    Charging system 8hp Tohatsu

    Since my 1998 2 stroke 8hp merc is a Tohastu, will these charging system parts work on it? I ask this because the Merc parts are no longer available. Thanks http://www.tohatsuoutboardparts.com/Electrical-Kits.html

    Starting a large OB with a rope..turns into a weed eater.

    A friend of mine that's a guide had his battery die while out fishing with some clients. He had started large OBs with a rope before, so when the time came he pulled the cowl off the 150HP Merc and wrapped the rope around the flywheel. His motor starts easily, so it didn't take huge pull for it...

    Help solve this money dispute

    This morning I was doing some yard work (3 acres lots of fruit and other trees) and recruited my wife to help me stack all the brush for burning. She had been out trimming her trees and left the branches on the ground, so I figured she could help clean up the mess. I was having a little trouble...

    Boat builders shut down plants

    Expect to see a number of companies start shutting down plants, some for a few months, others for good. This economic environment has been difficult for boat builders and for sometime now they've been slowing production down and looking at possibly closing plants. This was before the current...

    Gas cap leaking, Tohatsu

    I put this here so Elvin might see it. I have a 3.3 merc, same as the 3.5 tohatsu. this motor runs great, shakes like *^$@ and has the worst gas cap of any motor I've had. It leaks any time the motor is tilted up, layed down, or is more than 3/4 full. The problem is the gas cap is too large...

    95 90hp wrist pin bearing and....

    I picked up a parts motor for $100, it's a 95 90hp cross flow with an OMS, very clean, fresh water only. All four cylinders are lightly scored and the #4 wrist pin bearing is gone, with the normal piston and cylinder damage, the head is fine though. I don't normally see a wrist pin bearing fail...

    200HP Ev not starting.

    Now I get to ask a question. 76' 200 Evinrude, good comp, bright blue crisp spark, getting fuel, never had a problem starting it before. I started it for the first time since last August, as normal it started very easily on muffs. I ran it for a few minutes, then it started to run rough, died...

    OLN , Rock The Boat

    If you want to see a little bit of how fiberglass boats are built, watch Rock the Boat on OLN. You can at least see what some of the steps are and what it's supposed to look like. It doesn't explain anything, but it may give you some ideas.

    200hp timing

    1976 200hp Evinrude<br /><br />I was told by an old OMC mechanic that all I needed to do to time this motor was disconect the spark control arm and with the motor running at an idle, move the spark control to the WOT stop. is this accurate, with no load, no throttle and not at 5000 rpm, it was...

    200HP RPM & prop

    I have a 1997 Blue Wave 189 Classic (19' cc , bay boat) I took the motor off and put it on my jet boat a couple of years ago. I have a 1976 200HP Evinrude on it now. I know the boats rated for a new 150, but it's what I have. So far the speeds I've gotten are well below what Yamaha lists on...
