    Evinrude 70Hp bogging in the water

    Hi all, I put my evinrude in the water today and was still bogging down under load. Thing ran fine with muffs in the driveway. Pulled the fuel pump and found a tear in one of the gaskets and an extremely dried out rubber diaphragm. I'm ordering a new pump, but curious if any others have had...

    Copy that is it the screws on the back? And in that case I have an extra drive coupler if anyone’s looking for one

    Evinrude Tilt Trim motor

    Should I turn the release valve and try to push them in manually to free them up? And just to confirm- the oil pump only gets a drive coupler in one of the two holes not in both of them?

    Does it need an engine on it to engage the trim rams?

    Evinrude Tilt Trim motor

    They’re out currently. The unit is not currently on the boat. So the large tilt works but the trim rams are stuck in the extended position. It’s like the two smaller ones are seized in position. I’ve tried to remove the cap but it’s stuck and my spanner wrench wants to slip out before I can...

    Evinrude Tilt Trim motor

    I got the replacement drive coupler and did a test. It moves the tilt cylinder but the 2 smaller ones don’t want to move. Are there 2 drive couplers or just one? I see two spots for them and I received two in the order off eBay but again I don’t know what I’m really looking at. Maybe just not...

    Evinrude Tilt Trim motor

    I did. I just realized the drive coupling is missing. Never worked on these so thank you racerone. I will get a replacement ordered and check back. If anyone has ever done a reseal on one of these let me know where you sourced parts or a kit from.

    Not sure what the drive coupling looks like. It’s a 2 wire. And yes the valve is tight.

    1978 Evinrude 70HP- Trouble starting/idling/bogging under load

    When you say I need to “find the pads” do you mean that my motor photos do not show pads? Like they are missing and I need to find replacements? Or my photos don’t show the ads? I’m confused a bit. And I don’t know about the wiring, I will have to do more digging and ask you guys another 45...
