    Choke Solenoid

    $120, really? So the choke solenoid on my 1975, 115HP model Evinrude (make #115593) went out. I've done some research and the cheapest I can find is around $120. Seems like the few HPs below and above, however, are far less expensive! What makes such a small part so expensive? Is anyone...

    Starter Solenoid - Or Not???

    So at the end of last season, the starter solenoid on my 115 HP, 1975 model Evinrude puked. It'd start with a tap of the hammer but that quickly gets old! I brought the boat out of storage this weekend to replace the solenoid but spent many hours to get zero progress. I installed the new...

    Why You No Start?!?

    So I'm out on the water this weekend...enjoying a perfect morning on the lake. I've pulled up to my favorite cove/beach and after a few hours, decide it's time for a cruise. I went to start the engine and I've got nothing!!! After testing two batteries, I just ran some jumper cables straight...

    Got Gas?

    Afternoon All, I'm about to start my first project boat so I'm looking forward to using this forum and all the resources it has to offer. My first question is one that I've been trying to figure out for a while. I have a late 70s 115HP Evinrude (sorry, unsure of exact year) that guzzles gas...

    Where'd All The Gas Go???

    Ok guys...need some words of wisdom here. We were on the lake this weekend using our almost finished 16ft tri-hull Starcraft. We're running a late 70s 115HP Evinrude. The engine runs like a champ but drinks an obscene amount of gas! We ran through 6 gallons of petrol in about 30 minutes at...

    A 3rd Toon, Perhaps?!?!?

    Ok...so Sunday was the "Maiden Voyage" of my recently purchased 1979 Poontoon. Wish I could say it went well but I almost sank the dang thing! We had 9 people on board and we skirting the waters edge the whole time. At one point, we throttled down w/ too many people up front and about went...

    Afternoon Everyone...<br /> I've recently acquired a 1979 model Float Boat Pontoon. I've replaced the floor and am now ready to move on to the furniture. Does anyone know of a place (other than E-Bay) that I can get ahold of half-way decent bench style seats? edit Preferred length of bench...

    Seats For Sale???

    Afternoon fellow boaters...I'm in the process of re-fitting a 1979, 24ft Party Barge pontoon and I need seats! The Captain's chair is good but that's about the only one. I'm looking for some bench type seats for both the front and back. Does anyone have any suggestions for some INEXPENSIVE...

    Overheating Issues!!!!!

    I've got a 94' Mariah Talari w/ 300 hours. It runs the Bravo III, Mercruiser 350. It's a great boat but the dang thing won't stay cool. I've replaced the SeaWater Pump, put a cooler Thermostat in, brand new Impeller and still have problems. One weekend it will run fine (stays cool). The next...
