    1983 15hp Evinrude speed

    brother has a 20hp Merc that has been a PITA to use. Always hard start and multiple issues. I found a 1983 J15ecrm elec start evinrude and I have always been a Jonny/rude guy. He is worried that it will be a dog on the 14' blufin fisherman we have. Will we notice a big difference?

    1957 Evinrude 35hp Lark

    I have been sitting on an old Evinrude 35hp for quite a long time. What should I do. It turns freely and I think I could get it going but would I be better off letting it go to someone who will better appreciate it. Are these motors hard to work on. Are they RARE? i havn't seen many like mine...

    1973 50hp evinrude speeds up at idle

    When I leave my motor at idle the rpms will sometimes increas on their own. Its on the boat and in neutral and will still over rev. When I put it in drive and let it idle we have no issues. Just a little confused.

    1968 evinrude Cylinder Head

    I have a 1968 9288d 9.5hp Motor and the top spark plug thread is stripped. I was looking on the net for a possible head replacement and I have found them for $ 3.19. Can this be possible. the gasket is 15$, can the cylinder head be that cheap. It is labeled properly.

    Is it worth it?

    http://rochester.craigslist.org/boa/2322373561.html I have been looking for an openbow runabout and have no idea what to look for in a power plant. I have heard some aren't worth their weight in scrap...what about this package.

    should I hop on this.

    http://rochester.craigslist.org/boa/2309320269.html should i worry about the fact that it "runs hot" sometimes.....does that mean possible bigger issues. like warping, or scoring on the cylinder walls.....Will the fiberglass hull start to break down being 25 years old?

    Really dark Lower unit oil

    Picked up a nice little 9288D 1968 sportwin 9.5 and i went to drain the LU and the oil looks like syrup. It is really dark and oozes out. Can i just refill or should i try to clean it out. I'm hoping not to do a rebuild.
