    Link & Sync and Timing on Type II CD Flywheel Magneto Ignition With Sensor Coil

    Hi, I'm struggling to get my head around the relationship between timing and link & sync on an Evinrude 1989 20HP E20ELCEM. I don't have an OEM manual, trying to get by with a SELOC, but while the link and sync bit makes sense there's very little in way of explanation around setting timing /...

    Prop Damage and WOT RPM.

    Hi all, Fairly new to this -- the pic below is of a 10"x13" prop fitted to a 1989 Evinrude 20HP ELCEM on the back of my 17ft fibreglass boat. I dinged the prop on the bottom returning to a mooring at low tide, and did a bit of damage. My question: is it safe to stick with this prop until...

    Tachometer readings by measuring an engines sound

    I was looking for hand-held tachometers last night to check the Idle / WOT RPM of my 20 HP BE20ELCEM when an i-Phone ad came on the telly. "Hmmm...," I thought, "I wonder if there's an app for that?" A quick search of apple's app store revealed the Engine RPM app. I then went on to find this...

    Gear Ratio and RPM measurement on 1989 Evinrude 20HP E20ELCEM?

    Can anyone tell me what gear ratio was used on a 1989 20HP Evinrude (E20ELCEM)? Have a slightly damaged prop after an unfortunate encounter with the bottom (think I hit a disused mooring with no marker buoy at low tide :( ). Before I order a new prop I want to check that the existing size /...

    Shear pin...what shear pin?

    Moving away from the mooring today at around 4KT on a lowish tide when the motor hit something on the bottom. Jumped a bit, then carried on running fine. I stopped, checked the prop... a bit of damage to the outside of the blades but nothing too drastic. I mentioned this to my father-in-law...

    What kind of boat is this?

    Hi all, Seems like a strange question, I know, but I haven't got a clue who manufactured my boat, what year, how heavy she is, etc., etc. Here's a photo: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OzZAoeETr8G4Ysx9rlCt0ztXH_tyPYoyBvT0KcBORKI?feat=directlink It was down on the docket as a Shetland...

    Could too long fuel hose cause fuel problems?

    Hi, Quick question. I'm having problems with a 1989 Evinrude 20HP. It will start when primed but then quickly dies at idle and won't throttle up. There doesn't seem to be enough fuel getting to the engine. I've checked all the external fuel connections for leaks / re-sealed them and all seem...

    Which Shetland model is this?

    Hi all -- great forum! Just getting into boating, and have a little Shetland 17ft (ish) day boat that I'm going to use for fishing / day trips around the West Cork coast in Ireland. My question is: which Shetland model is she? Originally I thought she was a 535 or 536, but now I'm not so...
