Hello all. I bought a 1984 Kennedy Craft last year with 25 Evinrude on it. I have taken the Evinrude off and replaced it with 1992 Mercury 40EPTO. The first couple times I ran the boat, it trimmed out great and ran at 42mph (GPS). My wife and I went to the river last week, and the nose of the...
I have a 14' Kennedy that I bought last year. I put a Mercury 40hp classic on the boat earlier this year, installed a steering console and went for test run yesterday.
When I got the boat up on plane and trimmed motor out, I looked back over my shoulder only to see the boat was taking on water...
I bought a 90 Merc 40 Classic for my boat and carried it out last month to test run it. The switch box was bad, only getting fire on two cylinders. The boat hit a top speed of 5.2 mph!
The question I have is this, I found a switch box off a mid 70's 85hp. The switch box was put on the 85 a...
I have a 1990 Mercury classic 40hp that the cowl latching mechanism is broken and I can't get the cover off to get into the motor. The latch handle was broken when I bought the motor but now the latching mechanism won't release when I move the handle with a pair of pliers.
If anybody can help...
I am kind of new to the whole buying a prop game. I have a 94 Mercury 40 that I bought for $100 the other day that needs a prop. My boat is a 13.5' Kennedy Kraft and I don't know what size prop to order, as I am looking at the props here on iboats website to order (no mercury dealers within 100...
I have a 1979 35 that I bought last week for an incredibly low price. It wasn't running so, I rebuilt the carb, had to replace 1 ignition coil, and plugs to get it to start. This motor was an electric start with stick steering.
I have another 1979 35 that I bought for parts that was a tiller...
I have a fiberglass v-hull that the transom measure 18" in the center and 16" on the outsides. I just bought a 79 model Evinrude 35 and want to know how to make this work....I bought the boat 2 months ago with a 25 short shaft on it. The 25 short shaft runs great but I want to put it on another...
I have a 1980 35, model E35TCSM that has a bad lower unit. The clutch dog rounded and wore the forward and reverse gears down pretty bad.
I have been trying not to bite the bullet to buy a new gear set for this foot because I am currently on a very limited budget, so.......I found a 1979 35...
The gear set is bad in the lower unit on my dad's 35. I told him I would buy the parts and replace the gear set in the foot. However, I have since lost my job and cannot afford to replace the gears.
The question, I guess, is will a lower unit off a 1983 25 work? Would this change the horsepower...
I bought a boat and motor from a guy a couple weeks ago. The boat is an 84 model but the motor, an evinrude 25 is prior to 78 according to an OMC shop close to the house because it still has a pin drive lower unit.
What I want to know is if there is a way to convert it or even replace it with...
