    Minnkota trolling motors

    I have a 70 lb hand controlled maxxum and a 65 lb foot controlled edge, can I swap out the heads on these to make the maxxum a foot control? I like the mount better and the shaft is longer on the maxxum.

    I am currently working on a 1985 Evinrude 115. I just got a new tachometer and am trying to get it to work with no success. I replaced the rectifier as the other one was not charging the battery. I am currently pulling a little over 13.5 volts on the battery now while running and 12.4 volts...

    Evinrude rectifier

    I have a 1985 evinrude 115 that the rectifier has stopped working on. I have been shopping around for a new one and from what I have found it is calling for part number CDI 193-5204 which is a 35 amp rectifier. My question is would it be possible to use a CDI 193-4204 which is the same form...

    Tachometer Wiring Troubles

    I have a 1985 Evinrude 115 that I am trying to hook up a new tach on. The old one never worked as long as I have had it. I checked the plug connections coming out of the control box and didnt have a signal on either pole. I hooked up the IGN pole to another 12v power source and ran a jumper wire...

    What goes here?

    The motor is a 1985 Evinrude 115 VRO. I was wondering if anybody could identify what goes in the bracket just below the starter solenoid. I downloaded the full 750 page manual and have read it front to back and still can't find anything. It appears to hold something that would be cylinder...

    What could it be?

    Took the boat out for the first time today after rebuilding the motor. Ran fine other than at about 2500 rpms and up there is a "pinging" sound. Wondering if it could be the exhaust shutters or perhaps a timing issue? I have a 1984 Century 3000 bow rider with a mercruiser alpha one and chevy...

    Need help with cylinder head ID

    I have a chevy 305 vintage 1980 - 1985 in my boat. I have a set of heads with the casting number 14102193 sitting in my garage right now.

    Power steering hose.....

    I have been looking around online for a power steering return hose and haven't had much luck. What I have found costs $100 or better. That just seems way too much for a simple hose with a fitting on one end and open on the other. Any ideas on where I might find one of these hoses? I have a 1984...

    Power trim issues.......

    I have a couple issues with my power trim. First, the trim motor just mysteriously quit on me. I used the power trim one weekend to raise and lower the outdrive for some maintenance and it was just fine.

    I'm Stumped!

    Just replaced the o-ring and prop shaft oil seals in my lower unit because it was leaking. Put it all back together and pressure tested it and same crapping thing! The o-ring was the original problem but I figured while in there I would replace the prop seals too. Now the dead gummed o-ring is...

    Lower bearing carrier nut......grrrr

    I am having one heck of a time getting the nut to break loose on my merc alpha one lower unit. I broke the end off a brand new 1/2" drive breaker bar today messing with it. Are there any secrets to achieving this seemingly impossible job? I bent the tab back. The nut is not corroded at all. I am...

    Prop shaft seals?

    I have read the manual and I still can't seem to figure it out. How do the go in? Does the inside one have the spring facing the back of the boat? What about the outer one? Mercruiser alpha 1.

    Water Inlet Tube

    I am in the process of replacing the bellows on my 1984 Alpha One and when I put the water hose on it always wants to kink. Is this normal? Seems like it would make it crack at the kink over a couple months. Any ideas?

    Got a little leak.....

    Just put a new water pump in my alpha 1 unit and now I have a leak. I put a new O-ring on the vertical drive shaft and everything and now I see fluid seaping down the shaft. Is it possible that I have over filled the units? Is this O-ring designed to keep the fluid in? I am at a loss here.
