    Black on SS Prop

    I have a SS Shooter prop on my 94 Vindicator, and after a decarb last week I noticed it was black around the outside of the prop after the process was done. Does this mean I have an exhaust leak somewhere around the prop shaft? It's black on the inside, and has some black around the outside...

    Spark Plug Issue

    I changed my plugs yesterday, and I noticed that the old plugs were gaped at .060, but the specs say .030. Also the plugs had a lot of oil on them, and I could see traces of black fouling around the outside rim. I replaced them with the same plugs with a .030 gap. After talking to a buddy...

    Which 2 cycle oil to use?

    I've run across several discussions on this and other boards about 2 cycle use. I'm accustomed to using the basic 'Mercury Premium 2 Cycle' oil in my '94 Vindicator 200hp. Although, I have read and seen other 2 stroke outboard users using xd-30 or even xd-50 oil in their set-up. Can I use...

    1995 Skeeter 200SL Fuel Gauge Error

    My fuel gauge is quirky on my Skeeter. I noticed today after I filled her up that the gauge read full for about an hour or so. Then, when I pulled out of the water and looked at the tank it was 3/4 of the way full, but my gauge was reading 1/2 a tank. I was thinking I was using way too much...

    1995 Vindicator ... New Question!

    I just got off of the phone with the previous owner of my 1995 Skeeter with a 1995 200 Vindicator on it, and I was explaining my problem to him of the warning horn sounding constantly when I start the engine. The manual says this is an indicator of overheating, but my water flow is good, and...

    '95 Evinrude Vindicator 200hp Issues

    I just bought a '95 Skeeter not even a month ago, and everything on the boat checked out when they inspected and tested it at the dealer. Compression in all chambers was at or above 100, no carbon deposits in the cylinders, and the water and oil pumps worked good. I took the boat out on the...
