I had one of these motors years ago. Was a great motor. I have a new boat that would really work well with a 70 hp motor so I considered the evinrude.. If they stopped using electronic shift what year should I look for . Really want to avoid the electric shift. Thanks
My 1992 mercury 25 2 stroke ran great. I upgraded to a larger fuel tank, That's when problems started. Left the boat in the back yard and the crappy Atwood tank swelled up and leaked fuel all over the place Hull had about a gallon in it. Well new tank (still atwood but I leave the cap vented...
My dad has this motor on his boat but at 72 his shoulders give him problems. I took a quick glance the other night and it seems to me that its just bolting up a started, Running some wires and a push button. Am I missing something obvious or is there more than a quick glance told me about this...
When I installed the trolling motor on my boat I had to remove the old bow light. In my search for a new might that would work with the motor I found the led strips. and I installed them on my boat. I heard someone on the reviews recently say they are not USCG approved and the wardens are...
Think I found a new motor for my boat but worried about the weight. It is right at the max HP rating for console steer in my boat. Just curious is there anywhere that has these numbers? thanks in advance

I am going to repower my fishing skiff later this year. Been looking for OMC motors 48 50 and 55hp and I recall some have an electric shift solenoid for the lower units I am trying to avoid that setup if I could Any pointed on what year they did away with it?
I took the boat out last weekend. Ran fine. Shut it down and started up several times to fish. No issues. Went to head back to the ramp and it was bogging down. Got back home. replaced plugs (needed it anyway) cleaned the fuel filter and ran fuel thru the open lines to the filter just to check...

last week I thought I spun the hub on my mercury 25 prop. needed a new prop anyway so I bought a new one with different pitch. Tried again and it still slipd when its trying to get up on plane. I haven't marked the prop to check because I brought it home to inspect gear lube. Everything seems...
I have acquired my grandfathers martin 75 outboard. It needs a few small repairs to run, but I cant order parts due to not knowing the year. I have researched it and think its a 1953 but not sure. Any help would be very much appreciated.
