    1977 65 hp tilt

    Having a hard time deciding where exactly to post this question. I have a 1984 15' Bayliner with a mismatched 1977 Chrysler 65 hp outboard that I would like to put a tilt assembly on. Currently I lift it by hand and it's a bugger to pull up all the time. I was told that the older Force trim/tilt...

    Chrysler prop question

    A semi complicated question, at least to me. I installed a Chrysler outboard on my '84 1600 Bayliner cuddy. It had no motor when I got it. I had a motor which was a 1977 Chrysler 65hp magnapower II. The motor has had a powerhead change to a 55hp Magnapower II. So it is essentially a 55hp mated...

    Chrysler ignition switch wiring

    Just bought a 1977 Chrysler 55hp Magnapower II and I apparently need to replace the ignition switch that came with it. There is no key, it won't shut the motor off after it's started either and unless it's turned off after starting only 1 cylinder fires. I didn't wire it, it's the way it came so...

    Need help wiring a 1976 Chrysler 55hp

    I have a 1976 55hp Chrysler that I want to start off the boat and with no ignition switch or controls hooked up. The starter cables are attached and it turns over. I need to hook up the battery to the terminal block and probably jump a couple terminals to start it. Any idea on how to do this...

    Chrysler 55 hp steering with Force cable

    I had this 55 hp Chrysler, 1976 motor which is a great runner. I bought an '84 Bayliner 1600 with no motor or controls. The steering cable is there though. So I put the 55 on the boat but there's no steering cable tube on the pivot point. How were these motors connected to the steering? Any...

    Broken transom screw on 1917 Evinrude

    The brass transom screw was frozen in the clamp and it ended up breaking off when I put a wrench to it. When I tried to get the ball end out the ball broke off. Had to drill it out and use an easy out. Anyway, rather than search for an original screw I bought a 4-inch long 5/8" brass rod...

    A rare one - 1917 Evinrude model AA 4-stroke

    Did a couple hours work on a friends outboard and got several old outboards in exchange. One looked like a pile of crap but beneath the crap lied a 1917 Evinrude model AA 4-stroke 2 cylinder. A fairly rare motor made for 2 years and considered a boat anchor by those that had them. It was only...

    Lets talk carburetors, 1939 Waterwitch poppet style carb

    1939 Kissel Waterwitch 3/4 hp model 571.32. Who makes this carburetor? There is no name or info anywhere on it other than ALCOA which is probably the company that made the aluminum body. It is a poppet style carb. I took it apart awhile ago and now I have 2 springs, a large and a small and I...

    My 1915 Evinrude is finally done being restored.

    A true labor of love. It's my oldest motor and was such fun to restore. Completely disassembled, cylinder honed, everything polished plus a lot of detail work. Had to cut a hole in the gas tank to straighten it out from the inside then welded the cut out piece back in. Had to hand make the...

    1915 Evinrude with drip oiler

    Did these ever come with bearing drip oilers? Was it an option or aftermarket maybe? My 1915 that I'm restoring has one on the top crank bearing. I have seen one other 1915 with the same oiler but most have the grease cup. I want to keep it as original as I can but have to admit I like the...

    Antique outboards with left and right hand prop rotation

    Not sure if this should go under props or engines so I'll start here. I am restoring a 1915 Evinrude Model A and my prop was bent. I also have a 1917 Evinrude Model AA, the boat anchor twin, so I thought I would use the prop off it since it's near perfect. After removing it I see one is left...

    1915 Evinrude questions

    Can someone explain what the brass ring located on the shaft above the lower unit does? I was assuming it has something to do with the ability or the lower unit to spin around into reverse. Also the carburetor adjustment screw on the top of the bowl, is it original? I saw another one and it was...

    1938 Neptune 1A39 1.2HP

    Recently bought a Neptune motor that I plan on restoring. Having no luck finding a manual or other engine references. I was told it was a 1938 but the data plate seems to say 1A39. Does this mean it's a '39? I am trying to find out the original color, engine specs etc. Hopefully the data plate...
