    Cowl Repaint Prep

    Re: Cowl Repaint Prep I may try that hybrid approach that 5150 recommends. If the cracks come through again, as has happened to JimS123, I can strip her down in the future and repaint. I've attached a few pics.

    Cowl Repaint Prep

    I've got a 1961 Evinrude fiberglass cowl that I'd like to repaint. I've removed all decals and such and cleaned it up well. The original paint is still there except for a few spots where there is bare fiberglass is showing through. If the original paint lasted for 50 years then I assume that...

    1963 75hp Starflite Rebuild

    So I'm nearly finished rebuilding my motor. I started this project more than 3 years ago and for a while, I wasn't sure if I'd ever finish. During that time, I had to finish my Bachelor of Science and my Master of Science degrees from Penn State. And since they were both Honors programs, I...

    Quotes

    When I use the reply with quote, the entire post is quoted. I then have to delete all sentences except those that I want to quote. Is there a faster way to only quote a portion of a post without deleting a bunch of text? Also, how do you quote multiple parts of a post that aren't connected...

    PM Notifications

    Is it possible to see PM notifications as soon as one logs in like it used to be? I used to be able to see if had any PM's in my inbox without even opening up the PM page. Now, because I can't see notifications, I remember to check my PM page only once in a blue moon. If somebody sends me a...

    How to Add Icon (emoticon) in Text

    How do I add an icon to my text, like one of those fancy smiley faces that I see in others' posts? Instead of the old standby symbol :-) I tried in the past and the icon was displayed on the main forum page beside the title of my thread but I'd like it right here in the text. Thanks.

    Need Pics Early 60's 75hp

    I could use a few pics of a 1963, or thereabouts, 75hp. Specifically, I need to see how to route the reverse lock cable. They way I have it now doesn't seem quite right because the cable rubs on the bolt, #29 in the diagram. I also need to figure out how the cable collar, #60 in the diagram...

    Motor in signature. My parts manual doesn't list the part number for the set of spark plug leads including boots, ends, etc. Does anybody know the part number for that set? Thanks.

    Starflite History

    When did the Starflites begin? Did the model change consecutively by year? For instance, was the Starflite II in, say, 1961 and the Starflite III in 1962? Did this change each year? Were there differences in the Staflite number designation between different HP models? In other words, could...

    Starter Motor Grounding 1963 75hp

    Motor in signature. I'm wondering how the starter motor grounds to the engine block. I have the Delco-Remy starter motor shown in the diagram. The two thru-bolts connect the top of the motor to the block at the top and a bracket connects the bottom of the starter motor to the block. It looks...

    Hose Sizes 1963 75hp

    I'm gonna replace all hoses for the motor in my signature. I understand that I need to get alchohol-resistant lines for the fuel. Is there anything special about the water lines, i.e. the lines that run to the hot-water-actuated choke? Anything special about the vacuum lines, i.e. the line...

    Set Points by Feeler Gauge or Continuity Meter 1963 V4?

    Motor in signature with battery distributor ignition. I've always adjusted points by gapping. However, my Seloc says that it is more accurate to adjust points by testing for continuity while the timing mark on the disty pulley aligns with the timing bosses on the disty body. Is this a more...

    Advice on Compression Gauge

    I want to run a compression test on my motor with the gauge that I have. It is a K-D Tools #2428. It's a basic gauge that I've used before on cars and on my boat motor. However, I realized that I can't tighten it properly because of the depth of the recessed spark plug hole. I can't get a...

    Testing: How to Edit Thread Title

    Not sure where to post this question, but how can I edit a thread title? I figured out how to edit the title of my first post but the title doesn't change in the Johnson and Evinrude Outboards forum. For instance, under my post "Exhaust Tube Seal Ring Install '63 75hp", I wanted to include the...

    Grommet or Plug Needed? 1963 75hp

    I have my adapter plate and exhaust housing back together now but something struck me as odd. Should there be any grommets or plugs covering the "3rd hole" and the shift rod hole between the upper cavity and lower cavity of the outer exhaust housing? My first pic shows the 3rd hole that lies...

    1963 75hp Water Pipe Questions

    I have my powerhead adapter plate separated from the outer exhaust housing. I also have the water pipes disconnected from the adapter plate. When I reconnect the water pipes with new end grommets and gaskets, will the pipes be free to spin while still holding a good seal? I would imagine that...
