Does anybody know if you can convert the older side shift to the tiller shift style? I have a 1985 25hp was wondering, if it is possible to get the shifter and linkage off the 90's tiller shift and retro fitting it to the older models.
Have an opportunity to buy a '99 mercury 25hp from a buddy. I checked compression on #1 it's at 115psi #2 was at 90psi. My question is it worth the buy? My first thought is head gasket or lower crank shaft seal. He says it runs good and I trust this guy. Says its a little hard to start but when...
Need a little help figuring out this model number. I'm a Evinrude guy got a buddy with a 40hp mercury tracker serial number og194583. Guy he bought it from said its a '95. Any help would be a appreciated
I'm putting in new water deflectors on my motor, but I don't know where to put them. They were missing out of mine along without a thermostat. My manual doesn't tell me where they should be positioned in the water jacket. I have three. I have one part number 335602 and two part number 335603...
Those of you that use this app (iPhone) to view the forum can y'all use it? Every since it went down it keeps telling me that iboats no longer supports tapatalk.
Hey guys been doing a little research on possible parts to replace once the powerhead as been removed. I've been waiting on parts to finish my water deflectors and head gasket job. I rememberd back to one of my older threads concerning my water tube and pump goin back together. A member pointed...
Well I'm back again fellas. Here is my original post. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=524479&p=3553663#post3553663
Anyway since then I got a new thermostat which was my hunch in the first place along with a new gasket for the water jacket cover. But to my surprise there was no...
Have a pretty good idea I may have a cooling issue. First off, I put in a new water pump kit. At first I
couldn't get any water from the tell tale. So after seeking help from a professional boat mechanic we got her peeing. So I recently did a decarb and replaced my sparks plugs put fresh gas...
Performed a decarb yesterday evening. As directed in the top secret thread. Just before I ran out my little
Spray bottle of searoam. I sprayed to much and killed the motor. When I restarted it she seemed to be
missing and started back firing. I killed it let it set a min. Restarted it she was...
So buddy and I planned on doing a little night fishin tonight but we've ran into a problem. My buddy took his boat out last night and ran kinda shallow into a sand bar. On his way back to the landing his temp warning went off with a dribble out of the tell tale. Safe to say he sucked up some...
Alright first things first. I have replaced the water pump and have everything put back together and of course it doesn't pee. I rechecked the tell tale disconnecting it from the block and I can blow through it. The only thing I can think I could of screwed up was while I was reattaching the...
I'am looking at purchasing at 2008 1856 G3 Gator Tough boat with no motor. Trying to figure out what motor i can put on it and stay at bout 25 mph cruising with two men including my self. My buddy has a the same size boat in a Tracker Grizzly with a 40 4-stroke Merc and we can do the above no...
This is just out of curiosity. I have an 85 Evinrude 25hp. I just recivied my repair manaul. Thanks to iboats. Anyway I rebuilt my carb before i had the manual works fine. I discovered that according to the manual my motor should have a type II carb. The one thats on it is a type IV. When...
I'm about to test the Comression on my motor. How much pressure should be present and is there anything else I should look for? Its a 85 Evinrude 25hp.
I have cleaned and rebuilt the carb and replaced the spark plugs. When I hook the motor up to earmuffs it runs like a scolded dog. But when I put it in the lake it dosen't ever hit the power band. at WOT its doin bout 10 miles an hour. Its on a 1648 flatbottom so it should have no problem...
