    Wheel bearings full of water

    Personally I do not think bearing buddies are worth the money. They really only lube the closest bearing and do nothing for the other one. So not worth the time or money. Make sure you are getting the right seals. Are you packing the bearings? Are you filling the cavity between them? Best way to...

    Crack in Hull

    I will bet that costs more to fix than the boat itself is worth even if you do it. You are only seeing the crack gaurantee it is 100x worse once you get in there. Pull the drive and engine sell them scrap the hull buy a different boat.

    Need prop for low speed manoeuvres

    This is a case where you need to learn how to drive your boat at low speeds. A little bit of practise goes a long way there is no magic prop for that.

    Get a good rebuild kit for that carb. Should include fuel pump and primer assemblies.

    1993 70hp stumped!

    That makes sense you have an 1986 block because those compression #s would be high for a 93 block. Somebody replaced the block at one time or another no big deal. The carbs and ignition will work fine on it. Those motors were not the smoothest idling motors so dont expect a lot..

    2005 140 hp VRO failure & fix

    You can buy rebuild kits for them. Make sure you follow the procedure for bleeding the new pump. And is a good time to change the filter in the oil tank and clean it.

    1990 Evinrude 9.9HP Powerpack

    Didnt realize I had to point out the cdi sits on top of the block under the flywheel in the heat. I thought that would be obvious. If it was a good ignition it would have been around for more than 4 yrs.

    1990 Evinrude 9.9HP Powerpack

    Buy the conversion kit that gets the cdi out from under the flywheel. That was not a great set up had a high failure rate.

    Wrong impellar?

    Look at the spark plugs if any are shiny clean that is a good sign of water intrusion. Those motors are known for the exhaust gaskets leaking.

    1986 Mercury 9.9 - Increase power/Re-prop

    Putting a 15 hp carb on that motor will do you no good whatsoever. Your motor is to early for that the power you have is all you are ever gonna have. Is it running on both cylinders? Have you checked compression? changed water pump? If the motor sat was it stored properly? Maybe needs a carb...

    1957 evinrude fastwin 18hp ventilation problems.

    It is an easy conversion may even find the parts on ebay. I think the parts from around 58-72 work.

    1957 evinrude fastwin 18hp ventilation problems.

    Ypu measure from the inside top edge of the hook on the transom clamp to the cavitation plate above the prop. That is where your measurement is. If it was a 20" shaft there would be an extension housing on it.
