I purchased the gasket that goes between the powerhead and the adapter plate, but I can't find a listing for any gasket below the plate. Does anyone know if a gasket should be used between the adapter plate and motor leg? or...

    2p Evinrude ignition

    Hello All, I recently aquired a 2 hp Evinrude model 2602S. It's been sitting in my friends barn for the past 15 years. The spark is very weak if at all. I checked the points and they look pretty good. I suspect the coil is the issue, but I'm not sure how to test it. Any help would be...

    Power trim vent

    Hello All. I replaced the trim motor on my 1992 Evenrude 50 hp this weekend and I'm having trouble refilling and venting the system. I've tried running in the up and down directions with the bypass open, and with it closed. So far the motor will only lift a couple of inches very slowly. Do I...

    Carb issue, I think ??

    Launched my boat with a 1987 Evenrude 48SPL last weekend and am having some troubles. It started right up on the hose at home after being winterized, but once in the water it idled rough and stalled when going in gear. Tonight I checked the Compression 130 on top cyl, 150 on lower. I gave it a...

    8hp basket case

    Hello All, I have 1985 8hp Johnson that was given to me in many pieces. My question is about the needle bearings for the rods and main journal. I have a bag of needles but I'm not sure if they are all the same, or if I have enough. Are the needles for the center main, and the rods the same...

    Transom Drain Tube

    I know that some of you have replaced a drain tube. I'm refering to the brass tube that an expanding drain plug fits in. What is the proper method to seal it in the hole? What tool do you you need to roll a "lip" like the factory job? Thanks

    Painting Fiberglass

    Just picked up a 14' Sears Gamefisher skiff last weekend. I plan to give it to my 13 year old son for crabbing and playing around in this summer, but I would like to give it a paint job before then. My question is how to proceed. I have a compressor, but not a sprayer, so I plant to use a...

    Air in Tilt and Trim

    I have a 1980 115 Johnson, with a 3 wire tilt and trim motor. I replaced the O-ring on the manual trim bypass valve and now the motor will not stay up. The motor raises up fine, but lowers back down in few seconds. I think I must have introduced air in the system, but I'm not sure how to bleed it.

    No Reverse

    My 1989 Johnson 225 has no reverse. It worked fine until last weekend, now nothing. I tried adjusting the shift cable but that had no effect. When I disconnected the shift cable and push the mechanism as far back as it will go it seems like the reverse gears try to engage but not fully. Forward...

    I am having an intermittant problem with my 1990 225 Johnson. It starts and idles fine, but when running at high speed it sometimes falls off plane and starts to "buck". This happens at different frequencies, sometimes I can go for 60 mins with no problem, sometimes only 5-10 minutes. When this...
