    2 Stroke Oldie Evinrude.-

    Pic 20 is a casting number for that particular part, not the whole motor. Pic 24 indeed shows the model and serial numbers. Unfortunately, I can only make out a few letters. (great picture by the way) It's soft metal and it looks like some of the letters were sanded away. Regardless, if you...

    Tohatsu 25hp vs 30hp? Repower

    IMHO, displacement is the key. These 2 motors have the same block. The specs show that the 30 is getting 5 more HP due to the increased RPM. BTDT. In the past my experience is that going to higher RPMs with the same motor provided an insignificant improvement. If the cost differential is...

    Tee Nee trailer

    The classic TeeNees were yellow, as yours. Around 1970 they were silver. So, your in the 50's - 60's year range. When they went out of business, unlike some other classic companies, they apparently got rid of all their records. They are hard to research now. EDIT - some more googling and I...

    2 Stroke Oldie Evinrude.-

    No, its not off topic, its 100% ON topic. You TALKED about parts and an owners manual. Knowing the exact year and model will give you that access. The paint reference was to show you HOW to get the info. Someone painted over the numbers. They are right in front of your face. If I had the...

    2 Stroke Oldie Evinrude.-

    I'm guessing its an Evinrude Mate. It obvious that it has been painted. On the port side of the mounting bracket, just aft of the pivot point is where the ID plate should be. Its about 3/4" tall by 2 1/2" long. I can't tell if the plate is there or not. Carefully remove some paint. The...

    Manuals are readily available going back many years. What is the make and model?

    Fuel Sending Unit Question

    I bought it on EBay since IBoats didn't carry it. Moeller markets them. Brass 3 or 4-way valve. You'll plug the ports you don't need. Fittings over the counter at Home Depot. Buy bulk hose to match what you have. You can mount it sideways on the combing just above the tank

    Fuel Sending Unit Question

    Well that's a whole nuther story. I have 2 tanks just like that in my Whaler, and the storage positions look about the same. My straps have a simple hook, so connecting and disconnecting is a breeze. I have both tanks permanently connected and switch with a simple marine 4 position switch...

    As a total aside to this thread, how do you get such good pictures? Type of camera? MP size? Settings? Lighting?

    1989 Chrysler Conqueror

    It hasn't been used for more than 10 years. Not a very popular boat even when new. At that age chances are it has rotten innards, in which case $2K is too high. It needs a complete inspection.

    Fuel Sending Unit Question

    Your port hole idea sounds like the best plan.

    Fuel Sending Unit Question

    The beauty of a portable tank is that you can remove it and drain it for Winter storage, plus its much easier to refill because you don't have to take the whole boat to the gas station. Adding a fuel sending unit will encumber the tank's utility. I believe that sending units are available, but...

    Cup holders?

    In days of old when cup holders were an oddity on anything but a cruiser, I bought 2 of these and a bunch of extra plastic mounts. They mounted vertically with 2 screws and could be put anywhere. When I changed seats I just took the cup holder along with the can. I'm surprised they still make...

    Transom height advice

    Put it all the way down. Then check your speed, fuel usage and WOT RPM. Look for cavitation on tight turns, or any other squirrely performance. Raise the motor up 1/2" and repeat. Continue incrementally until you reach a point that you don't like the performance. And then drop it one notch...

    Transom height advice

    Its a trial and error procedure. Every boat I ever owned had a different requirement.

    Considering upgrading this season - prop exchange programs

    Based on the data I had, and a lot of internet research, I took a guess at what pitch I needed. No local dealers had an exchange program, so I just took the lowest internet price for the part number I wanted. My rpms with the Black Max was right at the max, I figured the Enertia would reduce...

    2 Stroke Oldie Evinrude.-

    Two of my motors are stuck and I have not been able to loosen them. Both were obtained free. One more was a saltwater motor and although its not stuck, too much corrosion to bother with it. I paid $5 for it. Five more are in various stages of a problem and don't run. The other 61 motors all...

    True. But they can be valuable as well. If your Man Cave doesn't have a motor hanging on the wall, you're not a real boater.
