'82 35hp evinrude. about 143# cyl 1 about 150# cyl 2. (measured about 30 minutes after coming out of the water) The book says to validate "high" compression. "high" is kinda arbitrary to me! Had it out for a few hours today. After running at WOT for about 15-20 minutes (crossing lake...

I'm going to rebuild a carb and water pump and want to be able to tune the engine in the basement before I do a decarb on the lake. Can I properly tune a '82 35 hp short shaft tiller evinrude with muffs or do I need a tank? I don't mind building one but would need some help with the dimensions...

for my 1982 35hp evinrude. I found the carb kit but have not been able to find the impellar. I tried using the "Narrow your search" field. The factory evinrude part number is 0388702 ($20 from evinrude and in stock). Should I order the carb kit w or w/o the float? Should I get just an...

So the 1982 35hp tiller I picked up runs pretty well. It took a bit to get her going but after she was warmed up one pull started her. Some issues I noticed... The tell tale was strong at first then got weaker. When I inspected it after I got off the water I found a small piece of debris in...

Which according to the model (e35rcnd) it is a 1982 35 hp not a 1984. I Paid $350 for it. The prop is a little beat and could use a replacement. the plug boots look worn and probably should be replaced. I did start it. The pull is jerky. Sometimes I can get full extension out of the rip...

Is there a reason I would consider the 1991 vs the 1984 given same mechanical condition? The 84 with pull start and short shaft is $375 (seems cheap to me). the 91 (10hp less then the 84, still pull start and short shaft) is $1075. Thanks for your help again. You all have been very helpful...

Should I buy a 77 johnson 25 hp short shaft with electric start or a 91 johnson 25 hp with manual start. the 77 is around $500 the 91 us about $1075 am i better off with an older motor with electric start or a newer one with pull start? thanks!

Question about a 77 25 hp short shaft johnson I am looking at purchasing. When you lift the motor out of the water, should there be a lock bar that keeps the motor in the up position? my newer 15hp has the lock bar but the 25hp I was looking at does not. I went to shop.evinrude.com to look at...

I can buy a 1977 johnson seahorse 25hp short shaft with electric start and a charging system for $500. It seems to be in good running condition. He offered to take my 1993 Evinrude 15hp short shaft pull start in trade. I'm thinking my Evinrude is worth more than $500. Are these older...

I currently have a 94 evinrude 15hp short shaft manual start. I use it on a 16ft aluminum boat with 3-4 adults in it. A local marina has a95 mercury 25hp short shaft missing the cowl for $750. How does the mercury compare to the evinrude? Is the merc at $750 a good price? Thanks!

Hi! I have a 1995 (i think) Evinrude E15REOD (serial # G 03962648) with rope start. I'm wondering if I can convert this to electric start as a winter project. Also, the engine does not seem to want to idle. It runs like a champ with a little bit of throttle but if allowed to idle it dies...

Hi guys! I have a 1995 15hp evinrude short shaft outboard. I'm looking to upgrade to a 25hp motor. I have a chance to buy a 1999 Yamaha Enduro 25hp for $1150. From what I have been able to find out, the Enduro motors are made for the non-us markets. If I ever have trouble with the Yamaha how...
