    Are these wires for tilt/trim?

    Replacing my side mount controls with binnacle. My motor does not have T&T so just want to be sure what these are. The three at bottom of pic with a connector on the end. Thanks.

    Is/was there a tiller option for 1971 60 hp Evinrude?

    Outboard in question is model 60173C ser# J06757. Is or was there ever a tiller available for this outboard? If so, does anyone have a part # and/or source?

    Jack plate/set back with a jet outboard?

    Will the potential jack plate benefits you get with a prop be similar with a jet? I'm replacing my prop motor with jet and am trying to decide if I should just raise the transom or go with a jack plate.

    Why the price difference between Nissan & Tohatsu?

    Thought they were the same motor with different stickers. I'm looking at a 5 or 6 horse 4 stroke and the Nissan is $35 more. No big deal but now I'm curious. Nissan's have something more I'm not seeing?

    '93 Evinrude 55 horse military surplus motor

    Anybody know if there is anything out of the ordinary with these as compared to a non-military version? Is it the same as the 55 commercial? Any real differences at all? Any odd/hard to get parts? Any known performance issues? I'd love to upgrade to a 55 and one of these is currently fitting in...

    Calling all diesel fans.

    I recently bought a new, to me, '97 Ford F350 with the 7.3 complete with 165k miles. I did a lot of looking before I chose this one. Wasn't specifically looking for a diesel but this one was begging for me to buy it. Anyway, within a week of buying it I stuck my camper on it and my boat behind...

    Nissan carb teardown questions.

    2002 NS40D2<br />Pretty easy so far. Everything is off but what about the two brass pieces in the picture? No screwdriver slots and they don't just fall out. Are they supposed to come out or not? I got a manual but it has absolutely nothing to say about taking the carbs apart. Kind of...

    Nissan 40 coughing/sputtering

    2002 NS40D2. Starts and idles great. At maybe half throttle and up it will intermittently miss/cough/sputter. (how do you recreate sounds with a keyboard?) The problem first started as a small almost undetectable miss and over the next couple of trips it has gotten worse. It's definately more...

    Buoy 10 anybody? Capn Mike??

    Just wondering if any northwesterners have been out to buoy ten on the Columbia this week. Planning to go Saturday but if the fish aren't in yet I might not make the drive.

    Possibly the last word on octane levels for outboards.

    I've been trying to follow this octane thing in these forums for several weeks now and have mostly been confused. It looks like those here who are the most adamant about what to use all say that anything more than 87 octane is pointless. Those people also seem to be very knowledgeable about...

    Nissan impellers

    Anybody know if you can just buy an impeller for a nissan? So far in my searching I've only found the entire water pump kit for at least $50.

    Really ugly fish.

    Just thought I'd show off last Saturdays catch. White sturgeon from the Columbia River if you were wondering. 43, 48, 51 & 54 inches. Grand total of 73 pounds. They don't weigh as much as you think they would. Why is it that the really ugly fish are often the best eating? Sturgeon, catfish, Ling...

    Horse power rating formula.

    Link suggested that my question/comment regarding this from another post should have it's own thread. Good idea. Here it is.<br /> Here's the link to that formula as provided by phatmanmike.<br />Here's what Link added to the question.<br /> Exactly the kind of thing I was wondering. Two boats...

    <br />Make, model, hp, anything? That photo is all I have to go on at this point.<br />Thanks

    Which plugs for trolling?

    1979 Evinrude 6 horse (6905). Bought this motor a few months ago and it has been great. I troll with it a lot. 6 to 10 hours a day, 2 or 3 days a week. At least. Using 87 octane with 50:1 Quicksilver TC-W3. When I got it I replace the plugs with Champ. L78V's (surface gap) because they were...

    More fuel/octane questions.

    I troll with a '79 evinrude 6 horse. Rarely run it above a fast idle. Should 50:1 mix be fine? I've heard it's best to mix a different ratio for constant low speed operation. True? If so, what ratio?<br /><br />Reading some other posts on octane prompted me to look it up in my manual. It's an...

    OMC prop #386587 - What's the Dia. and Pitch?

    The number in the title is supposed to be the OMC part number and I'm told it's supposed to fit a 6 horse. What I need to know is the diameter/pitch and if it'll fit on a '79 6 horse Evinrude.

    1972 Johnson 25 & 20 Lower Unit

    Anybody know if the lower units from 1972 Johnson 20 and 25 horse motors are the same? Trying to find parts for my model 25R72 and have found a 20R72 but I don't know if everything is the same. I really just need the gears. Thanks for any info.
