1983 70hp Evinrude ELCTE 20” transom
Despite being responsible and carefully labeling parts when I disassembled my gear case to replace gears/pinion/clutch, suddenly I’ve found a random washer on my work bench as I put it all back together. I believe it ended up there inadvertently and doesn’t...
Motor is a 1983 Evinrude 70hp ELCTE. So I'm having issues shifting into reverse. It will shift smoothly from time to time, but not often. I'll start by saying that last year my throttle cable snapped (that information may be helpful to you). I replaced it with a new identical cable. Went out for...
