    Adding tach to Evinrude ski twin

    I'm wondering if it's possible to add a tach to my 1966 Evinrude Ski-twin motor. I don't have much of a wiring harness, so I don't know where to begin.

    Looked at a 1962 Johnson 35... advice needed.

    I went and checked out a 1962 Johnson Sea Horse that is selling for $350. It is a short shaft, just what I need, complete with controls, electric start. The reason I want this motor is because my boat will only really accept a short shaft and I need something in this HP range, and a short shaft...

    I'm looking at a 1965 evinrude 33hp short shaft for 225. Runs good. Is it going to be hard to find parts for a motor this old? Any info would be great.

    Oil/water mix leaked into lower end

    I've been trying to get water to pump up to the powerhead but even after replacing the impeller and various seals I still get no water. I pulled the lower unit off to re-inspect my newly installed impeller and found a dark mix of oil and water pooled up in that recessed area around the water...

    Force 50 possible lower unit problems

    I recently started up a 1984 Force 50 I purchased off craigslist. The motor shifts and runs in reverse, but when I shift into forward it won't engage at all, or won't engage until the engine is at very high RPMS (this happened once). I pulled apart the lower end and found everything to be in...

    1984 Force 50 worth keeping?

    I recently picked up a 1984 Force 50 for $125 of craigslist. After doing some research on parts availability for these motors, I found lots of parts have been discontinued or 'obsolete'. Also, it seems a water pump kit costs over $100. The motor turns over and has compression, but I haven't had...
