    Bilge pump question

    I'm installing a second bilge pump on my 22' deck boat. The one thats on it is wired to a switch and doesn't have a float. Installing a float would also require a 3 way switch which wouldn't match the rest of the switches on the dash, so I figured it was easier to install a second fulley...

    Lower Unit Leaking

    Last season, my 1974 Evinrude 115 had milky oil in the lower unit near the end of the season. I changed the oil, but it became milky again after 5 or so hours of use. Since I couldn't find a reciept from the previous owner having it resealed, I figured it was due. I also removed the prop (to...

    4 little studs with new manifolds

    I have a 1997 Harris Kayot Ultra Deck with a 1996(i believe) Mercrusier 5.7LX engine and Alpha 1 gen 2 outdrive. The boat is new to me and unfortunately, the inspection I paid to have done didn't pick up the clogged starboard riser & manifold. Anyway, I removed both risers and manifolds and...

    Fogging Question

    I removed the lower unit of my 1974 Evinrude 115 to have the prop shaft seal replaced while I replaced the floor in my old Deck boat. I'm almost done the floor, but guy doing the lower unit hasn't finished it yet. I don' think I'll use the boat anymore this year, so I was planning on buttoning...

    Charging Problem with 1974 115hp

    I recently bought a deck boat with a 1974 Evinrude Starflite 115 hp outboard. I have two questions about the motor<br /><br />1. The third time I used it, I got water in the gas (I could tell by draining the carbs). I subsequently fouled the plugs trying to start it. The following weekend, I...
