Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

The clutch dog is still available for your motor. It is part number BRP 329795. List price is about $100. Same clutch dog as the 5.5-7.5-6-9.5 hp motors from 1956-79 (I believe).

Sorry to hear about the accident, but don't beat yourself up over it. These things happen. I do have to agree with CAT, though. When I was 19 I damaged my millionaire uncle's beat up old work truck. The repair cost about $500, which is about what the truck was worth. I still paid for the repairs and was glad to do it. He later told my folks how much he admired me for doing so.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

but man back then 500$$ was like 50k back then lol or like 5k but my mom said the guy said that one can of paint was like 800$$ i mean i wrecked a boat that was worth more then me man. but ya it had 2 300hp optimax engines like the racing kind xs or something but man it was sweet lol he said he worked at some photo copy busness man he probably owns the business.

anyways ya im going to try to adjust the shift rod first then test it out and see how it does cause i think its that cause i remember before i did work on it i put it in gear fine and nuetral and reverse with no jumping and i advances the throttle no jumping


i just hope i didnt damage anything do u guys think i did? cause like it jumped and i wanna fix this incase i have to full throttle it to back up lol it would suck if i hit someone from behind

Actually, the cost of living calculator puts that $500 at $739.10 today. I'm not as old as you think. Also, CAT's $35 in 1962 would be $247.55 today.

No boat is worth more than you. A boat is just a thing. Nothing is more precious than life.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol my dad is bugging me and wow if i remember my dad said that my grandfather bought his ski boat with a 50hp critchfield 14ft. for 2k lol about that time i think 1960's. ya but i dont even think that guy is supposed to ahve that boat even on the lake the limit was i think 23ft and it was a pretty big boat my toon is only 20ft lol. lol ya i know but i wish i got injured from him and i was able to sue then he forgot about the damages just enoug injury for me to recover from like bleeding a cut lol. but ya i hope this guy i good cause man he can practically black mail me of course id tell the police lol what a loser.

ya man ill try theadjustment first then run it on the ropes at my house its deep enough lol so ya i think me acceleration was the pressure tank problem

Hmmm. Wanting to sue him, eh?
I'll bet if you act properly and try to do what is right, the fellow you hit will bend over backward to treat you right. Very few people will take advantage of young people. If you aren't careful with what you say and do, he may teach you a lesson. And some lessons aren't fun. Do you really think he's a "loser"?
be careful,

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol ya i know he practically owns me now.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

You're a young fellow. You made a mistake and damaged someone's boat. Own up to it and find a way to pay the man.

He's not a jerk or a loser. He didn't do anything to you. He wants the boat you damaged repaired. You would want the same thing if the situation was reversed.

You're not going to get any sympathy here. We're all adults here, and most of us have had to repay someone for a mistake we made. It's just life. It's too bad you have to pay for damage you caused. Just pay the man, whatever that takes. If you don't have that much money, you can pay him in installments. Or, you can sell something you own to pay the man, if he isn't interested in installment payments. Or, you can ask him if you can work for him to pay off your debt to him. You might be surprised and find that he'll hire you to do that and, if you do a good job, you might have a job even after you're paid up.

But, for the love of Mike, please stop whining here about having to meet your responsibilities. Please.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ya i think i will try to work off some of it but my dad said he will pay for it but im still going to work some of it off if i can

and ya i know i was just mad still kinds still am and how could i be and idiot not to notice a huge boat coming through lol

if he made a sratch on my boat it wouldnt matter cause the thing is probably worht like 500$$ and all the paint is gone and it probably damage his more then mine lol but ya if i had something like him it would depend how much it would be lol

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

k i payed the guy and ya so its ovr i guess... 550$$$

well to my other problems so this wont happen again.

ok i need to replace the cables on my boat for the steering.
any ideas on how to do this? tips! please...

and my gear shifting problem ill probably do this weekend. by taking the motor off the boat and dropping the gearcase and should i open the gear case back up and check the clutch? and what about the washers? would i be able to reuse them i hope so...

So is your steering cable over sheave with a drum on the steering wheel? or is it a push-pull single cable system? Cable for the cable over sheave system is available from boat dealers maybe or some of the bigger hardware stores? Don't know for sure. And then it's just a matter or re-running new cable. And setting the proper tension. Make sure to inspect all the sheaves and stuff while you're at it.

And if it's a push-pull system then it's just a matter of getting a new cable the right length for your boat.

As for the shifting I would definitely remove the cover over the connector first and check to make sure the rods are both seated in the connector properly. After you've verified that they are connected properly I'd check the adjustment at the shift lever itself. There has to be some reason why it's not going into gear fully like it used to.

And yes, 32oz. to 6 gallons is indeed 24/1 so your good there.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

the steering is the kind with the really ong cable and its around around on both sides of the motor. which either pull its one way or it pull the other way. i think this is called the pully system? its not the newer system that new boat use by the way.

no i know there connected but i dont think that there in the connector all the way u know? and do u guys think my gears r damaged cause previsuly before i fixed it the gear case was in perfect condition

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok well do u guys really think i need to take the gearcase apart...? would i be ok if i just try to re-adjust the shift rod again then test it out again?

and if i do take the gear case im going to have to refill the gear case with oil. would i be able to reuse the washers?

Not only that, you will also have to re-seal the gearcase so it doesn't leak water.

You really shouldn't re-use the washers.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

its only been like a week or two with the washers on the motor and ya ill wait on the gearcase checking then and see what i can do about the adjustment

 

[Sea18Horse]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

I would be very surprised if you did any permanent harm to your clutch dog or gears. I certainly wouldn't tear into it until after you have made sure the shift rod is connected right. After you make sure of that I'd suggest that you adjust your shift lever so that it engages forward just a bit more deeply than it does reverse. Because you'll almost always be applying more power in forward than reverse. Then once you get the steering fixed take it and try it out!

After that if you still have problems then take the gear case apart. And as Eric says you will want a seal kit.

Personally I'm not sure I buy in to the whole "you gotta use new sealing washers every time" thing. I've been fixing cars for a living for a loooong time. And I've reused drain/fill plug gaskets dozens/hundreds of times. And there just is not that much difference. Now certainly if you drain your lu and find water then new drain plug gaskets would be the first step in diagnosing the problem. But I think (and this is just my personally opinion) That replacing them every time is overkill.

At like $0.50 apiece, its fairly cheap insurance to make sure you don't have a leak into the lu due to a faulty vent screw/drain screw washer. Its not like you change out the lu oil every week, after all.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok ya i know replace washers. and ya i get to adjusting it then get new cable and ill make sure to meausre it so i can get about the same length.
