    1959 Evinrude 5.5hp 5518 prop install

    1998 Force 90 HP

    So after putting a new starter on my 1998 Force 90 HP outboard and putting on new the water pump, I hooked up water and started it. It cranked on first try but cut off after about a second but kept making a loud sound. It wasn't the overheat siren. Turning the key back to off didn't do anything...

    Correct Impeller kit?

    I ordered an impeller kit for my 1998 Force 90 hp outboard a few weeks ago. I got the Sierra 18-3570 from iboats. Is that the right one? I already put it in, but it is still struggling to get water out the tell tale. Thanks!

    1991 Bayliner Capri Restore

    Hey everyone, I have a 1991 Bayliner Capri, 1800 I think, not exactly sure. When pulling up the carpet, I noticed some wood was rotting at the back of the ski storage.
