    Have an evinrude 70 that lost spark

    Was on the water last weekend and she ran like a top. Go to start her back up and starts for 3 seconds then kills. Now I have no spark. I took a look at the cdi box and it’s 15 years old. How long do these things usually last?

    Gear shifting issue evinrude 70

    Gear shifting issue evinrude 70

    I set the shift rod and it engages but at 3000 rpm it skips/clunks out then back in gear and brought it to boat yard today and determined clutch dog. They working on estimate tomorrow morning. I’m expecting 1000-1300. The rebuild kit is 550 plus 100 an hour in labor
