    combining a tailfin/powertran with a power pro 3.

    You are right ,but in this case,the use of the feed is mostly in very short bursts to make small corrections. It is not meant to be a constant feed.

    Evinrude 115 fuel leak

    You can see in the picture that the zip tie above the fuel enrichener has popped off. That may be the source of your leak

    combining a tailfin/powertran with a power pro 3.

    I thought about that a lot. It would be that way if I would use a transformer. The overall amount of energy would be the same just dressed up in a different package. That's why I decided to go with an actuator speed controller. This does not increase the current. It limits the amount of energy...

    combining a tailfin/powertran with a power pro 3.

    So about a year ago I bought a tailfin remote control kicker steering setup and I was not overly happy with it because fine tuning the remote control speed was an issue and I still had to do the speed control from the front end of my Islander. So what to do? I bought a powerpro 3 remote control...

    Excessive smoking

    Smoke is usually a sign that the fuel/air mixture is a bit too rich. Is your choke hanging up maybe?

    Bravo 3 Engine Alignment

    The gimbal bearing is supposed to turn up, down and sideways. Often they seem to be stuck in one position which may not be the right angle. When you put the alignment bar in you should jiggle it around to make sure the gimbal is loose enough to make those movements before you try to shove it all...

    1977 55 HP Evinrude

    The float bowls being empty may be pointing to your problem. Quite possibly the fuel in there evaporated, leaving a thin layer of gunk and that gunk is very capable of clogging all the narrow passages. I would let the carbs soak in carburetor cleaner over night and then blow them out with...

    remote control tiller steering question.

    It seems that a transformer is not the ticket, but I found a DC speed controller for actuators and I'm going to try that. I hope it works.

    remote control tiller steering question.

    Here goes. I have a tailfin (powertran) remote control wireless steering setup and a powerpro 3 wireless speed control both for the same kicker. I need 2 remote control fobs to run this setup which I do not like very much. So I tried to hook the tailfin actuator into the powerpro 3 and now...

    Operators manual for 1957 Evinrude fastwin 18 hp model 15020?

    I would not touch a Clymer with a 3 yard pole, but in this case, the old Evinrude engines are so simple that usually one look at the pictures will already make things clear.

    Pumping out oil from dipstick

    I disagree with the idea of not using a plastic tube going through the dipstick tube . Simply because the dipstick tube does not go all the way down to the bottom of the oil pan and you will never get all the oil out without the plastic tube going all the way down to the bottom of that oil pan

    Merc 3.0 Overheating

    Your problem may be as simple as a thermostat not opening up when it should. Just for fun, remove the thermostat , run the engine and see what happens to the temperature

    Operators manual for 1957 Evinrude fastwin 18 hp model 15020?

    There is the Seloc Johnson/Evinrude Certified textbook for Engines from 1.5 thru 40 hp from 1956 to 1970. In spite of the bad rap that most non factory manuals usually get , this one is very precise and user friendly. I have used it for many years and it gives me everything I need for these...

    Adding a starter to a 1963 Evinrude 28302A 28 hp

    The things that racerone did not mention is that you may have to change the flywheel to one that has sprockets. you should also realize that these old old outboards do not have a charging system so you will have to add a battery and wiring and a starter button on your dash.On my '57 there is...

    skeg damage ...home repair

    There are skegs on the market that fit right over a damaged one. Just google "replacement skeg". Slide it on, tap it up a bit with a hammer, drill a few holes to screw it on and tighten it down and you have a nice shiny new skeg

    Winterize evinrude 50

    Why not take it off the boat and store it in your garage for the winter? Those engines are not very heavy. Do change or at least check the lower unit oil for water because if it freezes inside your lower unit it will crack your lower unit

    Tohatsu wiring and trollmasterpro 3

    I installed a little remote control servo ( trollmaster pro 3) on my 2020 9.9 tohatsu and it works well, but not great.The troll master unit has a wire that is to be connected to a switched positive wire so there is no battery drainage when when the little engine is shut off. It makes no sense...

    1962 Evinrude 18hp Compatibility with 1969 Evinrude 18hp

    That would probably be a waste of time , because very often with different year models, different numbers were given to the very same parts from previous years
