    ‘84 Evinrude 15 water pump issue

    Come into my possession is an ‘84 15hp Evinrude. Fires up and idles great. But it has intermittent water issues. From water pump to tell-tale is clear. I can hook a hose direct to the copper water inlet tube and run it through no problems. I replace the complete water pump. Impeller shim is...

    Reverse Cam Position

    Thanks, I was definitely just second guessing it since I've had the LU off since December

    Reverse Cam Position

    I had my LU off to do a skeg repair and water pump. I was careful with disassembly but I just want to make sure I put it back together with the reverse cam positioned on the spline correctly. I read before disassembly to put the motor in forward, so currently the motor and LU spline are in Fwd...

    Second fuel tank

    hey all curious about running a second tank on my 60hp two stroke Merc. I'm currently running a 5gal and carry a 5gal jerry and dont have good storage for it unless it's on it's side under the floor. I was originally hoping there was enough clearance under the floor to install a 12gal low...

    Skeg Welding

    Thanks for the input! I have the lower unit pulled, water pump kit on order. I replaced the lower unit oil seals just in August. I think what I'll do is remove the vent plug and use putty as mentioned above or cool rags on the prop shaft housing, then just keep an eye on temps as we go.

    Skeg Welding

    Bought an older Mirrorcraft aluminum fishing boat a couple years ago with '89 Merc 60 on it, been using the boat and fixing it up as I go. Fires up and runs great even sitting over night below freezing; 105psi compression across the cylinders. Good hole shot and 33mph top. Electrical and lines...

    Add alternator to 1987 Merc 60?

    Interesting! I just got the boat in the fall spur of the moment and only ran it a few times before winterizing. I'll have a look for the stator, and check voltages. The previous owner installed a permanent Noco dual bank charger so I just assumed he always had to plug the batteries in to keep...

    Add alternator to 1987 Merc 60?

    Is it possible to add an alternator to a 1987 2 stroke 60hp? Would love to be able to charge my batteries, I have 'range anxiety' when I go on week long fishing trips.

    Quick confirm: oil mix

    thanks guys. i had it out on a local river last weekend to make sure boat and motor were solid, and it ran great - topped out at 24mph which was a bit slower than I'd hoped but it's old and the boat is heavy

    Quick confirm: oil mix

    @marc c Awesome thanks for confirming. Don't have auto lube on this motor. @The Force power Is the synblend oil not advised just because of price? Everything in Canada is expensive haha, and it's the only one of two that I could find in a 1 gal jug, the other being QuickSilver and it was $10...

    Quick confirm: oil mix

    Just bought a boat with a 1986 merc 60, the guy I bought it from seemed very knowledgeable and gave me a thorough rundown on the boat, motor, and any minor foibles the old girl has. Motor runs great after a good warm up. But he told me the oil mix is 40:1, this seemed off to me but he assured...
