    89 OMC Cobra shift assist adjustment

    M 89 OMC 5.8L Cobra's shift assist module won't disingage at idle speed. I have to rev it some to get it to disconnect. Where is the adjustment on this, and how do I adjust it?

    Trim pin for 1975 25hp Evinrude

    Anyone know how I can get a spare trim pin for a 1975 25hp Evinrude? I can't find the part # on the BRP website. I would like to get the part # and order it from NAPA. I sure like the pinless design on my 6 much better.

    1975 25HP 'Rude; hard starting, bulb soft

    My 1975 25 hp 'Rude is hard to start. It will only start when it has almost full throttle. The throttle limiter in neutral is out of adjustment. Some days it won't start at all. The bulb won't get hard. I have a new walmart tank and hose. Where should I start looking?

    What speed can I expect with my 6 hp 2 stroke on my 12.5' Saturn inflatable with 2 adults? My 25 is a hard-starter and weighs 30 pounds more.

    Blower on '89 Ciera 2150

    My blower went out. Didn't think to measure it. Does anyone know what replacement fits? Stock is fine, it lasted 18 years!

    power diff between '75 OMC 25hp and '96 OMC 15hp?

    Will I be able to notice the power difference between my 1975 'Rude 25hp and a 1996 15hp 'Rude? Lighter (10 lbs), newer and presumably more reliable. Something on the 25hp failed every day last vacation. Should I just keep what I have and work the bugs out of it?

    Backfire, then no start

    My 25 hp backfired when trying to start it, then nothing; not a hit, after several tries. Any ideas?

    Rubbermade container for 25HP outboard

    Does anybody know of a place where I can get a Rubbermade type container long enough for a 25HP Outboard? A top would be very helpful so I can duct tape it shut to keep the fumes in for transport.

    zip ties on hose between pump and carb

    My newly purchased motor (1975 25 HP Evinrude) was marketed as having new fuel pump and hoses. The clear hose between the pump and the carb is held in place with 2 zip ties instead of a hose clamp. He did use hose clamps on the tank fitting to fuel pump hose. I left the fuel hooked up, and...

    Flush mount seat mounts in jon boat

    I need advice about a seat mount (base) in my flat bottom jon boat. I would like one that will flush mount in an aluminium flat seat, and will have some sort of plastic over the hole so it has a finished look even when the seat is out. I know I will have to drill a circular hole in the seat...

    Hints on 22 CID ('75 25 HP) Evinrude idle?

    Any hints on how to improve idle on 22 CID 'Rude? There was apparently a thread on this in 2006, but I can't find it. It addressed some sort of oil recycling? I decarboned all day yesterday and took it on the cold lake today. Man it ran smooth in its cruising range. Really too much power...

    1975 25 HP Evinrude came in today!

    My new to me 1975 25 HP Evinrude came in today! Of course, DHL delivered it to the wrong house. Didn't find it until 10:00 p.m. Got it off e-bay for $460. I hope it is as good as my 1975 6HP I bought off e-bay in June. I really think fall is the best time to get motors off e-bay. Going to...

    Add on fins under jon boat water tight?

    My 1990 Polar Kraft 14' Jon boat has two "fins" riveted to the floor of the boat. I guess these fins add directional stability, or could be used for beaching the boat without touching the actual hull. Are they supposed to be watertight? Mine have gaps at the front of the boat where they...

    Do I need long shaft?

    My father gave me an old 14" Polarkraft 14' jon boat with a 16" transom. Today on the lake my 15 " shaft outboard kept getting fouled with leaves. Does that mean I need a long shaft?

    Joining 2 sheets of Plywood for transom

    My transom is 1 1/4 inches thick. Since they don't make marine plywood that thick, I can double up 2 5/8 sheets to get the proper thickness. How do I glue them together? 3m 5200?

    1990 Polar Kraft S 1440 - max hp?

    1990 Polar Kraft S 1440 18 - max hp? Can anyone find a way to check capacities of this model? iboats lists an s-1418 that can take a 20hp. I presume this boat would be the same, but wanted to be sure. Price was right --free! Transom looks a little bad at the bottom. Looks like a good...

    More power from 3 1/2 Tohatsu?

    My 2004 3.5 HP 2 stroke Tohatsu pushes my 12' Portaboat to 7-8 mph. My 6 HP 2 stroke Johnson (1975 model) pushes it to 11-12 mph. Both numbers are with 2 people one 200 lbs and the other 100 lbs, from a GPS. Are these numbers out of range? Is my 6 hp under performing? I get the impression that...

    Broken shift lever, 6hp OMC, Alumaloy?

    Can Alumaloy reattach a broken shift lever on a 6 HP johnson? I have never welded anything in my life, but this seems doable.
