    power pack test

    1983 75HP Evinrude. Not firing on #1 cylinder. Ran the power pack test according to the OMC manual. The test results for each ignition coil was less then 230v which would indicate a bad power pack, correct? When I ran the test there would be no reading on the voltmeter, then it would read...

    Steering attachment

    I have a 1983 75 HP Evinrude on 17' Whaler CC. The starboard screws on the center console are stripped and I was planning on doing some epoxy repair to the holes. My question is, how difficult is it to diconnect the steering so that I can move the console a few inches in either direction?

    milky lower unit oil, damage?

    I just finished winterizing my 1983 Evinrude 75HP outboard that I bought back in May. The lower unit oil was milky brown in color, which from previous posts, I know is caused by water intrusion. I replaced the nylon gaskets and put new hivis OMC oil in. The old seals looked shot. There was a...
