    Boat dimensions

    We have a 1974 17.5 Glastron tri-hull and would like to order a bimini top for it. However, I don't know the width and it is currently in winter storage two hours away. Does anyone have an estimate of the boat's width?

    What is best prop for my boat?

    We have a 17' 1972 Glastron Tri-hull with a 1988 Johnson 150GT outboard. We are working with our mechanic to determine the best prop for this boat. We do little pulling of wakeboards and tubes, but will mostly be just cruising the lake and some fishing. Any suggestions?<br /><br />wrj

    Idaho outboard mechanic needed

    We've got a 1979 Evinrude 150, which we've had problems with going to WOT. Seems to want to stall whenever we let it set for 5-10 minutes at idle or off. Most of the time we can only get up to about 1500 RPM's before it stalls. After fighting with it last year, I'm ready to take it to a good...

    Winterizing boat

    I've read the previous posts on preparing my boat for storage and have read the manual and understand the process. The boat will be stored in a covered storage unit in an area that routinely gets down to zero and below for long periods. Is there anything additional I should do before putting...

    Air silencer gaskets

    I was reading my manual for my 1979 Evinrude 150 V6 last night and it indicated that when I remove the air silencer cover to get to the carbs I should remove the gasket and discard it. It also said I should discard the gasket between the air silencer and the carbs. I've had my air silencer off...

    Correct spark plug

    I have a 1979 Evinrude V6 150. I am getting ready to change out the plugs because they show signs of wet fouling. The currect plugs are L77JC4. The manual says to use UL77V or QUL77V. What is the difference?

    As noted in other posts on this site, I've been have problems with the motor stalling when trying to go to WOT. Have previously replaced fuel lines and primer bulb. The prior owner has rebuilt the carbs a couple of times, most recently in July when we first experienced the problem. I ran the...

    Evinrude ignition system question

    I was comparing the ignition system on my 79 Evinrude 150 V6 to the service manual. The manual talks about the terminal board for each power pack. I assume they are saying each power pack has its own terminal board. However, mine has only one terminal board on the port side. Does this make...

    Oil/grease dripping from prop

    When I lowered my outboard last night, I noticed it started dripping a heavy oil/grease from behind the propeller. Where is it coming from and what should I do? I'm completely new to owning a boat. The motor is an Evinrude 150 from my latest information.

    What type motor?

    I just checked the model numbers for my evinrude outboard. I was told it was a 1978 175 hp. But on further checking of the numbers, I'm not so sure. The number on the side of the mounting bracket says 175749S. However, the stamp on top of the powerhead says 150949C. I know the prior owner...

    Can't get Forward w/o Losing Reverse - 79 Evinrude 150 V6

    Backed away from the dock and went to go forward. No forward gear. Motor just revved up. I had worked on the fuel lines a couple of days earlier and had moved the air silencer from the front of the carburetor without detaching the throttle and gear linkages. Finally adjusted the linkage and...

    What size prop is best?

    I have a 1972 17' Glastron tri-hull we bought used. It came with an Evinrude 175 outboard on it. I just checked the prop and its is 14 1/2 x 20. Is this the right prop for this to get the best performance? I realize that the motor is probably oversized for the boat, but am not planning on...

    Stalls going to WOT - 78 Evinrude 175

    Took the boat out again. Had a lot of problems getting it started. We had almost run out of gas the last time we were out. Finally had to prime it probably 20 times before it finally started. We have a 1978 Evinrude 175 VRO outboard. Primer bulb never did get hard. Ran great until we...

    78 Evinrude 175 stalls going to WOT

    We are new to boating and just bought a used boat with a 78 Evinrude 175 outboard motor. The previous owner had rebuilt the motor over the winter and assured us it ran great. The first time we took the boat out the motor cut out every time we tried to throttle up to full speed. He took the...
