    1975 15HP Evinrude Water Pump, I need a mechanic

    I'm having issues with the above motor. Bought it recently, ran it off muffs, there was some water flow out the discharge on the lower unit, but didn't seem sufficient flow to me.

    Need New Starter 115 Merc

    Hey all. Since I bought my 1989 Crestliner with 115Merc 4 Cyl used some years back, it would on occasion, have a hesitation where when starting the engine, the starter, would engage the flywheel and would take a half second before it would turn. Also on occasion, it would not engage the...
