    Evinrude 8hp lower unit seals

    Yes once it separates. But if you have run it recent you will have milkshake. I did mis word it in the end I said water would come out before water the second water should be oil. But to clarify if it's brown or Amber colored oil that comes out your good no water. If it's milkshake colored...

    Evinrude 8hp lower unit seals

    Just pull the plug in the lower unit, does amber or brownish oil come out of a milkshake looking cream colored oil? The later indicates water. If it's been sitting awhile there may be pure water that runs out before any water. But yes running it in a bucket can cause the water to become cloudy...

    Does this gear and clutch dog look ok?

    Ding ding ding, a remote shifted engine. It was all kinds of monkeyed with. When I first got my hands on it the shifter shaft was disconnected. I tried to put it in and someone had it so tight that it wouldn't go all the way down and let the bolt capture the linkage in the notch on the haft from...

    Does this gear and clutch dog look ok?

    Yes he did like to ease it into gear! We didn't take this little 14 ft StarCraft out much but I'm sure he did it on this one, but I can really remember the pontoon he use to have, he would ease into that and I remember hearing those dogs clunk clunk clunk before he slipped it into gear. He...

    Does this gear and clutch dog look ok?

    So I have read a few posts and it says any rounding of the dog and gears is un acceptable, which I have on both. The clutch dog looks worse. I guess a question is would it be worth it to swap the clutch dog with the visible rounding on the Foward gear?

    Does this gear and clutch dog look ok?

    I know there is wear. But I'm more asking if it would be serviceable? There still is a lot of meat there but I am not knowledgeable on how square that shoulder needs to be to allow that dog to engage the gear. Can you swap the clutch dog around like I have heard you can do? This would give the...

    Are muffs available for 1959 5.5HP Golden Jubilee?

    There is a dude on eBay (thisoldoutboard) and NO it's not me, selling a plate that you replace the original plate with and then you thread in an adapter to the plate for the hose connection. It's not as simple as the muffs for modern motors. The trash can is easier and quicker.

    Old Johnson 115hp: How do I know if it is a 2-stroke or 4-stroke?

    I thought the other day about my post and remembered it was VRO. They made the "spl" motors up into the 90s which were premix as well and didn't have the VRO systems.

    Does this gear and clutch dog look ok?

    This is my late father in laws boat. The motor was not engaging fwd when I started working on it for my brother in law. The shift coupler wasn't together right. And I adjusted it where it now had Foward and reverse. It was leaking so now I am resealing the lower unit and looking at the fwd gear...

    Gear case hole?

    I'm with the others. There are two or three man made holes in various places to alleviate water inside so that it doesn't freeze.

    Does this motor have a thermostat?

    1970 4 hp Evinrude stops suddenly

    Yep I was going to say the same thing. You should be able to touch the head while running for a few seconds and not say it's hot or have to pull your hand away.

    1974 Evinrude 25hp wont run.

    Also a 25 is pretty fuel efficient at idle, so I don't see the point really to having another engine, sure it will save fuel but worth it, probably not. If you really want to quiet it down and save gas get a cheap transom trolling motor. I had one on my 15 foot fiberglass Jon boat type boat I...

    Pontoons - Growth from being slipped...what is it?

    Even if he did. That's not a big deal. May cost you some money if you wanted it removed or a little less money and more time of you do it yourself. Many people would just run it as it probably.

    Pontoons - Growth from being slipped...what is it?

    5 months at a time is a long time to be in the water! Yes it will grow stuff and you will get calcification on aluminum from minerals in the water.

    1974 Evinrude 25hp wont run.

    Get you a cheap spray bottle or grab an old Windex bottle and put premix fuel in it. You can spray that into the carb. Over time it will probably eat the seals but will get you through this. Or get a small water bottle and put a pin hole in the top and squeeze it into the carb throat. Doesn't...
