I have a 90 2 stroke on one of my boats. Trim has gotten very slow going down. It is still normal speed going up. I noticed when I held it down for a couple seconds(about half way down) the wire gets so hot it starts smoking. The jumper power wire to the relay gets very hot along with the wire...
I have an older 2 stroke Nissan 5hp. Motor is on my little 12ft aluminum I fish backwaters in. Has always been a great little motor. This year has been a hard starter. Especially hot or after long trips down the road. Runs like a champ once it’s running and idle all day long. After trips to the...
I have a pair of 2004 Evinrude 175s on my boat I recently acquired and I tilted them up yesterday to check some things out and they are both stuck in the up position. No matter what I tried can’t get them down. The manual release screw valve is stuck on the starboard motor and one side of the...
I am looking at a boat that has twin 2004 direct injection Evinrude 175s on it and wanted to see what everybody’s thoughts were on them. They have 530 hours on them and are said to run great. Are these the later ones that are BRP built and better motors? Anybody’s advice or opinion on these is...
So I have an 02 OX66 150 on my bay boat and was wondering what the difference in it and a 200 were. I've been comparing part numbers and going through manuals and all I can find are different part number for the CDI box and the cylinder heads. Also the 150 runs a BR7 plug and the 200 runs a BR8...
I am considering purchasing an 82 model 3cyl 70 that I can get rather cheap. I have been searching high and low and coming up empty but I was wondering what the lower unit gear ratio is(I know it's a 3-1/4" diameter), and also what the power head displacement on it is. Anyone here have any...
I am picking up a 90 Nissan with a bad lower unit casing on it and was wondering if any other models would fit. I have access to a tohatsu 140. Will this bolt up? I have read through the service manuals and there's lots of similarities with the 2 lowers but can't tell if it'll bolt right up and...
I have a 68 Johnson 9.5 on my little duck boat and the very bottom piece of the lower unit cracked during the summer when I was out just running it and hit a rock so it drained all of the oil out. I have a 64 that's a parts motor so I took the bottom piece off of the lower unit of it and it...
I am 18 and have saved up some money to buy me a fishing boat to fish lakes and coastal waters on occasion and was just wondering what y'all thought about this boat. http://charleston.craigslist.org/boa/4511102594.html the boat is an 84 model and the motor is a 92 Johnson 88 special. Thanks in...
I have an older carbureted johnson 135 and when I took it out today it took off and did good for the first 1/2 mile or so but then started surging at full throttle but would do fine if backed off to about 3/4 throttle. The surging kept on but then the motor wouldn't do anything. I would crank it...
I took my recently acquired 135 to the lake today and when it started up the rpms went way up. The tach was not working right so I'm not sure exactly how high but I would guess close to 5000. I would shut it down fast every time. Any idea what could be causing this?
The sending unit on my center console is bad and I am in need if a new one. The tank is under my console and I could very easily look down and see the gauge on one of the mechanical ones but I could also just hook an electric one up to the existing gauge. Which one is the better choice?
Me and several of my buddies are trying to plans trip for a few days to go try some inshore fishing around charleston for spring break sometime between April 5-12 for a couple days. Anyone on here fish around there and have any tips on fishing that time of year? Or know any good places to stay...
My 1968 Johnson 9.5 has been sitting for few months so I decided I needed to get it our and started. I sat it on the back of the Jon boat and put it in the drum. Hooked the tank up to it and choked it and it started on the second pull. It was running fine and pumping water good but it started...
