    Mercruiser Alpha 1 Gen 2 Upper Unit Gears Shot?? w/ Pics

    I bought this thing and when I was running it on the muffs the outdrive was a bit noisy. Checked and there was moisture in it and the fluid was low. As you can see in the pics there is some metals flakes. There are no hunks of metal anywhere and no discoloration that I can see from...

    1993 Mercruiser 4.3LX - Dies in Water then Won't Start

    Okay, I was test driving a boat and while we were out the motor suddenly shut down. When we tried to start it back it turned over very sluggishly and in some cases it wouldn't turn over at all. After trying to get it to start for a minute or so there was some smoke coming out of the carb. We...

    3.0L 4-Cyl Block Cracked

    Didn't realize it had been patched until I took the manifold off. Saw the JB Weld and wire brushed it off. Engine runs great and didn't mix oil with water. Is this a scrap it and move on deal or patch it back up it should hold with proper winterization in the future.

    No Water Flow - Yamaha Sterndrive L4

    Brand new impeller. Flows a little bit of water on the round earmuffs. Dropped it off into the lake and the raw water pumped moved no water whatsoever. I took the inlet hose off from the bottom of the raw water pump, cupped my hands over the end, and blew air through it and I could hear the...

    Yamaha Sterndrive Shifting Problems 1990 L4 w/ Pics

    It seems that there isn't a lot of photo support regarding these Yamaha sterndrive units so I am posting pics of this stuff as I go. Any help along the way would be greatly appreciated. I removed the outdrive and this is what I found: How do I check the cable from this perspective? Should...

    1990 Yamaha 3.0 L4

    Won't pump water on the muffs. Can't figure out why. LOL On a serious note, I just bought this boat and will be doing some maintenance this winter along with getting the transom rebuilt and redoing some of the interior. Should be tons of fun.

    Project Pretty Motor

    It's a '92 Evinrude 60hp. Started doing a little sanding on it already and have a couple of cans of 1992 Evinrude blue. Just want to clean it up and make it look presentable. If you have any insight, ideas, or shortcuts please throw them out there.

    Dilemma: 1992 60hp Evinrude or 1985 85hp Force

    Scenario: 1985 Bayliner Capri 1600 16' Bowrider exactly as the one below: Engine on the boat is the Force and it has no tilt/trim. I know they are obsolete and it seems to be fairly hard to find parts. I own a 1992 Evinrude 60hp that is on another "crappy" boat that I rebuilt the controls...

    Parts Compatibility Questions: Evinrude 1997 3.3hp and 1996 2hp

    Okay, I bought the 3.3hp for $10 a while back and it's all rusted up inside. Junk but all there. Today I bought (2) Evinrude 2hp engines that were missing carbs for $35. Both turned over with the pull start beautifully and even sound like there is some nice compression there. I looked online...

    OMC/Suzuki Joint Ventures....

    My 1979 Suzuki DT2 looks a lot like some of the older Evinrude 2hps. Did they ever do a joint venture and sell outboards under different brand names??

    Propeller Compatibility

    I understand that there is a sticky in about prop determination for your outboard/boat type/usage/pay load but my questions is a bit different. What is the compatibility between props for different years/horse power ratings on Johnson Evinrude motors. I have a 1992 60hp Evinrude on a 14'...

    1997 3.3hp Evinrude Locked Up Tight (Like OJ)

    HE3ROEUD 97 Got it for $10 this morning. Locked up tight. I squirted some oil in the spark plug opening and had to go in to work. Looks like it may have spent some time under water but I'm not 100% sure of that. Maybe 80% sure though. Appears to be all there. How much do you think a...

    OMC Remote Control Part Repair??

    Okay, as you can see from the pictures below I have some missing teeth. After doing some research, the part number that is on this actual part (332242) does not exist but the corresponding part number from Johnson/Evinrude is this: 397272. I figure this by eye balling parts diagrams. It's a...

    Cannot find any numbers on the transom bracket. The welch plug has this number on it: G253322 I can't find anything else. It's dark blue but there appears to be an undercoat of green but that is only on the motor. The cowling is all blue and no other undercoats. Carb #: JO 433236 Head #...

    Cajun Brat Questions

    A buddy of mine has a Cajun Brat that he is going to sell me. It needs some work but that is okay. Does anyone have any idea where the boat's serial number could be located? Are there any issues that you can think of the plagued these boats? Thanks

    New to boating and boat motors...

    My name is Josh and I live in SW Florida. I bought my first boat the other day (14ft fiberglass Malibu) and it was built the same year I was born, 1981. The same day I purchased a 1980 Johnson 25hp outboard (J25RLCSA). The motor starts and runs fine, apparently it was on a sailboat before and...
