    Fried Green Cylinders

    Crap! Rebuilt my 25 horse, 1975 'rude lower unit for slipping dog clutch at high power settings.<br /><br />Took it out today, started right up, solid forward gear, great fun motoring across the lake....for about 1.5 minutes when the engine slowly died, followed by a nasty smell. You guessed...

    Does anyone happen to know if the lower unit on a '71 Evinrude 25 HP is compatible/same as the '75 model?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Chris

    25 HP clutch dog

    I've got my Clymer manual and it's so generic I can't really tell just how much trouble changing out the clutch dog in my 1975 25 HP. It's manual start, no alternator.<br /><br />Symptoms: Periodic 'jumping' sound at WOT, then today, jumped completely out of forward at high speed. Has been...

    Define 'planing out'

    Over on the repair forum, some suggest that my 12 foot v-hull aluminum boat should plane out nicely with my little, recently overhauled '65 6 HP Evinrude, even at half to 3/4 throttle. Well, I'm not really sure how to determine this. Is it when the turbulence behind the transom smooths out...

    evinrude 6 throttle linkage

    The linkage on my newly rebuilt Evinrude 6 is rigged such that at WOT, the throttle butterfly is not quite all the way open; maybe an eighth of a turn more to go before the external linkage reaches the stop. Little 12 footer won't quite plane out and would like to get as much out of her as...
