    Running without prop.

    Is it ok to run a 90HP outboard in the water without a prop? Sounds silly but the boat has been sitting for a long time and I want to blow the cobwebs out of it so to speak. With a 13 inch prop the prop wash is so strong that it blows all the water out of the trough I have it sitting in so by...

    1990 Evinrude 90HP starter wants to run the motor counter-clockwise

    This is a stupid question but why does the starter want to run the motor counter-clockwise? The rope gouge where the knotted end of the starter rope would go would spin the motor clockwise which is the way it should spin. Any help would be great. Please pardon my ignorance, I'm new to boating so...
