    sudden power pack failure - Evinrude 115 v4

    That's what i was thinking. I ordered the stator and rectifier today. Any thoughts on the dark marks on the timer base? Could something have failed internally there too?

    sudden power pack failure - Evinrude 115 v4

    Engine is a low hour rebuilt 1982 evinrude 115 v4 (though i suspect previous owner reused many parts). Recently got the boat out of winter storage and it fired right up in the driveway, let it run for 10 min or so to check the temps/leaks etc. All good. Sat for 2 weeks and then i started it up...

Was scraping to clean the dirt/loose corrosion off to measure the depth and poked right through. Dept of the corrosion was .080" in the surrounding area. Found and cleaned...

    Fuel Tank Cleaning

    There is no foam or wood down there. Its all fiberglass on these earlier Glasply boats. Its in good shape too. All solid feeling and sounding. I think your right about how thin the material has gotten in those spots. Measured a few and they are 1/16" or so depth of material missing.

    Evinrude 115 v4 stalling in gear when cold

    I have a new to me boat with an early 80s evinrude v4 crossflow outboard on it. Had it out 3 times now and the engine runs perfect once its warmed up. When the engine is cold it will start immediately while holding the choke button in for ~5 sec then release and idle just fine but as soon as you...

    Evinrude 115 operating temp on muffs

    I recently picked up my first boat, a 19ft 1979 glasply runabout in amazing shape from the original owner really cheap (trailer needed work and boat needed a good cleaning). Has not been on the water since 2013. Outboard engine is a early 80s evinrude 115 v4 crossflow with low hours on a...
