    Evinrude 4 HP deluxe

    Hi, I have a 1989 four horsepower deluxe. It has the locking and unlocking mechanism for the tilt but it doesn't seem to have a tilt lock when it's in the fully upright position. I went to the parts break down and I couldn't see any locking levers. Did this motor not come with one? Matt

    99 Merc 90hp

    A friend of mine got oil in his oil 2 years ago and someone told him a fix with his thermostat. He did that and ran it hard for 2 years (no water) and now it's back. I talked with my marine mechanic friend of mine and he said these early carbureted 4 strokes are junk. No parts from Merc but...
