    Chunks on Spindle

    Too many years on a farm. Everything is salvageable....lol The first thing I'd do is heat up the race and see if I couldn't drive it off the shaft with a pin punch. Getting the race hot enough is the trick. Acetylene or MAPP gas should get it done. The race is hardened steel. If heat didn't...

    Yamalube marine grease

    The fallacy in this thinking is the realization that "grease" is a generic term for a class of oils formulated to met specific needs and demands. You wouldn't put 10W-40 "oil" in your lower unit.... Proper grease specification requires all of the components of oil selection and more. Other...

    Multifunctional Gauges

    What size plotter are you going to install? Don't look like you have much room to play with. Can't see the space accommodating more than 3 - 4" display. A large percentage of multi-function displays support a full compliment of gauge functionality via NMEA 2000 interface, negating the need for...

    help with running surge brake lines

    The line running between the calipers is split roughly 70/30. How do you connect the line from the actuator (running down the frame) to the split unless you run the line at an angle across the frame, assuming you have enough brake line in the first place

    Bearing Buddys falling off

    As funny as it may sound, check the length of your cotter pins. Make sure you have plenty of room for the bearing buddy to fit inside the housing. Too long and they will walk a bearing out of the housing in a heart beats

    Stator Melt down - 200 Ocean Pro

    Took the cover off to do a visual inspection and dry out a bit of condensation left over from this weekends trip and found this. None of the usual symptoms. Motor ran well during a 35-40 mile run on Saturday. No battery charging issues (~13.8 per gauge) and no issues with the tachometer...

    97 - Ocean Pro 200 - Exhaust Housing leak?

    Getting a lot more water than normal coming from the joint between the exhaust housing and the lower unit this year. Came home yesterday to find staining from the bottom of motor mount cover after a 30+ mile run. Cant swear to it but motor sounds louder as well. I suspect the gasket(s) on the...

    97 - 200 Ocean Pro Exhaust Leak

    Was greeted yesterday by a fairly large puddle of "black goo" on the top of the vent plate. Leaked out of the joint between the mid section and the lower unit. Black goo at the prop isn't abnormal after idling for a while, but the presence of it on the vent plate is of concern. Seems to be more...

    Flo-Torq II to Rubex Hub

    Looking to reduce prop chatter while trolling... I understand the Rubex is "softer" (rubber) than the hard plastic Flo-Torq hub Is there a downside to switching from a Flo-Torq II to a Rubex hub?

    Low speed miss - 200 Ocean Pro

    This is the second season I’ve struggled with a misfire, for lack of a better word, coming off idle. Could be missing at idle but a spark test turns up nothing. Plugs don’t show anything and there is no audible evidence of a miss at idle. It’s only obvious for the first couple of seconds of...

    Genuine Johnson/Evinrude factory-matched spray paint.

    Bought a can of Evinrude OE white paint to touch up my lower unit The paint is labeled - Genuine Johnson/Evinrude factory-matched WHITE engine spray paint. WHITE touch-up paint, 1981-1991 engines. Cant find Evinrude White labeled for later years. I’m assuming they never updated the artwork...

    Enertia Prop Review

    I've run a 14.25 x 17, Evinrude Offshore Renegade (4 blade) prop for 10 seasons now. It ran well, held in the slop and had a pretty good hole shot but my slip was approaching 20% at wide open. Decided to look around to see what advancements in prop technology had been made over the past 10...
