    old parts

    I know iboats is a great resource to find a lot of old parts. What about parts they can't get like lower units. Where do people go to buy/sell these? I don't want to put something for sale here and make anyone mad. Thanks in advance.

    Carburetor mounts.

    Two of the threads on the mounting bolts(?) have stripped. I backed out them out with a vise grip. Question, can a guy use a regular bolt or are their replacement parts for this item? They are not bolts, just threaded stubs. Thanks in advance. 1970 115 hp evinrude.

    1970 115 hp evinrude

    I thought I saw the answer to this on a different thread but couldn't find when I looked again. Saw on iboats that prop selection only goes from 1973 and newer when searching. Am I assuming these 1973 and newer props fit a 1970? Thanks.

    Inner/outer exhaust gasket replacement.

    Have a very slight leak coming out of the inner/outer exhaust. Seems like a simple procedure. Does a guy have to remove the t-stat in order to get the outer/inner exhaust covers? Is it easier to remove the AFT exhaust cover? 1970 115 evinrude

    1970 115 evinrude

    had this for a few years and she has ran real well for me. I noticed this year that she ran a little hotter than years past(temp guage installed). Didn't worry, since the place I was fishing was technically an idle speed only lake. Yesterday took it out on the river and didn't run it past 3/4...

    steering bracket modification.

    I have a 1970 115 evinrude that came with weird steering brackets that mount to the motor. They are C style clamps(2 of them) that have teeth to hold to the steering tube and attach to the motor with a single bolt. The teeth setup is really ineffective as it holds for only a temp. time then...
