    Trout Variety?

    Caught this the other day, never seen so many spots. Usually we catch rainbows, someone said it might be a brown. What do you think? It was caught in a small lake, just after ice out. Pretty sure this is a coyote on the ice, just cell phone pics so the zoom quality sucks.

    1976 75HP Evinrude - Question Boat Service Companies Evaluation

    I have a 1976 75HP Evinrude, I have rebuilt all 3 carbs and replaced spark plugs. I checked compression and spark on all cylinders. Service place is saying I have no spark on second cylinder. The boat runs high idling, and will die if you slowly accelerate the throttle under load. If I tap...

    I currently have a 14Ft Open Bow Seaswirl with a 1976 75HP Evinrude OB. The boat started out with a 40HP and I love the extra 35HP in the new to me engine.

    iBoats Forum Displaying Weird

    My son got a hold of my laptop, after about a billion key presses my iBoats menu displays vertically. Any clue how to fix it? I've tried clearing the cache and restarting the computer. Oddly enough it displays this way in IE as well as FireFox, that makes me think it's an iBoats specific...

    Rope Start Diffrences

    I previously had a 1984 40HP Johnson, my memories from having to pull start it were that it was so hard to pull start that we almost gave up trying to start it we got so tired from pulling the rope. I changed engines to a 1976 75HP Evinrude about six months ago. I had not had to try to pull...

    Maximum Spark Advance

    When checking Max. Advance on the water am I correct that as long as the timer base hits the stop the timing won't change if I push the throttle farther forward? Can I check Max by just raising the warm up lever high enough? Not sure if it is supposed to actually move that far by just the warm...

    I have a 76 75HP Evinrude, I am trying to figure out what would make an engine want to only idle higher that then recommended RPMS. Currently on muffs, and in a bucket (water only up to the cav plate) it will not idle below about 1100 RPM, After running in the lake it was more like 1300 not in...

    Steering Link Arm

    I need to know the part number for the steering link arm for a 1976 75HP Evinrude(75643D), I was not able to locate it on any parts diagram. If I am not calling it by its correct name it is the bar that connects between the steering cable and the motor. Also, Will a properly sized steering...

    Throttle Cam Adjustment

    1976 75HP Evinrude My understanding is the throttle cam rod should be 4 31/32 inches from the "end of the rod to the face of the yoke" Is that measurement from the farthest left side of the rod in the second picture? It doesn't appear to be the correct length unless you are measuring from the...

    Spark Plug Compatibility

    1976 75HP Evinrude New to me engine with NGK BP78HS-10 spark plugs installed. Marina suggested Champion QL77JC4 plugs. (They cross referenced it in a book) I put them in and the engine wouldn't even barely fire. I did a search and found that the QL78YC is the proper plug. Put them in and the...

    Contol Swap

    Would a 83 75HP Evinrude and a 84 40HP Johnson operate off the same controls? I am looking at trading my 40 in for the 75 and thought it would make things quicker if I didn't have to pull the controls off.

    What did my daughter catch?

    Went fishing today at the Shenango River Lake in PA my daughter caught this with a worm in about 20ft of water. Haven't the slightest clue what kind of fish this is. I would like to be able to tell her what she caught. Any help with the ID of it would be great.
