    '83 Evinrude 70hp lower unit rebuild

    I recently picked up a lower unit to replace my damaged one. The person I got it from said and it worked fine but the prop had a pretty good ding in it and I wanted to make sure the gears weren't damaged. I took it down so I could examine both the forward and reverse gears and the pinion and...

    Lower Unit Compatability

    Thanks again. I did some model comparison and looked at my engine and noticed the shift linkage and throttle linkage are somewhat combined. Would going with the '74 require changing out all the linkage or just the parts specific to the shift? Does anyone know for sure which parts would be...

    Lower Unit Compatability

    Thanks for your reply, I found one from a 70hp with the coarse spline, but he says it's off of a '74. Is it just the spline or will there be other parts that may cause issues?

    Rebuilding '82 Crestliner

    Thank you much for both of your replies. I will have to check with the supplier of the fiberglass panels. When I was there looking at them they had one on a pallet with about 3' over each edge. I stepped on it and it flexed about halfway from the pallet to the ground. It weighs about 3 times...

    Rebuilding '82 Crestliner

    Hello everyone, I have an '82 fiberglass Crestliner that I came across and couldn't pass up. I knew it needed a new floor at minimum and a bit of engine work. I have helped on a couple of boats that needed a new floor so I jumped right in. The old floor came out easy, removed it from the transom...
