    1979 140 Johnson Weird sound from the tilt action.

    Since I acquired this motor there has been a loud creaking sound when the tilt is operated. The T/T works fine and it is full of fluid. The tilt shaft is well lubricated and I have shot Kroil all over the upper spindle that secures the tilt cylinder. I thought it was from the wood in my engine...

    What have I got.

    The transom says 1979 V4 Evin with T/T. There is no marking on the block. The motor has a small early type VRO mounted at the top of the Air Box. 1984 parts list/drawings show an early small VRO mounted at the top of the air box and a primer not a choke. The carbs are marked 1-5/16. Does anyone...

    150GT Prop question.

    I have just now had the SS prop re hubbed thinking that the thing had spun. The symptom was such. The prop turns out to be a Mercury prop. No biggie. However the old hub took a lot of pressure to remove and there was no real strong evidence the it had let go. An informative comment was made...

    1984 Johnson 150GT wont come up past about 2K Rpm on load.

    I have removed the failing VRO and fitted the two fuel pumps necessary. Running on a 3/8 hose and bulb from a small fuel tank through the fill hole eliminating the possibility of fuel starvation from the boat tank. The filter in the motor is clean and the carbs are clean and rebuilt by me. Fuel...

    1997 90HP Evinrude voltage regulation.

    Took my recently acquired 1997 90 hp XE90TSLEUA out for the first lake test after doing the usual service. I noted that the Volt meter was showing in excess of 16Volts with the motor running. The battery is brand new never been used and shows a little over 12.5 Volts on the meter. Am I correct...

    Trailer tire quandry!

    I see from my research that most trailer tires are rubbish especially those made in China. So what else is new. My recent acquisition, an Aquasport 175 Osprey, has a single axle trailer with a pair of made in USA new looking 205 75 R14 Marathons fitted. I have been looking for a better tire...

    1998 Aquasport 175.

    This boat looks in super condition, everything about it is good except that there is some flexing of the deck at the points where one would board and a little way along the sides by the captains seat. Reaching through the various inspection caps the deck looks and feels solid, very well built...

    1980 Merc 40HP for the real Guru's

    I have been puzzling with this for a while. The timing is way out and the old trigger when rotated to the idle position would cut the sparks off. Thought it was the trigger but a new one does the same. Got to thinking. This motor has a bolt in flywheel center and it looks like the bolts have...

    Controls compatibility.

    I have a 1980 40HP Merc. I also have a 2001 quicksilver control with the same 7 pin plug. The question is are the shift and throttle actions compatible. Thanks in advance.

    !980 pos 81 40HP Mercury Trigger part # identification problem.

    40HP 2Cyl 5751264. Someone earlier has worked on this motor and replaced the stator with CDI 174-5255 and the Switch box with CDI 114-4911. Both of these appear to be correct. Bad and intermittent sparks led to checking the Trigger. Resistance measurements show the trigger to be defective. The...

    1965 9.5 Evinrude.

    I have this one up and running. Some previous owner removed the engine cover rear latch mechanism and rigged with a couple of screws. I would like to fix it correctly. I don't have a manual or parts drawing for this model. If anyone can help with a drawing I would greatly appreciate it.

    Mercury lower unit ID.

    I have a 90HP 1995 Merc Tracker OG165400 . Need to ascertain if the lower unit is standard or Big Foot. It has the short, very wide, upper cavitation plate similar to my 60hp Big Foot. Can anyone clarify this for me?

    This is a tricky one.

    1984 150 GT Johnson. Spark was intermittent on #5 and then disappeared altogether during checks. This is usually symptomatic of a power pack failure. Replaced the pack with a new one and still the same. Switching the orange wires leads me to believe I have two faults a bad coil on #5 and...
