    Tilt Drive - Jinxed

    So I posted in another thread that I try to not mess with the worm screw in the tilt shaft because I was afraid of not getting the retaining ring back on well enough and losing the plug. Jinxed it. Of course after leaving the lake I was putting the motor down to store it and the plug shot 3...

    Service Manual

    I have read countless comments regarding buying a manual. I had one I thought was decent but recently purchased a year and model correct OMC Service Manual. I AM BLOWN AWAY. I had no idea how big a difference there was. Items I spent hours looking up online hoping for a picture or clue on before...

    Primer Bulb?

    Hey guys, My boat has been running great (mechanically) the only quirk the engine has is when starting. It turns over fine, but is slow to initially get gas. Once it starts, it turns over every time I hit the key until parked for a bit. I am sure I could spray it with some starter fluid and it...

Just buy a new exhaust plate and away we go. Question I have is, what issue could having this hole...

The stringer is OMC and is the set trim. So all I get is tilt. I had been putting off messing with it, but got a wild hair today, and got...

    OMC Tilt Issue

    My Tilt motor seems to have gotten a mind of its own. I just got it back from the shop, ran it for the day and when putting it back on the trailer the darn thing would not raise up. I removed the bolts on the quadrant gear to lift it manually and trailer it home. I first made sure the battery...

    69 Evinrude Explorer - New Shake

    I have seen a number of threads speaking about sudden shakes developing for numerous reasons, and thought I would ask directly about mine. I have recently purchased a 1969 Evinrude Explorer. I have had it out a few times for about 10-12 total running hours. The open interior is exactly what I...
