    Looking for Tips to Change Out a Steering Cable

    This is on a 1977 Larson Manta 175 and probably the original single cable steering - not attached to a motor right now. The motor end where it goes through the motor tube got bent about 30 degrees and I don't think doing a "straightening job" will work. Does the cable detach nicely at the...

    Assembling - Prop Back into Gear Housing

    Working on a 1970 Evinrude Starflite model 115083D & following a manual. Are there any tips on how best to put the prop housing back into the gear case. It seems to just go on with friction - no bolts, no seals, etc. so it must be a very tight fit.

    Bearing Question - 1970 'Rude Model 115083D

    The manual shows a bearing just above or pressed into the pinion gear at the bottom of the vertical drive shaft.. Is this referred to as the "lower bearing"? Is it supposed to be pressed into the pinion gear or ride above it. The motor is a Starflite button shift and I'm wondering if this...

    Evinrude/1970/Model 115083D

    I'm working on the leg and it had been removed from the engine before I got it. Everything is supposed to be here except that the bearing about half way up on the vertical shaft shaft is toast. I can see how the bearing rides on the shaft but not at all sure of how things go together above the...

    It is a model 115083D. There is a "horn" coming out from the center/front of the housing with one hole. Looks like this is for a cable steering setup. How big a problem is it to convert this to the one cable steering system. I have the wheel and cable in the boat but there is no "tube" to...

    Info on Glasspar LARC19681077V111

    I just picked up a 17' open bow tri-hull boat with the above info on the hull. It would have been a real show piece when new - boat is yellow with yellow interior (very nicely done). Wood/stainless steering wheel. A yellow molded fiberglass cover for the open bow area - two latches on the front...

    15 HP Rude. Warm up lever won't engage camfollower

    The throttle/shift levers seem to be set right; however when the warm up lever is engaged, it gets "stuck" on the flywheel mechanism before it engages the cam follower. Is it possible to jury-rig a manual push/pull lever to get around this.

    Having problems setting the throttle control via the control box cable. With warm up lever full forward, the motor will start but after a 2-3 minute warm-up and the lever pulled back to about half way - the motor dies (not getting gas). The following cam ceases engaging the throttle control...
