    Here you go...some pictures of my fleetwin and fisherman...and a question

    So, here is a couple of pics of my set up. I found that I can get it to run at high rpm in idle but once in gear it bogs down - could this actually be because I have it set up in a static situation on the end of the dock? I have just noticed I cant turn the darn thing - locked solid in one...

    Replacing seal in lower unit Fleetwin/fisherman

    I have my 7.5 fleetwin apart at the moment - replacing the impeller and need a new spring and seal for the top section where the drive shaft goes into the power head. I notice the lower seal seems loose - the drive shaft is not snug in there - I think as I have it apart I should change the seal...

    Evinrude fisherman 6hp running. Now question about Fleetwin

    A word of thanks to those who gave advice information regarding the 6hp Evinrude fisherman I was working on. I eventually got a new impeller from NAPA and just cleaned up all the other parts really well. I bought a new 1 inch roll pin for the top of the drive shaft and cut it down to 3/4...

    When to replace impeller?

    i have the impeller unit all apart on my 6hp fisherman - on looking at the impeller it actually seems to be in good shape - it has some flexibility, none of the 'wings' are broken - how bad do they have to be before they need replacing? Also the stainless steel plate is ok but just needs a good...

    Bottom unit off!!! 6 hp fisherman

    Well, I eventually got the very bottom part of the lower unit off to get to the impeller - it was just gummed up inside there and did not want to move. Now I have the job of getting the screws off the top of the impeller housing - one moved but the others are rock solid. What do you use to...

    OK to drill through bottom plate on Evinrude

    Well, those stubs of bolts in the bottom of the lower unit are refusing to budge. I would like to get a drill in there and drill out the first bit of the bolt and see if that allows the bottom part to come off (or at least drop down enough so I can remove internal bolt to completely take off)...

    @#**!!! Sheared off bolts - now what.

    :mad: Just been one of those days. I have a 6hp Evinrude Fisherman 1968 rescued from barn. It runs but after running it for about 10 mins or so on pond it seemed to be running extremely hot. This was used in seawater previously. I am thinking the impeller/water pump is not working - so...
