    BF15D carb broken accelerator plunger

    Hi all My 15hp 4st has broken the plastic accelerator plunger, about the only carb part you can’t buy separately. The 15d carb is not cheap new. Does anyone have one for sale? I believe a 20d carb will also have the part. Cheers

    92 30hp evinrude linc and sync

    Hi all My motor will not idle down low and can be a pain to start unless i crack the throttle blade by putting a stick between the roller and the cam plate.

    Jacking plate set back, running in shallow water.

    Hi All I bought a flat bottom to run in a very shallow inlet, well parts of it. To get in and out of the rivers and out to the mouth you sometimes have to chop through (or drag it) water that is about a hand deep. I have attached some pics of the boat and the motor as it is.
