    Evinrude DI Gage

    Hi, Broke down and replaced my V8 with a 250 DI. Got everything all rigged up, but I really want to use the temp gage with the engine. I checked out the heads but did not see a place for a temp sender. Has anyone installed a temp sender on one of these? Thanks in advance

    2nd flex hose disc brakes

    Hello, I think I may be doing something wrong; this is the second L side flex hose I've broken in less than a year. The break on the first one was at the L fitting that goes into the caliper. I noticed this weekend the replacment hose parted on the same side, but at the swivel where it...

    Warning Horn, Light Upgrade

    Since my electrical skills are minimal (I tend to fry any component that is fryable.) How can an LED light be incorporated into the warning horn? My horn works ok, but is barely audible at idle. It would be nice to have a small LED light on my dash panel that would flash to correspond with the...

    Quick Start questions.

    Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I still am confused on how Quick Start may be disabled, or bypassed. It should be the same technology on all the engines. Posted by Rod Bolt. "the quick start feature is powered by the power coil at the front of the stator by the two orange black wires from the...

    Disable Quick Start for Joe Reeves Timing Process

    I did a search , but was confused by what I read. Is there a way to ensure Quick Start is eliminated, so Joe Reeves timing process can work on this type of ignition system? I would think that disconnecting the two orange wires from the stator to the buss bar would eliminate this ?? These are...

    Flywheel removal too easy?

    This Past weekend I re-removed the flywheel on my V8, it had not been run since the first removal. I noted it did not require very much effort to pop it. Is this any reflection of the torque used to install it? I know the wrench was set to 150 lbs but the initial removal was a bear compared to...

    Walk Around Seat Pedestal

    I need help finding specific type of seat pedestal, it looks like a side of the base was sliced off. I have seen photos of them on boats other than mine, but can't find them anywhere. I called the seat OEM and they no longer make this type of seat pedestal, only the fully round base.

    Removing Silicone

    Thought I would share a technique for removing residual silicon. I saw a post a while back that mentioned the fun of this chore. I had a lot of it on removable deck panels above my gas tank. It was also on every attached fitting and on the aluminum window frames of my walk around cabin. Scrape...

    Plywood Sandwich

    Hi Has any one used exterior plywood, sealed and then covered with Formica for cosmetic purposes? Seems like it would be a much better cosmetic appearance than paint and a lot less maintenance. This would be used for a vertical exterior marine plywood replacement. Thanks

    Another question about the V8 for Mr. Dhadley
