    Attwood hydrofoil satbilizers, do harm?

    Will they break the anticavitation plate?? I have a '88 Evin, 60hp, that came with the 2 piece Attwood foils. I'm new to boating, since March, and a fishing buddy told me that I should have a one piece foil, like the aluminum whale tail, and that the 2 piece plastic/rubber ones will break the...

    1996 Sailfish 17' water-logged?

    It is supposed to rain, wish it would, so I cranked the boat as high as I could in front so the rain would run out the drain plug and give it a good bath in the process. There's a silver dollar size hole in the fiberglass in the fore side of the bilge well in front of the motor. Water was...

    How to lube steering system

    Have a 1996 17' Sailfish with center console. The steering is really hard, stiff and jerky. It must be the cable is rusted or corroded, since the boat sat out in the weather for 2 years before I bought it. Is there a way to lube the cable? I know there's an attachment to put on motorcycle cables...

    Re-Prop a 1988 60hp Evinrude....HELP

    I have a 1988 E60TLCCR on a 1996 17' Sailfish, fiberglass and seems heavy. It came with a SS 13x19 pitch prop, bought the whole thing used. Got the motor running excellent, as far as I know. This is my first boat. It wouldn't go on plane, so I borrowed a 13x15 pitch, and it will plane if I run...

    Propeller Theory

    I was told by a couple of "shade-trees" around here that if you go from a 3 bladed prop to a 4 blade, you should drop the pitch by 2. Example: 3 blade 13x15 pitch to a 4 blade 13x13 pitch. Does it take more power (torque) to turn the 3 blade or the 4 blade? Or is all that irrelevant? Just trying...

    1988 E60TLCCR T&T Motor Replacement problem

    Is there a trick to removing that back corner screw on the trim and tilt motor without taking the port side stern bracket off? Is there a trick getting the screw back in? I'm putting a new T&T motor on today, and I hate to take the stern bracket off for one screw. If I have to take it off, how...

    1988 Evinrude 60HP stumbles

    E60TLCCR, new power pack, new fuel pump, new carb kits, new hose and bulb, 120, 110, 120 compression, new plugs. Starts right up, in gear at a fast idle runs fine, then when I give it more throttle, it stumbles and dies. Run it in fast idle, give it more throttle and quickly twist the manual...

    1988 Evinrude 60hp Tach wire

    The tach doesn't work, and I was wondering which wire from the motor is the tach wire(s). What is it connected to on the motor, the power pack? My service manual won't be here until next week. Thanks.

    1988 evinrude 60hp wont rev up under load.

    Bought it 4 weeks ago, it came with the boat I was wanting. Put a power pack in and it fired right up after new plugs installed. Put kits in carbs, clean as a whistle. VRO pump leaky, so I put in a regular fuel pump and did away with the vro pump. Did the link and sink, new fuel lines, new fuel...
