    1993 J50TLETF won't stay running

    Good morning, I have owned this motor for 5 or 6 years and it has been flawless. Last fall it died coming back from a duck hunt and wouldn't start. Rowed the boat the 1/2 mile to the launch and parked it until warm weather. I pulled the input fuel lines from the carbs and there was no fuel...

    Mid 2000's ocean runner 200

    Looking for a little advice. Looked at a project boat the other day and the motor is an Ocean Runner 200, unsure of the year as the tag is partly illegible. Owner thinks it is a 2005 or 2006. Took a hit and punched in the leading part of the lower unit, caved in the cone about an inch. Also...

    Wiring harness

    Working on a 1994 Evinrude E115TXARS. Most of the wiring on the motor has been mouse chewed and I have tried to find a kit for the wiring on the motor. I don't need the long cord with the red plug, just everything inside the engine cowl. Does anyone have a part number or part numbers for this...

    115 hp 1994 Johnson identification

    J90TLCEM water tube

    just picked up a 1989 90hp Johnson, needed an impeller and a "tune up". Got the parts all ordered for the impeller but I have a question. Were the water tubes made out of copper? I do not recall seeing copper water tubes in my previous 90's and the tube seems to be a tad short. I went back...
