    Can another axle be added to my trailer

    I am wondering how hard it would be to add an axle to my single axle trailer. It is a pontoon trailer and I want it to be able to handle more weight. It currently can take 2850 lbs, my toon weighs 2150, and I want to be sure it is not overloaded when we go camping and have more items then usual...

    Interchange of 1964 and 1968 650, 65 hp parts

    I have a 1968 650 without the charging parts. Although it appears that it may have had them at some point as some of the wires are still there. I am rewiring the motor side and want to add the ability to charge the battery. I also have a 1964 650 with the parts to charge the battery. Are they...

    1973 Mercury 115hp Inline 6 looses power after running

    I recently bought this motor for a pontoon that I am restoring. It sat for 2 years so I followed the post on what to do before running it, lower unit oil, impellor etc., then took it out on the lake for a test. I ran it at the docks for about 20 minutes, so as to be close incase of major...

    Another motor stuck in forward, after running fine

    I bought this 650 Merc and used it all summer with no problems. The last two times out it was hard to get the cable to move the throttle. It shifted with a racheting sound into gear, forward and reverse but felt like it was binding when I tried to excelerate. I checked the mercontrol and nothing...

    Water Pumping out wrong place?

    I have a 1964 650, 65 horse, that I just bought. I spent yesterday and last night reading old posts about impellers and water pumps but found none similar to mine. The impeller was replaced, by previous owner, but no water comes out of the telltale. When I put the muffs on I hear water filling...

    Are these two props the same?

    I have a prop that is 10 1/4 X10 and marked PJ75. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is the same as the SMC-864, or reasonably compatable to use. The Prop I have fits 1960 to 1968 V4 Evinrude and Johnson motors. Thank you.

    Wires below water level in exhaust housing for electric shift..

    I found more wire problems with my 65 electric shift. The wires in the exhaust housing were partially clipped, but still working. When I hook them back together is there something I should use to make a water tight seal? Or should I not worry about it.

    Planing a 14 1/2 foot with 40Hp

    After reading several other posts I am not sure which would be better, Hydrofoil or Trim Tabs (no specific brand is important, since opinions vary). On full Throttle the front of my boat comes out of the water about 2-3 feet. This is with me, my two sons, and tackle, in the seats. The top of my...

    What hooks to the bottom of a water operated choke?

    On my 65 lark 7 there is a fitting to attach a hose at the bottom of the hot water choke. I have never had anything attached to it for two years but since I am putting on new wiring and cleaning it I thought I would connect it. The Clymer manual I have does not say what hooks to it. I would...

    Selectric Lower Gear Unit

    I have two questions concerning the 1965 Evinrude 40 hp that I own. It is a selectric shift. I have done several things from previous posts on this sight but still have a problem. I have forward gear, nuetral, and forward when I press reverse. I noticed today that the voltage drops to 8.5 volts...
