    High thrust prop 1970 6hp Fisherman?

    I am using a model 6002 6hp evinrude with a long shaft kit, as a kicker on my 1977 Boston Whaler Newport. It works fairly well, but I would like to find out if a flatter/bigger prop might work better. The prop is two bladed marked 8x7 1/4. This motor will just push a 12ft aluminium john boat up...

    How to swap drive shaft, 'rude 6HP 1970

    1985 115HP miss at idle

    I finally got my 115ETLK Yamaha V4 reassembled and started last weekend. With the advice and reassurance of rodbolt and Ray and the gold mine of information available here the overhaul was not hard, only time consuming. I started it on the muffs. It took several 10 second cranking sessions...

    The Seloc manual describes a special tool (P/N YB6096) to remove and another (P/N YB6198) to reinstall the lower oil seals on my '85 115HP two stroke. Can I safely tap the seals out with a dowel rod or ? and reinstall them with the back of appropriately sized socket or do I really need those...

    Yamaha 115ETLK (1985 V4) rebuild questions

    Questions: There is a check valve under the main crank bearing housing in the block. It looks like a brass, 4 finger retainer and a "bisket" of some kind. Should this come out before I send it to the machinist? If so, how do I get it out. I could pry at it with a knife point or a little...

    Evinrude 6hp Fisherman 1970 Cooling system questions

    Is this motor supposed to have a pee hole? What temp should the thermostat open? When started in the tank water starts spraying from the ~1/2in hole a few inches above the cavitation plate after about 15 seconds of running. Over the next 30 or so seconds the spray gets stronger. This is...

    Yamaha 115 ETLK head gasket?

    I started the outboard for the first time this AM. I had it on the muffs, running 50:1 premix and sea foam(until I can go through the oiling sysem) with the sub (inboard) oil tank disconnected as it has a epoxy/glass patch setting up right now. I had sprayed the sparkplug holes with sea foam...

    Yamaha 115ETLK on 1985 Whaler

    Just purchased the boat. The seller had been using it this Summer, when it started running poorly (his description). He took it to the dealer who diagnosed low compression on one cylinder as the cause. He decided to sell the tired looking rig rather than spend ?dollars? to get it going...

    Whaler painted camoflage grey/green. How to get it off?

    I have aquired a 1985 Boston Whaler Newport with a 115 Yamaha. I am no surveyer, but the transom and deck seem solid, no soft spots and a sharp solid sound when rapped with a hammer. The hull has three or four small crushed spots, quarter to silver dollar sized that need to be repaired and ...
