    Nissan 5HP question

    I just got a Nissan 4 stroke 5 HP outboard on Craigslist, and have a question---What year is this motor? The model # is NSF5A2 and then it shows 3H6-1. It starts right up, and idles nicely. Looks like it had very little use. I want to change the plug, lower unit oil, and the crankcase oil...

    Honda 2hp

    This motor starts and idles perfectly, but when I accelerate to full throttle, it bogs down, and can't reach full speed. Sounds like it's choking. What to try?

    Registration Question?

    I'm sure someone here knows the answer to this: I want to buy a used boat for my son and grandson to use. The one I was looking at is a 12' jon boat that was only used as a rowboat and never registered. If I get this boat, and then want to add an outboard, will I be able to get it registered...

    Magic Tilt Trailers?

    I am considering a used Magic Tilt trailer. This one is a 2014. Anything particular I should be concerned about with Magic Tilt? I'm seeing lots of complaints about this company. Or should I go with Continental?

    New Bimini top on Ebay REALLY cheap????

    There is a guy on Ebay selling brand new Bimini tops for $116 with free shipping. The company name is Northeast Harbor. I really want to get one for my small v-hull, and the price is crazy cheap. So, what do you all think? A waste of $, you get what you pay for, etc? Just go to Ebay, and do a...

    Replacing thermostat 15 HP

    1996 15 HP Evinrude CE15REDG. I want to replace the thermostat. Nothing wrong, yet, but it looks like it was never done before. (New to me motor.) I can't find this exact model listed anywhere. What is the part or parts #, or can I get a kit, that includes everything necessary for this outboard?

    1996 Evinrude 15 idle adjustment

    Need some help. I have an Evinrude CE15REDG. I got it from Craigslist. It runs fine, but there is no idle control on the steering handle. The plastic idle cover part is there, but not the mechanism inside it. I got it that way. So, I ordered the part from ********** ($18.) + shipping. Now, how...

    1996 Evinrude 15 HP 2 Stroke lower unit oil change

    The dealers around here want $15-$20 for a quart of lower unit gear oil. Walmart gets $10. Is this okay to use, to save some $, or any better off getting genuine OMC?

    Steering Tension Adjustment Screw Broke Off

    15HP Evinrude 1996 2 cycle. The adjustment screw has been frozen and stuck tight for a long time, before I acquired this outboard. I tried to loosen it with oil, but no luck, and it broke off. Now, what to do, to get the remaining part of the adjustment screw out of the upper midsection, so I...

    Correct Spark Plug #

    I recently got a 1996 Evinrude 15, model CE 15 REDG. I got a factory manual off Ebay, and the factory manual lists the correct spark plug as Champion QL82C. Is that still being made, or has that been replaced with something else? I am going to attempt to do as much maintenance as possible by...

    Evinrude Lower Unit Maintenance Question

    I recently got both a 1993 Evinrude 4 hp, and a 1996 Evinrude 15 hp outboards. Both 2 cycle. I want to change the lower unit fluid on both, and there is a pump by Seasense # 50091461. Is this the right pump for my Evinrudes? I mean, does the pump actually screw into the lower hole? And the lower...

    Evinrude maintenance manual?

    Anyone ever download the free Evinrude manual from Marksweb? I am somewhat leery to download from a site I never heard of. It looks like all their stuff is downloadable for free.

    1996 Evinrude 15 idle problem

    I just got a 1996 Evinrude 15 from Craigslist. Model CE 15REDG. It's in mostly good condition, but the idle adjustment knob on the throttle handle does not function. Turning the adjustment knob doesn't do anything. I'm assuming that that's the bad part. It screws off, but I don't see anything...

    1993 Evinrude 4HP oil mix

    I have an Evinrude E4RDHETB. I am being told the oil mix is 100:1. I thought 50:1 was the correct mix. Which is right? I didn't get the owners manual with this outboard.

    I just got a used outboard. Probably simple answer here.

    I just bought a used 1993 4 hp Evinrude outboard. Really nice shape, and starts right up. I also have a 15hp Johnson, and the Johnson has a 'kill' button, to shut the engine down, but the Evinrude has no such button. I have been pulling the choke to stop the engine. Am I missing something here...
