    9.8 hp 2 Stroke Nissan Bogging Down

    Nissan Model NS9.8B, Serial Number 19303 Hello, ​ I'll try not to make this too long winded, but I want to give as much info as possible. I sold this motor a year ago in good running condition so I have a lot of faith in the motor (rebuilt the carb and used it for a whole season). The new...

    97' 150 Evinrude Ignition dropping out?

    Last couple of times out after clearing the "no wake " zone. Once up on plane you could feel the motor missing just for a second. This was happening about every 10 or 15 seconds. After fishing with several start ups and moves(at idle) coming back at the end of the evening, it didn't do it. When...

    Hey guys, I have a 1997 150 hp Evinrue Intruder, model no:E150GLEUE. My old fuel pump(still VRO) started using too much oil so I replaced the pump with a new one off of ebay (supposedly brand new in the box...looked like it). My last trip out with the old fuel pump I premixed my gas, plugged...

    Wiring harness adapter to late model?

    Iv'e heard of a cable that will adapt my current controls for my 85' 140 w/ t&t to a 96' and newer outboard. Can someone fill me in on this. Is this a decent way to go or am I better off with new controls anyway? Where/what does it convert? Thanks

    130 hp Honda noise in nuetral.

    I just got back from a test drive on a boat a friend of mine wants to buy. The boat has a 2000 130 hp Honda 4 stroke(BF130 I believe). The engine made a very slight "whirling" type of noise while in nuetral. The owner said that it has always made that noise. It sounded to us like it comes from...

    Where did my oil go?

    I have my 1985 140 hp Evinrude on the stand in my garage now just getting it ready for a paint job. I figured the smart move would be to replace the water pump impeller before I painted it. I bought the boat a year and a half ago and don't know the history of the impeller. Anyway The first step...

    Pulling my engine?

    hello again,<br /><br />In a week or two I will be pulling my 85' 140 hp Evi off of my 20' wellcraft. Is there anything of interest I should know before I start. The reason I am pulling is to just "cherry it up" a little. Basicly just a fresh paint job. Also the tilt/trim unit needs to be worked...

    What type of aluminum is used for boat tops?

    Hello,<br /><br />Does anyone know what type of aluminum is used to fabricate boat hard top or t-tops? I just purchased over $200 worth of various sized 6061-t6 schedule 40 aluminum pipe.

    rpm questions in and out of water.
