GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
I hope mine turns out that well. The power trim doesn't work on mine. I'm not sure what the story is. It's disconnected and maybe not all there, but I haven't gotten into it yet. I did find a manual that seems to be OK.
I just bought a boat with this motor and find very little about it, especially a service manual. I bought the boat for the boat, but it would be great if it turns out to be a good motor. Compression is 110-115, it starts and runs, but hasn't been in the tank yet. I expect the carbs to be a...
I'm about to go look at a Duroboat with an Evinrude 28SPL. I think it's from the late 80s. It sat for 5 years or so, but the seller says he's had it all gone through, to the tune of
$1300. I'll want to see that invoice of course. I would much prefer a not-so-ancient 4-stroke. Whaddaya think...
Surprising that stainless hardware doesn't hold up. I wasn't aware there were differing grades. Do you boat in the salt? My boat has been crabbing a lot and the galvanized bolts are badly corroded while the stainless look fine.
Yup, I'll measure it, as well as go over the hull with a fine tooth comb. It looks to me like this might be the biggest 12' boat around, with very high sides. But I do wish it was a 14'...
I really want to hold out for a four stroke, reasonably recent year. Aside from Honda I don't have a specific brand in mind. Are there brands to avoid? Seems to me that how the motor has been maintained is more important than brand, but that's hard to determine. If I see it run, check the...
This is what happens when you're both cheap and don't have a lot of money for the project. I haven't seen the boat yet, so I'm not sure what model it is, but at $500, it's as cheap a good boat and trailer as I'm going to find. Used SS motors are scarce around here. I'd love a new/newer 4...
I'm looking at buying a 12' Duroboat. I think the transom is 15", which puts in in short shaft territory, which is a hard used motor to find in my neighborhood. How bad would it be to run a long shaft? Would it be dangerous or just not perform as well? The boat seems to be rated for up to...
Yikes. The idle is still a tad rough and smoky but much better. I haven't been able to take it out yet so I don't know how it will run at speed. It might just need a hard run. We've got a big storm coming so it's going to be a week or so. The carb seemed pretty clean and the float and needle...
Thank you sir. I got those numbers from Tohatsu, along with a definitive answer that the carb and parts are no longer available. I'm waiting to hear if they know of any substitute. Would you you happen to know? I have cleaned the filter bowl and main body, which helped with a rough idle, but...
I have a 1992 NS9.9b and would like to have a spare thermostat on hand, along with the gasket. I can't find anything specific to this old motor, nor have the dealers I have talked to, including iBoats. I'm wondering if there are later model parts that would work. I think they built this basic...
