    25hp SS/ on a 14' Aluminum Utility- Best Prop Question

    I just bought a 1996 25hp short shaft. I have it on a 14' aluminum utility that's had a couple padded seats and a small deck installed. Boat is pretty light but with 2 people and gear we're probably looking at 700lbs. I had to raise the trim pin up to it's 2nd highest setting or else the stern...

    25 HP 2stroke. 14' Utility, Best Prop Pitch

    I just bought a 1996 25hp short shaft. I have it on a 14' aluminum utility that's had a couple padded seats and a small deck installed. I had to raise the trim pin up to it's 2nd highest setting or else the stern drove itself into the water at the top end. Is this normal? Also, it needs a...

    1996 25Hp Short Shaft, Man Start--Prop Removal

    What size is the metal nut that secures the prop to the gear case on a 1996 25hp short shaft? Any special tricks to removing it. I tried with a pair of vice grips and had a good grip on it but it doesn't want to budge and I dont want to twist or strip anything. On my way to the hardware store...

    76' 9.9 Rebuild-Gel Seal and Soaking Gaskets

    Hello Gentlemen: Following the advice of 'bktheking' I've pulled the powerhead from my '76 9.9 Evinrude as I'm doing a rebuild. It's all broken down and I've pulled the crank case apart because the gel seal between the two halves was gone and it was pulling air. I have 2 questions: 1: When...

    Hello Gentleman: Back at this Evinrude 9.9 Model 10655R again after the last 2 summers of changing pretty much every part on the darn thing.

    1967 Evinrude Angler 5hp. Drive Shaft Length

    Ripping the motor down from a long-shaft and returning it back to the short. Got my hands on a used drive shaft 25" but it doesn't fit in length (splines are right) which is weird because the long drive shaft was 30" and there's supposed to be a 5" diff between the two. Any thoughts? Anyone...
