    Restoring old Starcraft 12', need gunnel trim

    I recently purchased a 1958 Starcraft 12' v-hull mainly to purchased the outboard but after looking over the boat I would like to make it my small lake fishing craft. The boat is missing all gunnel trim (or is it a "cap"?). The previous owner screwed 3/4" pine strips to beef up the gunnel but...

    Honda BF50 5 hp - help ID

    A co-worker has an outboard that was given to him and we were trying to ID the motor and determine if it is worth putting some $$$ into to get it running. To make the ID more challanging, the previous owner painted the motor olive drab for duck hunting. We pulled the cowling off and found a...

    '90 Johnson 40 hp also locked down

    This is my third attempt to post with no expert advise yet so I'll try to reformat as I've worked on it a little more. I've recently acquired a boat with a '90 Johnson 40 hp (J40ELESR). The motor doesn't have electric tilt. The motor is stuck in the down position & I suspect the problem is...

    Is this normal for 9.9 Evinrude (cooling problem)?

    I replaced the water pump assembly on my 1979 9.9 Evinrude recently (first time I've disassembed a lower unit). I "can" tested the motor yesterday and didn't get significant flow from the "pee hole", just occasional drip. I noticed a lot of water flowing out of the lower unit and took a short...

    Reattaching lower 9.9 lower unit

    This is my first attempt to reattach the lower unit assembly to the motor ('79 short shaft 9.9 Evinrude). All is going well until I try to slide the lower unit up the final few inches. I have the lower rod pulled up as far as it will go (reverse?) and the shifter in forward to expose as much...

    Does this 9.9 Evinrude need "new" lower unit?

    In process of first lower unit repair and this is the first lower unit I've seen up close and personal. Looks like a previous repair was made to build up the water pump base (photos attached). When plate is installed, it looks like a flat fit. The "inlet" gap is the plate looks unblocked when...

    Leaking lower unit '79 Evinrude 9.9

    I fired up my newly acquired '79 9.9 Evinrude for a test fire in a barrel. Fired up but didn't spray water after warming up for 7 minutes so it looks like an impeller replacement is in order. I drained the barrel yesterday and removed the outboard this morning and noticed the lower unit is...

    Please help ID year of this 9.9 Evinrude

    I have acquired this older 9.9 Evinrude. It has good even compression and spark but I can't get it to fire so I think the carb will need cleaning and possibly rebuilding. I did try it out on fresh fuel. In order to get the correct parts I need to ID the year. I can't make out the first...

    What yrs will interchange on '79 OMC 9.9 hp?

    I recently obtained a 1979 Evinrude 9.9 hp. I may have to replace the powerhead as the pistons seem frozen or very tight (they seem to be loosening up slightly after a day's soaking in solvent. Before I spend too much time and money, can someone please advise what years (or models) of Johnson...
