    Reputable source for a long block ?

    Looks like I will be replacing the power head on my 1995 E200TXEO. Can anyone recommend a source for a long block ? In the interest of time, I'd rather buy a rebuilt one and send my core later as opposed to having my block rebuilt, but I will consider both options. Thanks in advance.

    200HP TXEO seized up- Options ?

    About a month ago, my boat took on lots of water. Didn't know it right away, but some saltwater got into the oil tank and obviously got drawn into the engine. After I realized what happened, I drained the oil tank dry and refilled with clean, fresh oil. Purged the oil line and ran the engine to...

    Replacement parts for a 23F ?

    Does anyone know of an aftermarket source for parts of a 1995 Wellcraft 23F walkaround ? I need to replace things like the in-deck fishbox covers and the moulded plastic trim around the motor well. I have attempted to deal with Wellcraft but I never hear back from them. Jim

    Fastrak motor orientation ?

    Last year, I had some work done on my 1995 200HP tilt/trim unit. This year, the tilt / trim was dead. I found the cause of the problem was the wire insulation was worn off where the wires go into the top of the 12 volt motor. I think they are getting crushed when the motor is trimmed down. Can...

    23F Fuel sender replacement ?

    The fuel sending unit in my boat has not worked for 2-3 years. The biggest problem is that the sender does not sit under the removable deck plate above the fuel tank. It is off to one side under the rigid deck. Does anyone know of any tricks to get the sender out without cutting a bigger hole...

    1995 E200TXE0 200HP dirty carbs ?

    After speaking with several people who should know, the reason my engine runs like crap at low speed is probably dirty or clogged jets in one or more of my carbs. How difficult is it to remove a carb and check the jets? What, exactly would I be looking for? The engine misses and runs rough at...

    1995 200HP wont idle- Recirculating system

    My 1995 200HP Evinrude EXP200TXEO ran fine when I winterized it last fall. Since I brought it out of hibernation, it runs very rough and stalls often at anything less than around 1,200 rpm. I ran it from a seperate fuel tank with fresh gas, replaced the in-line fuel filter, and replaced the...

    1995 200HP Evinrude VRO pump ?

    I am having a problem with this engine. From the first time I ran it this year, it will not stay running after I get it started. It will run for a minute or 2 then peters out and dies. I have replaced the spin on fuel filter/ water seperator and the in line fuel filter in the engine. When I...

    1995 200HP Tilt /trim motor replacing ?

    My electric motor that drives the tilt /trim pump is a ball of rust. How difficult is it to replace the motor itself? Can it be done on the boat? Or does the entire tilt / trim unit have to come off first? Any tips would be welcome. Also, the manual I have refers to a TNT (tilt N trim) module...

    Remove masking tape residue

    Last year when I painted the bottom, it rained before I could remove the masking tape at the waterline. As anyone who has had this happen knows, when you do remove the tape, much of the glue stays behind on the hull and looks really bad. I remember reading somewhere that there is a common...

    Damaged fiberglass

    Last fall, the side of my 23 foot Wellcraft took a beating from a pole it was along side. The side of the hull did some flexing, causing surface cracks in the fiberglass below the gunnels. What is the best way to repair damage like this ? The damage is confined to an area of a few inches around...
