    Water tube

    Being smart won't get you any help. #9 in the attached diagram is the watertube which has to be shortened. Perhaps you can post a diagram showing the showing the "tube above that point" to which you refer.

    Finding information on my mysterious Evinrude 4hp...

    A wise measure with a "new to you" motor unless you know for sure that the impeller has been changed recently. .

    Finding information on my mysterious Evinrude 4hp...

    Some of the above information is misleading A 1988 model is rather different to the older models referred to and illustrated. It does not have a reverse gear but it does have a clutch so there is a shift rod which will pull out of the gear case as this is separated from the "leg". The water pump...

    Finding information on my mysterious Evinrude 4hp...

    I think you will find your 4Hp does not have a telltale so as racerone says the only indication you have that it is pumping water is a mist or a few droplets blown out of the exhaust back pressure relief port on the back of the leg I'm not sure what type of case your motor has but if it is the...

    E100TLCSC

    I believe your TL model has a 3 wire rectifier and a separate regulator I agree it seems likely that the regulator has failed but check the connections and that it is wired correctly before buying a replacement. You will find a wiring diagram here...

    E100TLCSC

    But you would not expect it to increase to as much as 15 volts if the regulator is working properly, around 14.4 should be the maximum for an ordinary FLA battery. That said engines without power T&T may have a lower amp output stator and no regulator. The volts can rise higher but the maximum...

    E100TLCSC

    The regulator is suspect but check the connections and check there is battery volts on the purple wire when the key is in the normal running position.

    1984 Johnson J6SLCRM Water Pump Access?

    I have the Evinrude version Had it since new and changed the pump impeller several times As the others have said all you have to do now is unbolt the 5" extension, but clean up the drive shaft first so that it slides easily through the bush in the extension. When reassembling I find it best...

    Older 6hp Johnson - Oil Leak Between Upper and Lower Unit

    You are looking at the the oil leaking in this area? That is almost certainly oil from the fuel, or perhaps as suggested excess oil from winterising. As said there is no gasket in that joint so oil seepage is normal and nothing to worry about. If you cannot confirm that the gearcase oil has...

    Understanding the numbers on my boat?

    It appears that in year 2000 there were several 50hp Johnson models, all 2 strokes, and one Evinrude model which was a 4 stroke and in fact a rebadged Suzuki. The Evinrude model number was E50PL4SSC, Guess what the "4" in the middle of the number signified. If you have the model number you...

    1988 Johnson 4 Alternator

    ITYWF an AC lighting kit or a battery charging kit can be fitted to models with CDI ignition but not to models with points ignition because there's no place to fit the stator coil with the points ignition ones. I think in the case of regular, non de-luxe, models they have a battery charging...

    Copper crush washers ok to use?

    As already said Nylon is hygroscopic. It does absorb water and swells slightly. I thought that was well known but it is not going to be a problem with the gearcase oil screws. Acetal ( Delrin ) is used where this swelling is a problem. eg for bearings . It also has superior mechanical...
