    bidding on '65 Evinrude 35hp

    Seller says motor is in working condition, but has a small crack in lower unit. Long shaft, electric start, tiller handle and comes with remote control and cables. I was hoping to find another 1960s 33-35hp project motor, but didn't want a cracked lower though. Anyway, he was asking $180, but...

    verify waterpump part

    Where does part #54 (o-ring) go? From the diagram, it appears to go on the impeller housing. Mine did not have one, but there is an o-ring on the driveshaft just under the splines. Is this what the diagram is referring to, or should the wp have an o-ring? thanks. edit: '62 johnson 28hp

    Was wondering would these work for me? '62 Johnson 28hp. Can these push/pull controllers easily added to an outboard for throttle and shift? What else is needed? Also, the cables are 9' long. Can they be coiled or shortened and still work? I recall tashasdaddy had a project where he added...

    1962 Johnson 28hp gearcase removal

    Hi, All. I'm new to outboard maintenance. I have a project motor and one of the first things I need to do is to remove the gearcase and check the clutch dog.

    1962 Johnson 28hp

    Picked-up a 1962 Johnson 28hp (RX-10) as a project motor a couple days ago. The previous owner mentioned it sat for several years, but ran good before. So I took a gamble. It was only $50. Plus it came with a good 2 wheel metal cart. I tried to check compression last nite, but it was hard...

    '58 Evinrude 18hp, a good project motor?

    I wonder if this could be a good project motor for a newbie? I would like to learn and tinker over the winter. I can buy for $50. The motor is complete. The model number is 15024. It has been stored in an attic for years. The motor is too small for me, but I figure I could sell (or trade) it...

    motor stand/cart

    I finally completed my little project and wanted to share some pics. I found this little cart at the thrift store for $12.50. I didn't know what it was until I saw a lady cleaning at my job. It's one of those cleaning carts the kind maids use. Anyway, when I saw it I knew it had a second...

    1981 25hp vs. 35hp specs

    Hi, all. I'm a newbie with a 1981 25hp Johnson. My OMC service manual covers the 25hp and 35hp models for 1981. I was reading and trying to understand where the 35hp model gets the extra hp from? In comparing the Powerhead specs, seems most of the numbers are the same, e.g. piston displacement...

    length of hose on fuel tank?

    Just wondering how long a fuel hose can put on my gas tank, and still fuction properly? I would like to make my own hose (extra long) so I can move the gas can forward to help balance the load better. Ideally in the bow section. It would help especially if I'm boating alone. I use a bulb...

    Do you run your motor in winter?

    Do you run your motor in winter? Weather permitting of course. I'm a newbie, but it seems the longer they sit idle the more problems you have. Would it be safe to run it in a bucket/barrel during winter? What's the coldest temp?

    Anything wrong with a 1975 85hp Evinrude?

    I've been trying to sell my rig because I want a small tiller boat that's easy to store and trailer. My motor is not working and I'm willing to take a hit, but I had a couple folks basically say this particular motor isn't worth fixing. Is there something bad about the design of this motor...

    motor HP recommendation?

    Hi, All. I was thinking of trading my boat/motor in for a smaller HP motor. I have a 85HP Evinrude that needs work and I wouldn't mind downsizing for a smaller working motor. I see a lot of boat/motors for sale in the 10-25HP range. So my question is, would that be adequate for a 14-16 boat...

    1975 85HP Evinrude won't trim up?

    1975 Evinrude 85HP and it won't trim up. It's currently in the down position. When I push the trim switch up/down (the trim motor spins) and it will move veeerry slightly up/down. I hear the fluid is the easiest thing to check, but I have no idea how to get to it. I hear the fluid fill port...
