    Operators manual for 1957 Evinrude fastwin 18 hp model 15020?

    There is the Seloc Johnson/Evinrude Certified textbook for Engines from 1.5 thru 40 hp from 1956 to 1970. In spite of the bad rap that most non factory manuals usually get , this one is very precise and user friendly. I have used it for many years and it gives me everything I need for these...

    Adding a starter to a 1963 Evinrude 28302A 28 hp

    The things that racerone did not mention is that you may have to change the flywheel to one that has sprockets. you should also realize that these old old outboards do not have a charging system so you will have to add a battery and wiring and a starter button on your dash.On my '57 there is...

    skeg damage ...home repair

    There are skegs on the market that fit right over a damaged one. Just google "replacement skeg". Slide it on, tap it up a bit with a hammer, drill a few holes to screw it on and tighten it down and you have a nice shiny new skeg

    Winterize evinrude 50

    Why not take it off the boat and store it in your garage for the winter? Those engines are not very heavy. Do change or at least check the lower unit oil for water because if it freezes inside your lower unit it will crack your lower unit

    Tohatsu wiring and trollmasterpro 3

    I installed a little remote control servo ( trollmaster pro 3) on my 2020 9.9 tohatsu and it works well, but not great.The troll master unit has a wire that is to be connected to a switched positive wire so there is no battery drainage when when the little engine is shut off. It makes no sense...

    1962 Evinrude 18hp Compatibility with 1969 Evinrude 18hp

    That would probably be a waste of time , because very often with different year models, different numbers were given to the very same parts from previous years

    Best fuel stabilizer for older 2 strokes

    The truth is that alcohol usually is mixed in while the tanker truck is filled up and it is really anybodies guess how much the percentage really is. At least on the fuel pumps in New York state is says that the alcohol content is between 10 and 15 percent. Since alcohol burns hotter than...

    Best fuel stabilizer for older 2 strokes

    You have a small engine with probably a small tank. The best thing to do is empty the tank out and put that fuel say 2 gallons at a time in your car. A bit of oil is not going to hurt your car any. Before you winterize your engine run it with a generous of injector cleaner mixed into your fuel...

    1965 Johnson 9.5 steam or smoke?

    You would not clean out whatever is past the thermostat. But you can can remove the thermostat and run it. If the temperature goes down you should be alright. Before you dig into the engine and thermostat I would suggest you take a thermometer ( grab one from the kitchen) and measure the...

    removing lower unit from Evinrude 1958 35Hp.25034 long shaft

    There should be a connector between the two parts of the shift shaft in that hatch. By shifting into backward and forward you can see it move. This connector has two bolts. you should take at least one out or loosen it all the way. Give it a good squirt of wd40 or something similar and let that...

    1965 Johnson 9.5 steam or smoke?

    The next thing, after the thermostat, would be back flushing the cooling system. there might be a clogged passage. I love to do that by taking the cylinder head off, which is a very simple thing to do. But it can become a mayor pain in the neck if you accidentally break a bolt. I never force too...

    Trailer needs new axle. Need ideas.

    I had a similar problem a few years ago. In my case it was a 1984 trailer in need of tlc. I googled "trailer axles for sale" Out of the many possibilities I picked the one that told exactly what to measure and came with a phone number with the advice to call in order to prevent misunderstanding...

    1965 Johnson 9.5 steam or smoke?

    Sometimes when the impeller is changed, the pipes that go from the pump to the engine block are not put together the proper way. You say that it pumps great ,but you have steam coming out of the pee hole. That to me points at the tubing not properly in place. I would check the pump again . Maybe...

    Rebuilt Carburetor… Still No Idle!

    If it takes half a minute for the engine to die, then your problem is not the carb,but the fuel supply to the carb. This can be because of a small leak in the fuel hose or the connector, causing the pump to suck air. It may be a clogged fuel filter in your tank. Do check the filter on the fuel...

    replacing cabin starboard window on a 1989 starcraft islander

    If you did this, did you use 3/16 or 1/4 inch thickness ? Did you find the correct rubber to put around the window or did you have to use a generic material? Thank you for your help.
