Hey there, I have a 1993 Evinrude 150 Spitfire. Ran fine all last year. I started it up the other day to get it ready for Memorial Weekend after sitting all winter, and I heard a ticking coming from the engine after the fogging oil cleaned out and it was idling good again. After messing...
Hello, I have a question regarding adjusting the shift cable on a 1993 Evinrude 150 Spitfire. I think I have the cable adjusted correctly, or at least close to it. I have a problem though. Neutral is working correctly. If I just barely shift it into gear (forward or reverse) it doesn't seem...
Hey guys, I've got a problem. Last week I was out on the lake, I was just going along and then I heard what sounded like a box of gravel being shaken coming from my motor. After getting towed back, I think the problem lies in the lower unit or possibly a shift cable problem from what I've been...
I have a 93 Evinrude 150hp Spitfire V6 and haven't gotten around to buying a manual for it yet, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how much gear lube the lower unit holds, and which plug to pour it it and drain it.
Thank you
I was trying to trouble shoot my engine for a few minutes(rpm jumps around at low rpms) and the dang garden hose fell off the earmuffs. I think it fell off withing 60 seconds of when I shut the motor off. It seems to be peeing fine, but that could just be the water from the hose forcing its...
I have a 77 70 hp Evinrude. When it is running low rpms (2000 or less) it "shudders" quite a bit. At first it sounded like it was picking up a cylinder, but it loves to foul the plugs now. I got new plugs and gapped em to .030 and it seemed to run fine for a little while. I noticed if I take...
Last week my motor started running kinda cruddy. It sounds like its picking up a cylinder every now and then. It pretty much just does it below 2000 rpms. I thought I had some bad gas, but that doesnt seem to be the case. Ive changed gas, replaced the plugs, cleaned the carb bowls and...
Friday I was taking my cousin fishing near the launch area...figured if we didnt catch any fish we could always enjoy the free show. Our neighbor got a new boat looks kinda like a small cigarette boat named Jalapeno. Its red if that points to the guys intelligence. He had a hard time getting...
My tilt and trim motor has crapped a chicken. The brush holder is broken and the new motor is about 230 bucks. Does anybody know of somebody who repairs the motors or sells good used parts?
I have a 1977 15' Terry fiberglass bass boat. It is a tri hull design, but it is not that apparent. The V has a pretty steep rake to it with an almost flat bottom. It has a 77 Evinrude 70 hp engine on it. I am not sure of the prop it has on it now as it has no markings indicating such. It...
Ok, I have a 77 bass boat with a 77 evinrude 70 hp engine. Yesterday I noticed my tilt and trim was sounding a little weak and was having trouble pushing the outboard. I used the trolling motor a lot yesterday. When I went to put the boat on the trailer it would barely pick up the outboard...
Hello, I am new to this forum.
My problem is yesterday I took the boat out fishing at my local lake. It ran great the whole time. Then when it came time to put the boat on the trailer, I had my buddy drive the boat. He pulled away from the dock, and then moved the throttle back to idling in...
