Anyone have a diagram for wiring up a breakaway kill switch to the controls for my 1976 115 Evinrude? Looking forward to 60+ mph this season on my Checkmate and need this to be working...
Thanks in advance,
The old man that owned my most recent motor before me apparently tried to add HP to my '76 115 by adding larger carbs and exhaust backing. With the motor on the back of my 17 foot Checkmate I am only going 43 mph at around 4300 rpm with a 1/4 tank gas and my 130 lb girlfriend aboard. The prop is...
I've got my '76 115 Evinrude all gone through except for the timing. I am pretty sure it is not advancing as it should. I have the proper Clymer guide for this model and have read up on this procedure. Is there any way of getting around the use of a test prop? Does anyone have a good idea of...
I've got a 1976 115 Evinrude on the back of my Predictor right now. I've cleaned the motor up pretty good and it sure sounds mean when I crank it up, however I'd really like to check the vernatherm just to ensure proper cooling. Normally I'd be able to access the housing relatively easily on...
Does anyone have a chart of some sort that will show power head compatibility? I have a 1977 engine block and a 1986 body. The power head is 115 horses and the body originally had 90 on it.
Thanks
I've got a 1986 90 hp Evinrude that has a blown power head. I will possibly buy a 1977 85 hp Johnson to replace it, but i'd like to keep my tilt and trim. Could I have my Evinrude controls and trim motor rigged up to the Johnson?
Thanks,
Recently got a good deal on a 1984 Checkmate. The 1986 90hp evinrude has a scored cylinder and I am looking at swapping it with another engine block. I was wondering if anyone knew which years would fit on here. I am looking at a 1985 100 hp evinrude and a 1984 90 hp evinrude.
Any info is...
My boat sank last night from heavy rain. Just got it flipped over. Should it be fine with a complete fuel flush and new plugs? It sank in fresh water. Thanks!
I am going to make an attempt to install navigation lights on my 17 foot bass boat. I have a 3 position switch that I would like to use and I do not know exactly how to wire it. Could anyone draw or refer me to a good diagram to use? Here is a rough illustration of what I am working with.
Thanks!
I've got an old McCulloch made Wizard up an running, but after using it I find the gearcase oil to be milky with water in it. I'd like to replace all the seals in the lower unit, namely the propeller shaft seal, but I have no idea as to what I can replace them with. I've never really done...
I recently picked a 1964 3.5 hp McCulloch made Wizard from my grandpa. MLM 6904B. Flywheel will not spin, took lower unit off. Gears are rusted but do not look too bad, they turn and whatnot. This leads me to believe the piston is seized? Still working at tearing it down with my spare time.
Any...
the wire that runs from the stator to the power pack needs replacement and i was wondering if anyone had a tip to give before i take my flywheel off to investigate the wire.
thanks
