    March Madness is cancelled, the NBA is shut down, the Masters is postponed, and my Aunt Marge’s senior bowling has even thrown in the towel. Now restaurants and bars are closed, and our 40-handicap governor is threatening to shut down all entertainment facilities including golf courses. I have...

Demolition derbies, dirt track racing, and this crazy event that had a specially outfitted car....platform on the rear bumper, with grab-handles. The contestant wouldd stand on the platform as...

    1975 Evinrude 6 HP. catburetor fuel inlet nipple

    Decided to change all fuel lines on this motor. While removing the fuel line from fuel pump to carb, the carb inlet nipple came out of the carb body. Can I just push it back in with some sort of gasket sealer or do I really have a larger problem now?

    Driveshaft end to crankshaft socket spline lubrication

    Just reassembling this gem after resealing gearcase and with powerhead separated from exhaust housing.....for a second time....don't ask. :) The OEM manual says to use a mix of "one part molybdenum sulfide" (I am guessing that is just grease) "to 40 parts OMC Sea-lube Anti-corrosion Lube." I...

    6 HP Evinrude lower bearing seal

    Just reassembling this gem after resealing gearcase and with powerhead separated from exhaust housing. I am using mostly new components for the lower bearing seal assembly. Before I drop the powerhead back on I was looking at the seal in its place at top of driveshaft and wondered whether it...

    Best Water Pump for 6hp 1969 6R69M Johnson.

    My o-ring was still there....beaten up a lot. :) This "extra" piece definitely appears to be the same material as the carbon seal and is a great fit....sure seems purpose built/designed. In the picture you see the carbon rotor (1) .....the mystery piece (2)....and the new o-ring. (3) I know...

    Repair and reseal of the gearcase... The part that my service manual calls the gearcase head, OMC part #0382291 has an oil seal that I cannot get out to replace it. Had the same problem with the drive shaft seal in the impeller housing. Went at it from the back side with a drift...

    Evinrude 1990 8HP lower unit separation and reinstall for impeller replacement

    I am replacing the impeller and when I removed the L/U the drive-shaft stuck in the powerhead and the lower end came out of the gearcase. I have removed the shaft now and cleaned up the upper end. Should I be able to just replace he shaft in the lower unit or are the seals going to be...

    1975 E/rude 6 HP lower unit, water bypass cover, orientation question

    Took apart lower unit to re-seal it. While I was in the process, I decided to repaint it. I stripped and masked to do a better job and there is one part that I removed that I am unsure of how to replace. The part is referred to as the water bypass cover. It is a rectangular plate ~ 1/8" thick...

    Rope size OMC small O/B "standard" recoil start

    I have an Evinrude 6 and an 8 hp O/B. The 8 HP has a frayed recoil start rope. I am going to replace it before it breaks, and by the time I follow the manual and do the 8 HP, I may as well do the 6 as well while it is still fresh in my mind. The shop2evinrude site does not even list the part...

    Windows application error - 0xc0000022

    I have suddenly started getting this error when opening Acrobat Reader DC. I uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Reader, but no joy. Short of R&R of Windows 10, not sure what to try. Any ideas? Try an older version of the reader?
