    18’ nitro 150 blackmax rooster tail or no rooster tail?!?

    When the engine is mounted Higher on the Transom, or is on a Jack Plate, and the Prop is not fully submerged, the blades will throw water up and create a Rooster Tail, even when not over trimmed, but odds are they are going quite a bit faster than what you can attain "Most of the fellas around...

    Help in IDing Serial Number on E110TLCE Evinrude

    The 'M' is surrounded by a squarish 'O', a reference to, Outboard Marine. As far as I know, Replacement Engines usually came without a Disc in that location. As you state, it is often easy to tell if a powerhead has been replaced, by the color of the paint, and paint being missing from bolts and...

    Fitting my Bunks to my boat

    That trailer is specific to the a particular Hull, so the Angle, and location of the bunks might not be correct for your Hull. That said, you have an I/O and most of the weight will be on the Center Bunks and if you can get the Boat on far enough so those Bunks are at the end of the Hull where...

    1993 javelin fish and ski prop issue

    What engine is it? What condition is the engine in? Compression Test? Ignition needs to be able to produce a Spark good enough to jump a 3/8" gap. Are all the carbs getting Fuel? Are all the carbs functioning? How long have you owned this boat-motor?

    18’ nitro 150 blackmax rooster tail or no rooster tail?!?

    You can get a Rooster Tail by over trimming, but you can starve the engine of Cooling Water. Shortly after these were taken, the Water Jacket Cover started leaking water around the Spark Plugs, Warpage was the reason

    No spark after spark plug wires wrongly placed… mercruiser 3.0

    Something is preventing the Ignition System from producing sparks, or sending the sparks to the plugs. Remove the High Tension wire coming from the Coil to the distributor, and check for spark. It needs to be good enough to jump a 3/8" gap. If it does, make sure all the Wires are secure in the...

    No spark after spark plug wires wrongly placed… mercruiser 3.0

    It sparked again, then you say it doesn't. Gets confusing What else did you do to any of the wires to the Distributor?

    1991 5.7 350v8 no acceleration after 2000 rpm - bogging out

    New manual fuel pump? Old gas can clog and gum up filters and carbs. Other things... Choke might not be fully open, which will prevent the Secondaries functioning on a Q-jet, as can incorrect assembly of the linkage involves during a rebuild. Secondairy Air Valve can get gummed up and stuck and...

    1984 Evinrude 25hp mounting

    Keep in mind, that your boat has pronounced Keel, and even though it does end a bit in front of the transom, there can still be turbulent water behind it. You might have to drop down a bit. One other caution, you might find the engine inside the boat with you, with that method of securing it it

    Bow rising and taking a long time to come on plane

    Maybe, decent pics that show the engine's height in relation to the hull, and what the Bracket looks like, will certainly provide more info. Camera has to be shooting level, as in not tilted up or down, and that will require it to be at the Height of the Bottom of the boat. Pics from the Side...

    Mercury 90 running super rough, fuel coming out from throats of carbs.

    It won't be inexpensive, just getting the carbs off, is a pain. Factor in the time to disassemble, clean, reassemble, reinstall, and doing the Link and Sync, adds up in time, and therefore Dollars. Hopefully the guy you're taking it has the proper info for setting the carbs and the L&S
