    Super Sport Bow support and storage ideas...

    I splashed my '71 Super Sport about 3 years ago so I guess it's "completed". Not really though as I have other modifications in mind. I would like some ideas from the starmada. The upper bow/gunnel support for the boat was a bugger to get out to replace the rotten face board with the faux wood...

    1989 Evinrude Lower unit

    Pulled out bearing carrier and put new seal on it. Lined up reverse gear, put washer on back side of bearing and put carrier back in bullet. I am so close to seating this back in but still 1/8" out from finished. I have very lightly tapped edges without movement of the carrier down. I followed...

    Evinrude Carborator Rebuild 50HP/1989

    Please let me know if there is a more detailed explanation of how to re-do the carburetors for a 1989 50HP Evinrude. I have a Sealoc repair manual for my engine but it lacks the detail I need to remove the throttle links. 1. I have the carburetor kit with float from iboats. 2. I have removed the...

    I have come to the mountain seeking knowledge great ones. I have a 1989 Evinrude 50 horse outboard. I'm not sure how many of the 1971 Johnson outboard 50 horse parts are inter-changeable with my current engine. Questions - 1. Does this outboard have enough inter-changeable parts with my '89...

    My 16 Foot Super Sport

    Re: My 16 Foot Super Sport Gonna paint up the cowl on the Evinrude next week. I searched for Evinrude paint colors without much success. So I took the cowl to the local automotive paint shop. Last summer the shop set me up with auto paint for my '97 Honda Accord and shot the back bumper and...

    "Tiny Tach" on larger outboards

    Re: "Tiny Tach" on larger outboards I did not have time to set up the tach and run the boat this week or weekend. I put earmuffs on a played with the tach in the driveway. It does not have a long lead so I put the tach on to the plug wire as it came out of the package. Got a idle rpm read...

    1997 Johnson 50HP Oil Injection

    Re: 1997 Johnson 50HP Oil Injection You could check the vacuum pulse hose that goes from the front (closest to the air intake) of the VRO pump to the bottom of the engine block. If that vacuum connection is not closed due to old crusty hose or a hose/hose clamp has vibrated or been bumped...

    "Tiny Tach" on larger outboards

    Re: "Tiny Tach" on larger outboards Wild Dog - I was hoping to find a combination gauge that had both speed and tach and save room on my dash. The GPS Fish/depth finder would be a separate deal. Those nifty GPS fish/depth finders show mph then would have room for a 2.5" tach on my little dash...

    My 16 Foot Super Sport

    Re: My 16 Foot Super Sport I figured out a way to get the through hull bilge port off. I used one of these little numbers from the inside of the hull and cut the stinker off. Put my new plumbing together will a little butyl rubber and I seem to be good to go.

    "Tiny Tach" on larger outboards

    I wonder if this type of tachometer will work on a 50 horse Evinrude. Not sure if it matter but it is a 1989 version. Hour / Tach Meter Install - YouTube Any thoughts?

    Conversion from VRO to non-VRO - '89 Evinrude 50 hook up particulars

    Re: Conversion from VRO to non-VRO - '89 Evinrude 50 hook up particulars This is what I have learned so far. The hose in question from the air intake manifold to the engine is the intake manifold drain and the hose takes the gas/oil to the lower cylinder. This hose keeps the engine shroud from...

    Re: Conversion from VRO to non-VRO - '89 Evinrude 50 hook up particulars I read the sticky before I started and it seemed very straight forward.

    Conversion from VRO to non-VRO - '89 Evinrude 50 hook up particulars

    Re: Conversion from VRO to non-VRO - '89 Evinrude 50 hook up particulars This was connected to the VRO pump and leads to the engine (crank case?). Is this hose the old vacuum pulse for the VRO pump? I think there will be a need to plug and clamp this hose. Correct?

    Re: Conversion from VRO to non-VRO - '89 Evinrude 50 hook up particulars Here are the hoses that come from the fitting above. Are these generic fuel lines or is this a marine application line only?

    Conversion from VRO to non-VRO - '89 Evinrude 50 hook up particulars

    Re: Conversion from VRO to non-VRO - '89 Evinrude 50 hook up particulars I plan to run new hoses so I simply cut these free from the VRO pump. Two of the hoses (top and bottom) went to the upper and lower carbs and the middle went to the primer solenoid. My question is - Will I re-install...
