    1999 Evinrude E115FPLEEN 115 Hp Fuel Line ?

    What size fuel line should this engine have attached to it? It currently has a 5/16" which seems kind of tight on the fuel inlet on the motor... Wouls this be too restrictive? Also, this engine was run dry of fuel. Do I need to flush the lines because the oil was still pumping without any fuel?

    I have a 1999 Evinrude 115 hp outboard that had a "kicking out" starter issue that this board helped me fix a couple of days ago...

    Does anyone know if a 1993 OMC Cobra transom mount is interchangeable with a 1991 OMC Cobra transom mount? I looked the parts up on dougrussell.com and they have the same part number but are N/A. I am going to replace my transom mount due to some heavy corrosion and just want to make sure... The...

    I have a 1993 Chris Craft Concept 217 BR with a 5.0 L EFI (Ford) OMC Cobra. We were out yesterday and the temp gauge started rising right after we pulled away from the dock. I was kind of going very slow because my wife was eating something and telling me not to go too fast... I trimmed the...
