    Disconnecting the shift rod?

    I'm wanting to remove the foot on this 57 E'rude 35hp #2502806704 (on the Freeze plug). I'm sort of lost on how to disconnect the shift rod. How does this shift rod disconnect? I will be doing the same on the 35hp Johson version of the same year so I can replace the impellers and clean...

    Aproximatly how much water

    would the boat take on with one small hole in an hour of being on the lake? After taking this 1977 Challenger bass boat out of water and taking the drain plug out I realized that the boat took on allot of water. So far I have only found one hole (after changing the position of the boat), I...

    Name these carb parts

    I got these carbs back from getting them cleaned a couple of days ago, I looked at the rebuild kit and I am lost as can be. I cannot believe my carbs were missing all of these o-rings and washers, no wonder my motor wasn't throttling up in gear. These parts have been missing from the day I...

    I am trying to find a carb rebuild kit for a relative for a vintage super 10hp wizard. 802-419 are the only numbers we can get off of this motor. Is there a website that has parts for these motors? Are parts still available? The old motor will run with the aid of gas being poured into...

    Thinking of replacing my coils

    I am trying to find the most recent number that I have had seen for my coils, the brp number shows to be 581819, but from what I understand this is an old number. The motor model number once again is 85895c, 1978 85hp Evinrude. I did a spark check a couple of weeks ago and I had over 7/16th...

    Old humming bird lcr 2000

    I'm torn between putting this depth finder on the bow of my boat, it does still work. I took it up to the pond out back and tested it out by moving the transducer to different depths, it still works but the screen is a little clouded. I thought about trying to sell it and putting the money...

    Adjusting the shift cable?

    Well I got my motor running just about 30 minutes ago for the first time this year, got the water pump installed, thanks to all who chimed in on my past threads. The motor sounds awesome, I might still have some fine tunning to do still though. Getting ready to take her out for a shake down...

    Would this hull be worth getting?

    I ran up on a deal (maybe not such a deal) but it caught my attention, this 1991 25ft wellcraft cuddy I found is dirt cheap ($75). I have not seen this boat in person, there would be a little traveling involved but not much. It was involved in a storm and received damage to the hull. It...

    Tendinitis? Input please...

    I took the liberty to cut the excess metal off of a front end loader bucket. The bucket was modified to hold more dirt but due to the modification it wouldn't work for our application. Anyhow I used a saw zaw instead of a torch because we were out of oxygen. It took me over an hour to cut...
