I am trying to smooth out my 1990 Evinrude 30hp motor. I have it on a 16ft pontoon. I do not have a tach hooked up to it but I can hook one up to get some readings. I would like to get a 4 blade pontoon prop.
The engine stumbles and shakes at varies rpms. I have to adjust the throttle...
I have two 1989-90 Evinrude outboards. one 120hp and one 30hp. I disabled the VRO oil mixing and premix all my gas 50:1. In the past i have run XD30 and XD50 purchased from my Evinrude dealer. I noticed the Walmart has Evinrude oil now but its not labeled the same. I dont mind paying a...
I live on a small lake in upstate NY. I currently have a small pontoon and a 17.5 ft crestliner bow rider. As my family is growing, the bowrider is feeling inadequate. We keep both boats in all season and will pull the bowrider to go camping and exploring on other lakes in the area. On the...
I have a 1989 120 Looper and a 1989 30hp. (Both Evinrudes). I had a battery die on me one time while fishing with the 120 and I was able to sabotage a shoe lace and pull start the motor. It was a life saver that time. I would like to make up 2 emergency pull start ropes. one for the 120...
I have a 16ft pontoon that I restored. It is docked at the lake all season. I do not have power at the dock and no reasonable way to get power to the dock. THe pontoon is powered by a 1989 30hp Evinrude. I typically brought along a bluetooth speaker for tunes while floating but this year I...
I have a few questions about securing floating docks with pipes.
Does anyone use galvanized pipes with sliding brackets to secure their floating dock in place?
Do you use other things to secure the dock with the pipe? (Tie off to shore, anchor, something else)
Do you remove the pipes in the...
I have a 1989 Evinrude 30hp that has a gas leak somewhere. Every year the engine gets degreased and after a month it is covered in oil and oil is running down the leg of the motor. I cant find the leak to save my life! When I originally got the motor the line on the primer solenoid was broken...
I have a 1989 30hp Evinrude on my pontoon and a 1989 120 Evinrude on my Bowrider. both are low hour great running motors. The both suffer from the same issue, paint!. The paint is blistering on both motors and it makes them look like crap. I would like to paint the cowls and put new decals...
I need some help building a new dock. This will be my second dock build. My first dock build(the one I’m replacing) was a few sections of scaffolding and some 2x6s for decking! It worked great for the 10 years we used it but its time for a nice dock that we can maintain and fit our boats at...
I need some help with selecting a stereo for a old 16ft Crest II that I am restoring. Previously i have been using a portable bluetooth speaker which has worked great (EcoStone). Its not quit loud enough and it also provides the music at the beach/dock. I am looking for something to keep on...

Cant get tubes outside of the wake!
So I have been having a problem with getting the tubes to swing outside of my wake. I never had this problem before having kids. I could whip adults around like nothing. Since I have had kids there hasn’t been much adult rides. My kids are 5 and 6 and are...
I have a 1990 30hp Evinrude on my pontoon boat. I noticed that my lower unit oil is milkier than normal. I first noticed this when I did my mid season lower unit oil change in July. I replaced the seals on the drain and the fill ports. I refilled with new fluid and hoped it would come out...
I have an old pontoon that I'm breathing life into. I am looking for ideas on how to get water temps for swimming. I have a depth finder with water temp built in but I have no where to mount the transducer. There are no plates on the back olf the tubes. I also don't really want to wire up a...
I have a 1989 Evinrude 30HP outboard. I purchased the motor just recently to put on a small pontoon boat. The guy I bought the motor from said that he had a difficult time starting it but once it started it would run great. I looked to carb over and noticed that the electronic choke solenoid...
