    1979 Evinrude 70973R 70 hp Outboard

    Agreed a good solid chunk of hard wood and a big hammer. You should be able to find a used head with a little searching. Keep at it man. Best

    Do you have a built in tank? If so maybe try running with a remote tank after checking everything else mentioned.

    Problems with oversized boat motor

    Oh the stupid stuff days. My memory is flying along at 106 mph on a pice of cardboard with twin 235 on it. It’s was actually a 21 foot sonic but it felt like a pice of cardboard. We won the amateur Grand Prix that summer. Good times

    Do a compression test if you can. Look for signs of an over heat and neglect and check the gear case oil.

    What kind of boat is this with evinrude motor

    Just watched the vid and that would be a Dory. I live on Martha’s Vineyard so these lyrics really hit home. Great Song.

    What kind of boat is this with evinrude motor

    I haven’t seen the vid but will look for it. What you describe certainly sounds like a mullet boat. I grew up with them down in Fl. The nets are run off the stern so the motor is up front. The closest thing I have seen up north here is the Simmons skiff which were originally from the...

    Airbrushing graphics?

    Gelcoat can come with or with out wax in the formula. To play it safe I would wet sand the area with 600 paper first and wipe it down with acetone. Do your paint job and clear coat over it. Best

    Got electrocuted when touching cylinder?

    Try running the motor at night and see if you can see any arching from the plug wires. I used to have a lawn mower that you had to ground the plug to shut it down. Sometime the ground strap wouldn’t make a good contact and you had to push it a bit further. It was always a dance to see which one...

    Need fuel lines checked

    I want to say 7/64 ID for the primer lines. If you broke the brass nipple you will likely need to remove the intake and punch it out from the backside.

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    I’m just curious if the flywheel nut is in place. It may just be because it’s running I can’t see it but it just looks like there is a lot of thread there.
