    New axles for old trailer

    Folks, I have an older Venture trailer for my 14 foot skiff. I do not have a title and the VIN Plate is missing. The axle spindles, bearings, races, and springs are shot and need to be replaced. I took some measurements but find that I may not have all I need. The trailer is not local to me...

    What did I do?

    I started up my 1998 200 Ocean Runner on the muffs today so that I could de-carb in preparation for new plugs. She started and ran fine after sittng all winter. I thought I would look for the mysterous valve to connect the can of de-carb spray. On the port side (See attached) there is a Grey...

    Anode Replacement

    I am replacing the zinc on my 1998 200hp Ocean Runner. This is the zinc that is located on the lower unit just above the anti-ventilation fin and also directly above the prop. As much as I crank down on the bolt I cannot get the anode tight. Assuming I have the correct anode, are they not...

    Impeller Replacement 200 Ocean Runner (1998)

    Y'all, I must be dense but my manual just doesn't give me a logical sequence of steps to get to the impeller. Can anyone provide me a link where someone has done a decent pictoral for dropping the lower unit on a large horse OMC? I know it is not too difficult but the Clymer sez I have to...

    Aftermarket Cowl decals

    I would like to repaint the cowling on my 1998 Ocean Runner but have been stymied by the difficulty getting replacement factory decal$. The existing decals are in decent shape and I would imagine they could be copied/duplicated by a competent shop. Has anyone had any experience getting...

    1998 200hp Ocean Runner Questions

    Hey Folks, I have been wrestling with an RPM issue for months (years). I had been able to only get about 4300 rpms's at WOT on a 23 ft. Sea Fox walkaround with the stock 14.5X19 aluminum prop. I went to a 15X17 prop and only gained about 200-400 rpm's but lost top end so I went back. I...

    How to raise motor on transom

    1992 Evinrude 200

    Just checked out a boat for sale with this engine on it. I am new at this but as we were warming the motor up with the muffs on there was water spraying from the seam where it looks like the lower unit mates to the upper unit or shaft, an inch or two below the antiventilation plate. I know...

    Spark plug gap = Low RPM?

    My 1998 Ocean Runner will not rev to over 4200 at WOT while pushing a rather light Sea Era (Sea Fox) 230 W/A. I have not really dove into the problem yet. It runs very well and pushes me to 37 mph, so maybe the tach is wrong adn I am getting full RPM's. I have pulled the boat out of the water...
