    Replacing old 2 stroke with newer 4 stroke advice?

    It was initially rated for 125hp, so I'm hoping a 4 stroke 115 will work. Any brands / years of motors recommended?

    Replacing old 2 stroke with newer 4 stroke advice?

    82 ProCraft 16.5' fish & ski bass boat with 90hp Evinrude. Still runs good but does have the typical smoke cloud and a clutch dog that skips every once in a while. Am thinking of replacing with a newer 115hp 4 stroke. What problems might I encounter? Any advice, tips, or recommendations...

    Older Minn Kota All Terrain 40 prop upgrade?

    It's on a 82 ProCraft 16.5' fish and ski bass boat. It does OK. I was just wondering if there was some new prop technology out there to give it a little boost. New trolling motors cost too much to change now. Thanks for your input.

    What motor will this prop fit?

    Cleaning out storage shed at lake house. Found 3 used outboard or stern drive propellers. They were probably replaced or were spares. The problem is that I don't know what engines they would fit. I am assuming that props are not interchangeable between engine manufacturers. I'd like to...

    1982 Evinrude 90hp Trim/Tilt not working. Stuck in down position on boat lift.

    Hi, I have a 1982 Evinrude 90hp. The trim motor turns on, (whirring), when the switch is pushed for either up or down. The engine does not move up or down and doesn't sound like it is trying. It is currently on a boat lift in the down position. What do I check first? Can I raise it manually...

    Is my 12v starting battery shorted out?

    I have a starting battery and a DC trolling motor battery. Went out the other day and when I got back, I left the master switch on for a few days. No starting now. Pulled the leads off the starting battery and hooked the charger up to it. Instead of the usual charger needle going up to...

    1982 Evinrude 90hp exhaust spitting....is this normal?

    1982 Evinrude 90hp. Started up fine after last winterizing. Runs fine, good pressure on water outlet. I was just looking at it while it was running and notice a fair amount of spray coming out of the exhaust holes at the top of the lower unit. Is this normal? It has probably done it...

    1983 Evinrude 90hp felt like I hit something, but I didn't. What is it?

    OK, had the family out tubing today. Everything went fine, engine ran great. After about an hour or more of dragging them on the tube around the lake, we were going along and all of a sudden, a "thump". It felt like we hit a big catfish or something with the motor. About 20 minutes later...

    I have a 1983 ProCraft 1650V Fish & Ski with an 83 or 84 90hp Evinrude. The problem is with my Fast Idle Lever. It is loose at the control. All cables are secure and functioning properly at the engine. I took the control assembly off the side of the boat and opened it from the back (praying...

    85 Mercruiser 4.3L trim tilt whining but not lowering

    I have a 85 Mercruiser 4.3L with a Mercruiser outdrive. Boat has been sitting for a year+ with the unit all the way up. Just tried lowering it. The trim motor whines, but nothing happens. I guess it is all the way up because it doesn't do anything when I tried going up with the switch. Motor...
