The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I tapped the bushing and replaced the o ring. I also replaced the prop shaft seal and of coarse the gear case cover gasket. I don't have a way to test under pressure , but used my vacume tool and it held 20hg for at least 5 minutes so I think that's a well sealed unit.
I ordered the gasket , O ring for the front gear case seal and shifter rod o ring. can't find the shifter rod screw washer. I would like to replace the water pump but can't find a good part number. Where does the shifter rod o ring go, it looks like just a brass bushing ?
Just check the shift linkage , everything was good . Dropped lower unit and found the shifter dog and forward gear edges rounded off. The oil was a milkshake. I am going to replace the waterpump and gaskets and hope that seals it up. I found a new forward gear but I am having a problem finding...
Hi I got my 1960 10hp started today runs great but when you put it in forward it jumps out of gear. I think the clutch dogs are bad. Had that happen on 7.5 . I am going to try and take it apart in the next couple days. Anything I should check before I take it apart ?
Hi All , Got my 1967 Evinrude 3hp fired up today. Gas oil mixture 24:1 motor started right up but after running for a few minutes it started to screech like metal on metal. Shut it off immediately . Turns over fine, pulled the side cover off thinking I would see something , but everything...
Hi All On to my next issue. I have a 1960 10hp Evinrude and the choke lever won't stay out. I looked at the linkage and it all seems to be there, but it wont stay out. Is there supposed to be a spring clip or something on it? Not sure what I should be looking for...
Hi I have 3 older Evinrude outboards a 1967 3hp, 1960 10hp and a 1955 7.5hp. My question is this, what is the best gas/oil mixture for these motors ? I have read that 24:1 is the most preferred mixture . With the modern oils out there should I change from that ? I am going to be using the...
Hi I just got a 1967 Evinrude 3 horse and need to know what size fuel line goes on it. 1/4 inch is to big so my next guess would be 3/16 , would that be correct ? Also did these motors have a fuel filter on them ? would it be a good idea to put one on or won't it make a difference ?
Congratulations to F_R . I pulled the exhaust cover today and found two holes in it . Now the question is where can I get a new baffel plate and a gasket Thanks again guys for pointing me in the right direction.
I have a 1955 Evinrude 7518 7.5 hp. I had a problem with water coming out of the shifter shaft . I am not sure where it is coming from. I was told it could be the rubber bushing at the water pump/water tube connection or the base gasket at the power head or the head gasket. I bought all of...
