It was time to move the dock to its winter cove......about 2 kms from our cottage. This usually involves either lashing it to the side of my 17.5/75hp or towing it with the same. I have to say this has always been a real pain. NO LONGER!!! This year I bolted a makeshift mount to the end and...
A few of you may remember my adventures in Stuck driveshafts with my 65 evinrude 9.5 sportwin. Long story short.....take your motor apart from time to time and clean and lube it. After sitting for 15 odd years, the motor was relatively easy to get tweak up and running again, but changing...
Hi again! My carb is leaking from two places (it's a 1965 evinrude sportwin) It leaks from a hole next to the slow speed adjustment....I figured its missing a shot plug there. Its also leaking from a very small hole at the bottom of the choke throat. it's a little hole under the linkage...
Hi There! I thought I'd post some pics.... I haven't seen anyone else with the backyard camo conversion yet. Thank you everyone for all your patience and help......now I just let the paint cure for a couple days and I'm off to the races.
P.S. How do you think it looks? I'm pretty happy...
Hi all, With all the pics I took during disassembly I managed to miss something. What position should the tab be on the gearcase head when reassembled? There is a V groove in the brass bushing that I assume should be at the bottom, but I'm not sure it matters. Any thoughts? I can take...
Hey all, just to let you know, if by some chance you split the lower portion of your water pump housing...while pressing in a new oil seal (F!@#$%^^^!!!) Van's Sports in Michigan has 5 of these now unavailable parts in stock! This was a life saver. Take care . P.
Hi guys, when I removed the lower end from my '65 sportwin 9.5 the driveshaft stayed up in the powerhead. I figure if it came apart that way I should be able to reassemble it without removing it from the power head. Sure in a perfect world it would get slide hammered out greased etc. but...
Hi all, Please excuse me as this motor is at the cottage right now, so I can't provide exact model or serial #s. I have a 20's Johnson 3hp that is in remarkable condition with one huge caveat. One of the cylinders has what appears to be a hole in it. I know this'll sound ridiculous, but...
HI all! Thought I'd post some pics of this thing before it gets all spruced up. I want to stress that I had nothing to do with the atrocious blue colour. This is how I got the thing...... price $0.00 Invested so far $53.00 in parts $14.00 on a service manual that's taking forever to get...
Hi again! Finally got the flywheel off!!! HOLY COW!!! That thing was on there. I was thrilled to find no cracks or sweating on the coils, and as I already had a decent spark, I'm leaving them be. While I have everything apart though, I thought I should do a points kit. I have the kit and...
Hi there! ANyone know if there is a Magnesium Anode available for the BF75....I have heard it is better for freshwater than zinc. My motor sees freshwater only. Thanks P
Hi there, I have a 1965 9.5hp Evinrude Sportwin Model 9522C and was wondering if anyone knew what propeller I should have on it. I plan on using it for waterfowling, so figure on a 12-14' alluminium boat, 425lbs of hunters and gear. I don't mind it lugging a little when hunting if it means I...
Hello, I have a 1965 Evinrude sportwin 9522C 9.5hp, and suspect a leaky Shift rod Oring. I can just barely see it underneath a press fit brass fitting. Any ideas how to remove/change this part? I have the whole lower end apart to cure some milky oil problems, and this is the only seal...
Hi again!, I just got back with all the seals for my lower end, and while I was at the parts counter the guy recommended a points kit. I'm hoping once I get the flywheel off I won't need coils also. Question is..... is there a trick to removing the flywheel. I've removed the nut, but it...
Hi there, I'm brand new here so please excuse me if my questions have been answered before. I have an evinrude model 9522C 9.5 hp Sportwin, and am wondering what the standard pitch would be? I'll be using it for waterfowling out of a 12-14ft alluminium boat. The motor hadn't run for 20...
