    Shifting adjustment?

    E25teerc '94 25hp If I turn the dial on the cable I can get the boat to shift in and out of gear as it should but it won't start because the neutral safety switch isn't allowing it to start. So the way it been since I've had it is that it goes into forward and reverse fine but to go to neutral...

    Thermostat

    To replace the thermostat on my '94 25 hp I think I have to remove the cylinder cover. If I order a thermostat kit does the cylinder cover gasket come in the kit or do I need to order that aswell. I don't see it listed in the kit, which one would think that if you got a kit it would have all the...

    Throttle trouble

    I have a 94 Evinrude 25 that has ran fine until I took it out yesterday. On the previous trip I ran the gas tank empty on accident but filled up and kept going fine. Yesterday I got about a mile from the ramp and it's puttered and died. I could start back up and had a slightly rough idle but...

    opperating temp?

    I recently added a sending unit and temp gauge on my 94 Evinrude 25 2stk. It reads 58-60 degrees. The head of the motor never feels warm to the touch and the front half of the motor and carb have condensation running off of it and is very cold, like ice cold, to the touch. I have been storing...

    Nsf18b2

    It looks to me that to remove the lower unit I need to remove two pins from the shift linkage. Will I hurt or bend anything using a punch set and can the pins be reused? If these are not the proper steps please enlighten me. Thanks

    Trim level

    I hear people say trim motor to level with water when boat is floating which makes me think it is stationary and I also hear level to water while on plane. Are they basically the same? I think my skiff rides with the bow slightly higher on plane then when is is adrift. I'm referring to a manual...

    Oil light

    Oil light stays on. Took it to shop and they said sensor was bad and ordered a new one, told me it would be fine as long as I knew there was oil in it keep using it until the new one came in. Two weeks later new one comes in and I replace it and light is still on. I haven't had the boat long and...

    Nissan 18 2009

    I have a new to me Nissan 18 on a 2009 J14 Carolina Skiff. The engine started cutting up on the lake today. Mostly at higher rpms it would act like its bogged down or starved for fuel. At an idle it speeds up and slows down from a medium high idle to a slow lope. So I drained the tank and put...
