    Opinions on Evinrudes Part 2

    I am looking at a 25 hp 1983 Evinrude with electric start. What is the approximate weight of this motor? Is it OK for a 14-15 aluminum V boat? Are the 1983 models as reliable as restored 1970's? I really appreciate your opinions and assistance! Thanks in advance>

    I need opinions on certain Johnson/Evinrudes

    I need opinions on Evinrude/Johnson motors. In particular the 60?s, 70?s, and some a little later 18hp, 20hp, and 25hp. Does anyone know the weights of these motors? I have a 9.5 Evinrude on an aluminum V fishing boat that is around 14 feet and 5 inches. I would like more horsepower to give a...

    9.5 Evinrude flywheel removal and spark plug anti-seize

    In replacing the spark plugs (J4C) in my 9.6 1964 Evinrude, should I use anti-seize. (30 years ago when I last worked on car engines, I always used anti-seize.) I have been told that the new Champions are already coated and one should not use anti-seize because you could over tighten them. The...

    In my 9.5 hp Evinrude it takes about half of a rotation (90 degrees) of my driveshaft to turn the prop from forward to reverse and vice versus. I previously said that I had some play in my driveshaft in going from forward to reverse etc. and I was told this was normal; but, I did not mention how...

    Help with 9.5 hp fuel line size 1964

    I just bought a very clean 9.5 hp 1964 outboard. It had not been run for 5 or more years. It ran well but needed at least a new fuel pump impeller. I decided to change the fuel lines to make sure they were alcohol resistant. The line I removed from the tank to the fuel pump is larger than the...
