    Anyone know anything about or have any personal experience with the trailex SUT-200 canoe trailer?<br /><br />It appears to be what I am looking for to trailer my fishing canoe.<br /><br />Thanks,

    Correct trailer orentation

    I'm working on trailering my canoe (see my post "Trailering a canoe".<br /><br />Question: When pulling a trailer should the hitch height be so that the trailer remains level, tilts up slightly (hitch slightly high) or tilts down slightly (hitch slightly low)?<br /><br />Thanks,

    Trailering a canoe

    I have a River Ridge Custom Canoe (a canoe specifically designed for fishing - sort of a cross between a canoe and a bass boat) and I want to trailer it behind our RV (a 19 ft. Roadtrek - van conversion). The RV has a spare tire kit that sticks out 12 inches on the left rear.<br /><br />The...

    9.5 Evinrude; What is this hole for?

    1972 Evinrude 9.5 HP, Model 9222<br /><br />There is a small hole, about 3/16 inch diameter, in the underside (bottom) of the cavitation plate above the prop. The hole is offset about 3/8 inch to the right of center. <br /><br />After running the motor in a garbage can of water yesterday, some...

    9.5 HP Prop Size

    1972 Evinrude 9.5 HP, Model 9222:<br /><br />I want to get a spare prop. The prop on the motor now, the "standard" prop listed in the parts list, is an 8-1/8x8.<br /><br />I can get an 8-1/8x8, an 8-1/2x8, an 8-1/4x8-1/2, an 8-1/2x8-1/2, or maybe even some other sizes in this range.<br /><br...

    OMC; Why both Johnson and Evinrude?

    I remember during the 1950s and 1960s Johnson and Evinrude outboards were about all I saw. I also remember that many people were very opinionated regard the relative merits of Johnson over Evinrude or Evinrude over Johnson, even though we all knew (sort of) that they were the same under the...

    What spare parts should one have onhand?

    1972 Evinrude 9.5hp, Model 9222:<br /><br />Right now my new (to me) motor is in good shape. Nothing is broke and nothing needs fixing, everything works like it should.<br /><br />I intend to run this motor forever - it should outlast me - and since it's 30 years old now and not likely to get...

    Propellers; Light load/general use/heavy/etc.???

    I have noticed, while looking for a spare prop for my 9.5hp outboard, several different diameters and pitches with cryptic (to me anyway)descriptors such as: "light load" or "general use" or "normal load" or "heavy load" etc.<br /><br />I think I understand "general use" as a compromise design...

    Water running out of gearcase/exhaust housing junction?

    1972 Evinrude 9.5hp, Model 9222:<br /><br />Put my new (to me) motor in a garbage can full of water for it's first test run. Started on 5th or 6th pull, adjusted idle, runs great! (I think)<br /><br />But, a question: water spurts/sprays a heavy stream out of the water outlet, just like I would...

    How is the tilt lock supposed to work?

    1972 Evinrude 9.5hp, Model 9222:<br /><br />How is the tilt lock supposed to work?<br /><br />In reverse the tilt lock is engaged, motor is locked in the down position - I understand this is correct to keep the motor from popping out of the water in reverse.<br /><br />In forward the tilt lock...

    How tight should the prop nut be?

    1972 Evinrude 9.5hp, Model 9222:<br /><br />How tight should the prop nut be? Should the prop move a little, along the prop shaft, or should the prop nut be snug against the prop?<br /><br />Is it hand tight only? Doesn't look like something one is supposed to put a wrench on.<br /><br />Thanks,

    Replacing steering friction pads on Evinrude 9.5

    I have a new (to me) 1972 Evinrude 9.5, Model 9222.<br /><br />The steering friction adjustment pads are worn, one fell out in pieces, needing replcing. I was able to get two new pads at a local dealer.<br /><br />These pads are washers, 3/4" in diameter with a 1/4" hole, made from a brake-pad...

    Is a Johnson really the same as an Evinrude?

    I continue to see posts that state that an older Johnson is the same as an equivalent Evinrude.<br /><br />Is this really true?<br /><br />Is a 9R72 Johnson the exact same motor as a 9222 Evinrude (except for the paint and logo)? <br /><br />If I get a Johnson owner's / service / parts manual...

    Underpowered 9.5HP???

    I'm confused!<br /><br />I have read several posts stating that the Johnson/Evinrude 9.5hp outboard is "underpowered" and performs more like a 7.5 or an 8 hp.<br /><br />It's my understanding that outboard hp ratings are determined according to standards established by the N.M.M.A. and ICOMIA...
