    Trouble Installing Carb on 1968 Evinrude Fisherman 6HP - Throttle Lever

    I'm a newbie to fixing outboards. I bought a model 6802R outboard, and it ran, but very fitfully. This year I took the carb off and cleaned it up. When I was replacing it I ran into a problem. Or honestly, I don't know if it's a problem, so that's why I'm posting here. ​Okay, when I took the...

    Attaching Transom to Tubes on an Inflatable

    I was given a Bombard Ax2 with a number of holes in it. In the past I've had great luck using HH-66 to repair PVC, and it seems to be working fine on the holes. However, I also noticed that the tubes are separating from the rubber transom supports (the rubber parts into which the wooden transom...

    Dowel Pin in 68 Evinrude Drive Shaft: Purpose and Replacement.

    Emergency / Kill lanyard for old Evinrude Fisherman?

    I'm rehabbing a 68 Evinrude Fisherman 6HP. Is there any way to easily install a kill / disconnect lanyard on this motor? I don't like the idea of the boat continuing to run, possibly injuring people, if I fall out or am knocked away from the throttle.

    Generic Equivalent of Evinrude 0311589 Oil Screw Washer?

    I have a 1968 6hp Evinrude outboard. The oil fill and vent screws use washer with part number 0311589. Dies anyone know the dimensions of this part, or know if I can find an equivalent in an auto parts or hardware store? I can order them, but (putting aside shipping is 10X the cost of the...

    Will Boston Valves Hold Air Using the Cap Alone?

    Hello, I have a Sevylor T68 dinghy. It has been a lot of fun, but this year it has a slow leak. I have tried soapy water, but no luck there. What I did discover is that two of the Boston valves leak, i.e. they don't work in just one direction anymore. A very slow, but steady, amount of air...
