    1984 Evinrude 25hp mounting

    I once made an adjustable bracket to solve this problem. Unfortunately I sold the boat and don’t have any pics but it was made from 3/8’s aluminum angle. It raised the motor 5” and held it off the transom 4”. Worked great. At the end of the day it still cost me over $100 to make it with all...

    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    It depends on what your view of minor is. Anything that has damaged the ring groves is going to be a problem in my eyes. For me if I were going this far I would go all the way and replace the piston's and not have to wonder if I did the right thing. There are rebuild kits out there that will...

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    Just wondering if this just started or if its been going on for awhile? May want to check your tank for water as well. A tiny amount of water in the bowels will can cause a bit of a shutter. It’s a long shot but worth looking at in my eyes. And just for kicks how does your prop look? Any...

    Engine Overheated on Evinrude

    If the two @90 are in the same side you may have blown the head gasket or warped the head. I would pull the head and see what you find.

    1986 20hp Johnson long shaft low compression

    The risk of major is high if you do it. I did it ion a motor I didn’t really care about and it’s still running today but it was pure luck in my eyes. If you truly want to save the motor than as suggested pull the head and see what you got and decide from there where you want to go. Best

    1986 20hp Johnson long shaft low compression

    I would try a different gauge just for kicks. If still the same further inspection would be wise.

    You could check the wire in question for continuity to see if it is in fact broken or grounded.

    Best solvent to soak parts

    There is no miracle solvent that I know of. A little wire brush on a dremel tool would work great.

    Ordering Parts in Canada

    There are some pretty fancy electric boats out there if you have a fat wallet. The Italian engineering is unbelievable. I live in an area where there are several ponds that don’t allow 2 strokes and only under 10hp 4 strokes. The electric outboard market is changing that but they due cost a...

    1975 Johnson 9.9

    Is there any old dried up grease preventing it from moving freely? If so a tear down and cleaning might do the trick. Or you could try a new nylon lock nut that won’t back off easily. Best

    Starter not engaging

    Was it the same before and after the new starter? It’s a long shot but check your battery voltage. You have just enough to spin the starter but not enough to engage the bendix.

    1976 70hp flywheel rub on cowl

    When I find them failing I remove it all and replace it with automotive sound proofing mat. It’s self adhesive and works great. Can you see where it’s been rubbing?

    Converted 15 Hp 1990 Evinrude

    Raceorne has the best idea yet. I know a lot of people that did this back in the day and the gains were not that much. I always called it the placebo affect.
