    1995 Evinrude 175hp Water Separator

    I am finally going to install a water separator on my 1995 175hp Evinrude. My question is what fuel flow rate do I need for my motor? I see most separators come in 30, 60 and 90 gph. Is it worth getting one with a clear bowl on the bottom? Also what is a good brand to get. I read where the...

    Kicks Up In Revers

    I have a 1995 175hp Evinrude that when I put it in reverse the motor wants to kick up. It started when I had a bad battery and tried to lower my motor. When lowering it will bounce up and down as it got lower. I can even grab the lower unit and raise it about 4 inches. Need some ideas where to...

    I pulled my hubs and bearings in order to replace my axle. I just replaced my bearings two years ago so I don?t need to change them. The guy at the trailer shop said to make sure I put the exact bearing back where it came off. Does anyone know if this is true? I have no idea which bearing...

    I have a 1995 21? Kingfisher center console with a galvanized tandem axle trailer. This past weekend I pulled the boat out to do the monthly engine run and noticed that on the front axle one of the tires is bowed in at the top. I can only assume that the axle is about to break. So never had...

    2005 25hp Yamaha

    After trying to start the motor with no luck I pulled off the top carb (due to motor sitting for 3 months). Pulled the bowl off and just by the eye could not see that the float was stuck. But did fell what I can only describe to be really fine sand in the bottom of the bowl. Not much at all just...

    Motorguide Great White Noise

    I have an old Great White 55# 24V trolling motor that started making a scratching noise the other day. Kinda sounds like the barrings are gone or the prop shaft is bent. When I try to turn the prop by hand it is pretty hard to turn. Took the prop off and it was still hard to turn by hand. The...

    Confused About Bogging Down Motor??

    I have an 1995 Evinrude 175HP motor that was bogging down on take off. But pushing in on the key would keep it from dying. So I cleaned my carbs and put in new carb kits. But that still didn't fix the problem. So I took it to an individual boat mechanic to see what the problem was. After...

    I have a little 14' jon boat that I am having to replace the transom in (too much flex with a 25hp motor). The plywood that I took out is 1 1/4" plus it is rotten in some places. I was going to glue two 5/8" pieces of BC or AC plywood. Then paint with oil based enamel. Is there any special...

    Pulse Limiter?

    On a 1995 Evinrude 175hp motor is the blue pulse limiter really a check valve? Are you supposed to be able to blow air through it one way and not the other? Because mine I can blow air both ways. Just wondering if it is bad or not. Thanks, Robert

    1995 Evinrude Vapor Separator?

    Could some one explain how the vapor separator works on a 175hp Evinrude. I know it allows vapors to escape to the breather. But does the float and needle let gas or air pressure to the pressure switch? Also how would you be able to tell if the needle and seat are bad? I am still trying to...
