    1987 Evinrude 110 horse shift rod height

    My 110 horse had a slipping clutch dog. Pulled the lower unit apart and replaced it along with the forward gear. Thanks to the guys over at AOMCI, I didn't have to pay through the nose for them. My manual says that my shift rod height should be 21 27/32" from gearcase to the center of the shift...

    I never saw this coming.

    I bought an Evinrude 110 horse off of Craigslist in 2010. The ID tag was missing off of the transom mount and I did quite a bit of research and determined it was an '87 E110TLCUR. I even posted the welch plug number here in the forums to try and get more info. I have done several things to...

    Johnson 175 stuck in reverse

    Re: Johnson 175 stuck in reverse I hope this works. This is an exploded view of your lower unit. The shift rod is number 64. But like Boobie said, we are just guessing here. We won't know anything until you drop the lower unit.

    So I repropped and.....

    I have an '87 Evinrude 110 that had a 13 1/4 X 17 prop when I bought it. I could turn over 6700 rpm at wot. I bought a new Turning Point 13 1/4 X 19 prop. I can still twist around 6000 rpm out of it. Now my outboard is supposed to turn 5200 to 5500 rpm at wot. My question is should I stay...

    1963 Hydrodyne with a Volvo Penta engine

    A friend of a friend is going to buy a '63 Hydrodyne with a 4 cylinder Volvo Penta powerplant. She has been sitting since 2007 and while I am no stranger to bringing old outboards to life, I have very limited experience with Inboards. Other than replacing or rebuilding the water pump and...

    Re: Please help head tourqe spec Head bolts for your motor get torqued to 18-20 ft-lb. Here is the torque sequence. Remember to re-torque these after(I think) 2 hours of run time.

    I believe I'm right about this, but opinions are appreciated.

    I have a 1982 Four Winns Marquis 160 F&S (1100 lbs?) with an '87 Evinrude 110 hanging off the back. The rated WOT for that motor I believe is 5500 RPM. The motor has a 13 3/8 X 17, 3 blade aluminum prop on it and if I push the throttle all the way I can turn 6200 rpm. Here is my Question, if I...

    Shipping delays

    I ordered a pair of back to back lounge seats from here on iboats.com on May 1st. I get an order confirmation email that day that tells me they will ship out on or about the 13th with a delivery date on or about the 15th. Two weeks to fill an order? Ok, I guess. Yesterday I checked my email...

    Boat seat blues.....

    I have a 1982 4winns Marquis 160 F/S. The seats are SHOT. I never liked the style of the bucket seats that are stock. I am looking to replace them with a set of back to back loungers. My dilemma is nobody stocks them. I understand that these aren't a high demand item and folks don't replace...

    Keep them guessing.....

    My grandson and I and my 22 yo son(not my grandson's father) were watching a movie. It's called "rise of the guardians" and my grandson loves it. After the movie my son, who isn't a dad yet, says to me: Dan: Dad do you know how scared you used to make us when you picked up the phone and dialed...

    From a bunk trailer to a roller trailer

    My old trailer was original to the boat. It was a bunk and roller trailer. It is pretty well worn out. The tongue had broke almost in half and I had driven two pieces of angle iron down it to hold it together. I found a newer and in much better condition roller trailer that has tandem axles...

    1987 110hp lower unit bearing mystery

    Earlier this year I lost the upper vent plug on my lower unit in the river and filled it full of water. I ended up ruining all the bearings in my lower unit. I ordered all the parts from here on iboats and yesterday I finally got to put it all together. Everything went well until I went to...

    Forward Gear and Pinion set

    So I had the boat out on the river a week ago and I had a blast! Three days later my son shows me that the lower drain plug is missing on the lower unit. So I give the prop a spin and it sounds like the lower unit is full of sand. Yesterday I dig out the manual and start tearing into it...

    Muskies?

    I have been fishing my whole life. Grandpa got me started when I was about 8. I have caught cats, bass, panfish, walleye, striper, carp, and suckers. I have never caught a muskie or pike. I don't know much about them. Where do I begin to outfit myself for them? What are their habitats...
