    Sea King 7.5

    I recently acquired a 7.5 hp Sea King (model k700 2107A). I've got a few questions: does anyone know the best fuel ratio to run? I've seen on several forums that some recommend as low as 25:1 but I've also found a sales brochure for these motors (several very similar to mine but my model wasn't...

    OMC Kill Switch Wire

    What is the wire color supposed to be for the kill switch (safety wrist lanyard) on the older OMCs? I just realized mine has never been hooked up since I got the boat (E140TXCUA).

    RPM Range

    I had to change my LU and I'm certain it has a different gearset (went to a V^ LU b/c availability & price). I know that change alone is heavily debated both ways but it's where I am at and I'm gonna have to test the prop I have and determine how big of a change a need. I've seen many different...

    Over-propped?

    First off I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I've got a 19 ft Bayliner that I'd estimate around 2700 lbs loaded. It's powered by a 140 HP Evinrude. The motor was original (actual gear ratio unknown) and performed well with a 13 3/8 x 17 prop. After a lower unit failure it was...

    prop shaft removal

    I've got a 1987 Evinrude 140 (E140TXCUA). I had a seal failure on the lower unit which ultimately led to seized bearings and a snapped driveshaft. I've replaced the lower unit and I'm using the damaged unit for my own personal learning experience by disassembling it. I cannot remove the pinion...

    E140TXCUA starving for fuel

    I just a 1987 140 hp (e140txcua); the VRO has been bypassed. I've got a below deck fuel tank. I put a cheap little inline fuel filter in place just to see if I've got any garbage in the tank and I replaced the fuel lines. When I start it up it seems to run the fuel out of the line faster than it...

    1984 E150ANCRS Tachometer

    I've got a 1984 E150ANCRS and not getting anything on the tach (every once in a blue moon it'll move but not consistently nor does it seem to coincide with actual engine rpm). I've got good voltage...12.xx...on the purple lead and a good solid ground on the black. Is there any way to check my...

    1984 Evinrude 150 stator

    I have a 1984 150 Evinrude, model # E150ANCRS. I recently lost fire/spark...at first it seemed intermittently (just on 3 cylinders) then altogether. I've already replaced the flywheel woodruff key for good measure. I may really show my ignorance but I'm not sure about the stator. I first though...

    150 Evinrude; No throttle in reverse

    I've got a 1984 150 Evinrude (75th Anniv Edition; Model #:E150ANCRS). Runs fine in forward gear but has almost no throttle in reverse. It "appears" to be a linkage issue as there is almost no travel on the engine end when in reverse. I've checked both ends and nothing seems blatantly wrong or...

    Ethanol or Non-E?

    I've heard from several people that it is best to use the non-E gas in outboards. While I don't doubt for 1 second that this is true, is it really a huge deal? Is the "normal" gas blend really detrimental? I am running a 1984 Evinrude 150. The VRO has been removed and I run pre-mixed gas & oil...

    Correct Thrust Washer?

    I have a 1984 Evinrude 150 and an OMC prop (p/n: 391202). I can find cross references on what thrust washer and/or hub to get for numerous replacement props (different brands) but no solid answer on the correct washer for this prop & engine combination. I've noticed that different props use...

    T Craft weight?

    I have a 1976 T Craft that I recently bought. It's 17'6".[/URL][/IMG] I am finding it extremely difficult to find information of any kind about this boat. I am specifically looking for an approximate dry weight but would appreciate any and all info I can get regarding the boat. I'm adding a...

    Pitch on 150 Evinrude?

    I have a 150 Evinrude on a 1976 TCraft deep V. I have no clue where to even start on determining what pitch would work best for me. I also have no clue about the boats weight (I can't seem to find info about it--if anyone can help with that please mssg me). I just want a good mid-range ride...

    Correct Hub?

    I apologize in advance for showing my ignorance......is a 15 spline prop interchangeable on any 15 spline shaft or is different for each manufacturer? I'm prop shopping and I know I need a 15 spline but wasn't sure if I had to get it specifically for my Evinrude or if just 15 spline was adequate.

    Torque Shift prop seized on shaft

    The boat I recently bought has a Land & Sea Torque Shift Auto Pitch prop that I need to remove (previous owner said it wasn't "acting right"). It is seized on the prop shaft. I have read many of the threads about removing props and have pretty much realized it's gonna have to be cut and/or...

    Evinrude 150 75th Anniv.

    I recently got a new boat with a 150 hp Evenrude. It is the Commercial motor; 75th anniversary edition. The model number is: E150ANCRS. I've found info on deciphering the model number but cannot find any info on this model number....even on the Evinrude site. Does anyone know where I may find a...

    35 HP Force seems weak

    Re: 35 HP Force seems weak Quick update and one problem found (hopefully the only one). I am NOT getting full throttle travel when in gear. I get WOT in nuetral but when in gear I'm only getting about half-throttle when "wide open". The following pics are 1-WOT in nuetral; 2-WOT in Fwd gear...

    35 HP Force seems weak

    Re: 35 HP Force seems weak Unfortunately I bought the boat used not too long ago and don't know it's entire history. It hasn't been sunk that I'm aware of. The boat seems light (I move it around on trailer by hand). I will take it out of garage and get better pictures and side view after work...

    35 HP Force seems weak

    I have a 1987 35 HP Force on a 1982 LamPro 14' tri-hull (I'm not sure of the boat's actual weight; it's rated up to a 70 HP). The engine seems to run well however it barely moves my boat. While I know I won't set any speed records with this combo I expected more than it's giving me. I can only...
