    70hp Evinrude install questions on pontoon.

    I'm looking at a 70hp Evinrude to repower a 2005 21ft Pontoon. Besides a top mount control, and a working tach, what else do I need to get this on the boat and running? I'd like to run an hour meter too. What about a fuel filter as well as a fuel/water separator? What other gauges can be...

He has paperwork on the rebuild. It's bored .020 over and has new pistons. VRO is removed as well...

    I installed new wiring and the new LED rear lights on my trailer last night. Got everything working except for one little problem. The trailer brake lights work. The trailer turn signals work. The trailer hazards work. The one thing that DOES NOT WORK are the running lights, ie the lights...

    Restrictor plates?

    Local lake has a 25hp limit. Good fishing but my Johnson 50hp is too much motor for the lake. Wondering if anyone makes a quick install restrictor plate to reduce the hp to 25 or less?

    Johnson 50hp to 60hp conversion?

    I have an 04 Johnson 50hp 2 stroke. Was told that you can convert it to a 60hp with a carb modification. Any truth to this? I would like an extra 10hp for a few of the lakes I run it on.

    Tilt and trim went on on its own?!?!

    After a weekend fishing trip with the new 2003 Johnson 50hp with tilt/trim I parked the boat in the back yard. About 10 hours later I woke up to a constant humming/screeching noise. At first it was intermittent, and figured it was the neighbor or something. Then it went on non stop. I ran...

    Do you think I damaged it?

    Installed an 03 Johnson 50 last night on my boat. Fired it up for the first time to make sure it would start and it started but wouldn't stop. I must not have checked the throttle cable adjustment and it was running at 5,000rpm for a little over one minute. The key wouldn't turn it off, so I...

    Lower unit went KABOOM! Help please.

    4-6mph in 12 feet of water at the lake and the prop (stainless) hit a stump. Everything froze up. The flywheel would crank about 2 inches then stop and the prop wouldn't turn. I finally reached down there and moved it with my foot. Then cranked it again and it started, but you could hear...

    50hp, 19pitch, new tach..... works great.

    Well I finally had the dealer put on a new tach as some of you said the 19pitch prop would be too much for my 50hp evinrude (1995). <br /><br />Took it out this weekend with 10 gallons of gas, 400lbs of people and probably 200lbs of gear. Boat is an 18ft flat bottom jon with a fully finished...

    1997 evinrude 50 prop choice.

    I have a 97 evinrude 50 on an 18foot flat bottom jon boat that has a full interior. I currenly have a 15'' prop on there now and the engine is revving way too high at WOT, around 7,000rpm. I only keep it at 5,500 max when I'm running around. <br /><br />I've tried a 17 aluminum on there and...

    boat keys. replaceable?

    My brother took off with the keys to the boat. Weather is going to be in upper 70's this weekend so I've got to get on the water. <br /><br />It's an evinrude 50, are there key codes on the key or on the throttle box itself? I doubt that individual keys are made per each throttle box. <br /><br...

    Fishfinder scrolling question, while either stopped or at speed.

    I have a Eagle 320 and it seems that it scrolls at the same speed whether stopped or while moving. If I was stopped, shouldn't it slow down or freeze showing what's directly under me? <br /><br />I would also like to know what range it covers? Is it covering a 10x10 foot patter directly under...

    I'm currently running a 96 Evinrude 50hp on my 18 foot aluminum jon boat (don't know the weight, but it has full interior). <br /><br />A problem that I'm having is I'm running a 15pitch prop and the rpm's at WOT are going above 7,000. Of course I don't keep them there, I try to run it at...
