I just put a temp gauge on my 1991 40hp by attaching the sensor to the top head bolt closest to the thermostat. My question is what should the operating temp actually be? It's showing me around 190F which I think is high. I previously had an old Evinrude 40hp 2stroke and attached the same gauge...
This is a recent acqusition for me. First Jet boat. Every so often it feels like a clutch is slipping. Cavitation I'm told? Is that it? Is the clearance between the prop and the housing too big? It has around 130 hours on it. Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
So it happened today. The PTT motor has been making some odd noises recently but today it stuck all the way up and does not move. The PTT motor still makes noises when trying to go up or down, but nothing happens. This is my first PTT. Is it the motor? Blown seals? ideas, comments? Thx. And btw...

So I figure it's finely time to rebuild my '68 hydrocycle over the winter. As you can see in the pics it looks like it basically has a top part and a bottom part riveted together. I have never had it in the water but looking at all the silicone along the rivet joint I assume it leaks like a...
Re: 1959 evinrude 35hp big twin
This should help. If you don't have a key switch it gets a lot easier. But how so you shut it off? Choking it is not the best but it does work.
So who knows the 22 cubic inch engine well? It has a long great history. I recently picked up a 20BA75B which seems to be quite a rare bird. It's a Johnson 20hp from 1975 made in Canada. It appears to be the same as the 25hp engine from that same year other than the fact that the 25 revs at...
