    Sorry to post here but there's no answer from the Controls page. I need to replace a shift cable casing on an Evinrude 20. The rear of the casing broke out. I understand the replacement parts; a casing, a ferrule for the cable and 2 set screws to fix the cable to the ferrule. My question is...

    Hi. Long time. Hope you all are well. I need to replace the shift cable casing on an Evinrude 20 hp. The casing eye holding the engine's shift lever broke out the back. New casings come with a ferrule and set screws to secure the new casing to the cable end. How do I remove the original...

    1988 OMC 3.0 Clunking (May be Thunking) at High Speed

    Hi, A friend has asked me about his OMC. It is experiencing what seems to be a random clunking at high speed and it is now creeping in at low speed. He took me for as ride. It is not like an ignition or fuel misfire. The whole boat shakes. You can feel it through the frame. It doesn't...

    1988 OMC 2.3L No Spark On Any Cylinder

    No kidding! I thought the coil just puked energy. The points feedback and release the coil...... I thought the points released to the rotor tip. Thank you, J BTW, with the ignition in the on position, I did measure over 8 volts on each wire feeding the coil.

    Fuel Tank Venting in Stingray I/O

    So, ... I looked sat the cap. It seems solid. I don't see any holes or overlapped covers, check valves, or anything that indicates this cap vents. So, I'm back to the original question, how does a Stingray vent? When the vent tube comes up alongside the fill neck and comes together in the...

    1988 OMC 2.3L No Spark On Any Cylinder

    If I put a lead out of the coil, I get nothing. That is before the distributor. How are the points affecting something upstream? Looks like I don't understand distributors. If this were an outboard, I'd be looking at the switch box. Thanks, J

    1988 OMC 2.3L No Spark On Any Cylinder

    Hi. I've confirmed there is nothing coming out of a new CDI coil. How shall I trouble shoot between the ignition power pack (Oooohh, Shift Assist Module, oooooohhhhh, fancy...) output feeding the coil and the power pack's (Shift Assist Module's) input signals? Thanks, J

    Fuel Tank Venting in Stingray I/O

    Thank you. You always help. I did find it. It is an independent hose about 5/8 diameter which runs parallel with the fill hose. The outlet to the atmosphere is integrated with the fill neck. It is a square opening just before the big drop into the tank. I removed the vent hose from the...

    Fuel Tank Venting in Stingray I/O

    Got a call to help a friend with his Stingray. Not sure what year. It has a Volvo-Penta 3.0 L as the power. He is experiencing fuel splashing back through the filler neck when fueling and random stalling at high speed. The symptoms, to me, indicate a poor fuel tank vent. Can anyone and help me...

    Engine Will Not Turn Over

    Hi. Working on an oil injected Mercury 40 hp. Yeah, one of those... It will not turn over to start. 1 I have 12+ volts feeding the helm ignition switch, but only 3 volts coming out feeding the starter relay when the key is turned to the start position. Thought I had a bad switch so I...

    2010 T60TLR Will Not Start

    I initially found no fuel at engine's connection, which was isolated to a bad primer bulb. The bulb was replaced. It seemed like the engine sucked every last drop of fuel it could throughout the supply line before it died. The fuel level in the water separator can was so low the pick-up was...

    2010 T60TLR Will Not Start

    Serial 6C6 L 1015732. Not getting fuel. If I open the fuel line immediately after the fuel pump and crank the engine, I get nice pulses of fuel. If I open the fuel line at the fuel rail, just prior to the injectors, and crank the engine, I get nothing. No fuel. The vapor separator seems to be...
