    Kicker bracket question.....

    So, I picked up one of the Garelick model 71074 like this; http://www.garelick.com/product.php?pnumber=71078# My intent is to hang a Nissan 5hp 4stroke as a kicker on my 19' Glassmaster. I plan to put it starboard, basically opposite the swim ladder. However, looking at it, with the motor...

    Overheatin question on 1979 140 Evinrude Crossflow

    Ok, so today was "shakedown cruise day" (it was on the U.S. calender if you didn't see it) and we took the "new to me" boat out. On the way out, after idle speed of about 3/4 of mile (long channel), went WOT, all was well. Had the motor trimmed way too high and started really porpoising (took...

    Question about adding a "kicker"...

    Ok, first of all, this is a very poor picture I'm including after my question, it's dark and the boat's in the garage. Anywho,.....I have two boats. One is a sailboat, and the other an older Glassmaster 19'. The pwrboat has an Evinrude 140 on the back, and the SB has a Nissan 5hp 4stroke that...

    Let a "Mechanic" touch it...now it won't start??

    Ok, so to bring you up-to-speed, I got down to where only 1 cylinder was firing. Determined it was more than likely an issue under the fly wheel. Since I don't have a fly wheel puller, and I"ve never done it, I took a recommendation from a neighbor and went to a mechanic to have him do it. We...

    Just for the sake of asking.......(no executions allowed)

    So, let's assume, just for conversation purposes, we all knew a guy that for the most part, was a sailor. However, said sailor actually went out and obtained a power boat in order to appease his lovely bride & almost grown children. Sailorboy, being frugal as he is (and quite handsome for the...

    How to remove flywheel, 50hp

    Ok, so I've figured out my power issue; I'm only operating on one cylinder. I tried 3 different coils, so I've come to the conclusion it's not a coil problem (unless all 3 were bad, but the odds are against that). So, that leaves me with points/condensor, right? The problem is, I've never...

    Tips for converting tri-hull walk thru to CC

    So I've done a "search" and I can't find what I'm looking for and I thought I would create a thread hoping someone would post a link to a previous thread. I want to take my 16' Riviera Tri-hull walk-through and convert it to a Center Console. I need to replace the floor anyway, since there's a...

    Ok, what to check /PICS PICS--Low Power

    So, I've got great water flow thanks to the sticky and subsuquent change of the impeller. Everything shifts fine, and it starts well. As a matter of fact, it SEEMS to run ok at idle/low speed. However, I may be allowing for a lot of leeway, as my other outboard is a 'Rude 9.9 with no...

    Getting a manual, of any type, makes sense

    So I finally got my latest "Ebay" find; a 12/1982 Chysler Marine Service Manual for 45 & 50hp outboards and I'm liking it. I got lucky and found it for $11.00 but it does, of course, have a limited audience. My engine is a 1983 50hp so it was perfect. Regardless of the type, however, having...

    Decals? Anybody got 'em?

    Anybody carry or remake the original decals for cowlings? I know there are companies that make aftermarket decals, but from what I've seen, they're just generic "Chrylser" and not like the originals. Anybody got a line on OEM or "Copies" of the original decals for say my '83 50hp?

    '96 Evinrude Yachtwin (9.9)-telltale question

    I picked up this 9.9 early this spring and it's been a good motor, to-date. PO seems to have done his maintenance, which in Florida, makes all the difference in the world. Lately, however, I've been struggling with my newly acquired power boat's outboard and cooling has been an issue. Which...

    Just great, another 'newbie' with a dumb question?!?!

    Hello everybody. I must say, it's pretty cool watching some of you 'masters' bringing these old beautys back to life. I'm learning a lot and will need lots of help next year when I plan to tear down the 15' Riviera that's in the garage. As for now, I'm having loads of questions answered in the...

    Question about a 90s Tohatsu 40hp (should I trade?)

    Ok, I've got a dealer that will take my '83 Chrysler 50hp in trade for his early 90s Tohatsu 40hp (two cylinder), plus $250.00. I've also got to purchase a prop, but controls are included. I know virtually nothing about nothing, although I'm learning and have been getting some really good...

    Question about lower unit fluid...

    Changing out an impeller, I removed the drive shaft and sat the lower unit against my tool bench and walked away. Came back to find that it had tipped over and about 4-5 ounces of fluid had spilled out (on the positive side the fluid was nice and fresh looking). I understand it takes about a...

    If ignition switch is wired wrong, will coils be hot to touch?

    Chrysler 50hp (507H3D), both coils are super hot to touch, even after sitting for couple of hours? I saw an older thread that talked about this on a Force, where the suggestion was to check the wiring to the switch? First, if it's wired wrong, is that going to cause the coils to stay hot? If...

    Hot Tamales! (coils) but why?

    So, I took out the Riviera today with the newly switched out 50 (507H3D--1983), you know, the one where I had the local wrench switch out the lower units and install onto the boat. Anyway, if you're behind, the saga is all easily found (lol). Of course, as is normal anytime I put trust in...

    Running lean question:

    If my 50hp (507H3D) is "running lean" what exactly are we talking about? I've heard, in the past, that lean/rich can of course apply to the gas/oil mixture, but can also apply to a carb setting. How does one know, for a fact, if a motor is running lean and then how do you differentiate between...

    Oh, Frank or Jerry, I need youuuuu.

    So, during the whole, "Ouch that's hot" thread, Frank mentioned that my motor is the "older style" that has the only water coming from the plastic tube, etc. etc. My question now, is; is it still ok to do the "telltale install"? I know something is slightly amiss as I've now acquired 2 50hp...

    Smaller Outboard Trim-Poll....Where do you keep your pin?

    So, for those of us who use 75hp outboards and below, where does everybody keep their trim pin? I mean the pin that's closest to the transom that allows your motor to stop going down any further. There's 3 options in the poll: #1 is the lowest possible spot-meaning the engine is a far down as...

    Attention "Newbie" 50hp Owners (& others I'm sure)Cooling Info!!

    Ok, so I learn most things the hard way. A few of you may have been following my 'overheating/compression' thread(s) on my 1983 50hp outboard. Well, as it turns out, the biggest problem I had was "self". Here's the scoop; Doing what a lot of us do, I was using a rather large trash can filled...
