Good luck finding a replacement And a gentleman has 3 sets of gears. I attempted to be as polite and humble as...

    Stuck water pump impeller

    Honestly I'm not intending to argue...I'm most likely poorly informed please forgive me for that. Driveshaft at the thrust washer from 2 different sides. Multiple views of the pinion...being a helical bevel gear I understand it gets smaller as the diameter does. And I'm not about to believe I'm...

    1996 evinrude 70hp electrical issue

    In addition to fuses...or if fuses test or show good. Check battery connections as well. Even if fuse(s) blown good to check battery and wiring connections as resistance leads to lower volts leads to higher amps leads to popped fuse.

    Stuck water pump impeller

    Had to update this cause I didn't realize a screwdriver could be utilized as a water pump drive part. I can't believe all the outboard manufacturers go to the trouble of designing close fitting keys for the water pump....what a waste of time and resources for them when they could have just...

    Stuck water pump impeller

    Looking at the schematic for this lower unit it doesn't appear to be smaller below the water pump. But this is a 1st for me will keep fussing at it and likely get out the cutoff wheels tomorrow. I took the liberty to order a full seal kit for the lower...I have a sick feeling I gonna be inside...

    1996 Johnson 40hp No Spark

    I Agree on the near impossibility of easily diagnosing from 1000s of miles away. Most older outboard engines I have dealt with are shut down via grounding ignition systems. I would suggest checking fuses, relays, and my personal favorite which lead to an unusually long 20mile self rescue via...

    Stuck water pump impeller

    2001 J40VLSIG Ok so I realize this outboards impeller is improperly secured in place and I want you all to know I didn't do it! But I do need advice on how best to proceed to remove it. The impeller rotates about 8 degrees left or right pretty freely until it binds on that ugly pin. I can't for...

    Picture of my prop - what’s going on here?

    Would like to see whole prop in picture just cause I'm curious as to possible damage. That said I have had sleeve/hub fails due to age and I imagine the Mojave sun and summer temps not great for them either.
