Went out trolling for stripers over the weekend and we trolled for about 5 hours without any issues. Then all of a sudden I heard my alarm go off. It was a steady tone for about 20 seconds then turned off. I checked the oil, checked that it was still peeing, and all was well. We trolled for...
I like doing things on my own and typically don't give up easy. However, I am pulling my hair out! I bought a 1997 Evinrude 25hp (e25reum) from a buddy and it hadn't been run in a year. My buddy said it ran rough the last time he had it out and started barely peeing.
First thing I did when I...
Hey All!
Just recently acquired a new to me 1997 25hp Evinrude and I have some questions I am hoping someone can help me with. (I did use the search button and couldn't find what I needed). The model number is "E25REUM"
1- I am trying to find a manual for it. In my searches I read that the...
Kind of irritated right now but I will get over it :) I am curious on what everyones thoughts are. I mounted my regular transducer and my side scan transducer and it wasn't till I finished mounting them that I realized my livewell intake is right in line with my side-scan transducer. Do you...
I just got done re-wiring the boat. I tested all the accessories and they worked great. I then went to crank engine and I blew the battery fuse which was 100 amps...
I don't think there is an issue with it being connected wrong... I'm kinda thinking 100 amps is to small when cranking a 200hp...
I have been very luck in the fact that I haven't had many engine issues since I bought this boat last year. Well Saturday morning I was on the water doing some trolling when I heard a steaming noise and looked back to see that my motor was no longer peeing and steam was rolling out of the pee...
I am replacing the transom on my 1648 jon boat. The wood that I pulled out was a solid piece 1.5" thick. I went to the store and bought a non-pressure treated 8x6x2 and cut it down to match the old piece. I was getting ready to put some coats of spar urethane on it and was told that I should...
I have a stupid question that I believe I already know the answer too but figured for piece of mind I would ask it anyways...
I am running a 16' Lowe Big John (double wide) boat with a 2002 25hp Tiller Handle 2stroke outboard. When I was out running it by myself yesterday for the first time I...
So lets just say some dummy decided to do the following:
25hp Mercury 2 stroke
1 gallon of correctly mixed gas/2 stroke oil currently in tank.
Dumb dumb pulls up to get gas and puts in 3 more gallons forgetting to add 2 stroke oil. However he was dumb/smart enough to remember to add Marine...
Sorry all I have another dumb question. I just want to make sure I am starting my engine correctly as I do not have an owners manual. However another member was nice enough to send me a service manual.
Anyways, if someone can tell me if I am doing something wrong. This is a 2003 Mercury 25hp...
I bought a jon boat the other day that came with a 2003 25HP Mercury 2stroke outboard. I do not know a lot about outboards and would like to read a manual on this motor to get familiar with it. Does anyone know where I can find the manual for it?
Also does anyone know off hand whether I...
Hey guys!
Just wanted to give you an update about my boat since yall helped me so much with it. I am moving to Chambersburg, PA and didnt want to trailer it up. A young fella around my age wanted to trade me his four wheeler for it, so I did.
I am now the owner of a 2004 Honda Recon Four...
In order to start and run the engine on a hose... Is this the correct process?
1: Hook the hose to the Muffs and put them on the lower unit correctly.
2: Turn the water on... water will start going everywhere.
3: Crank the engine and let it flush.
Is that the correct process? For some reason I...
Fellas,
I have finally got my outboard put back together and want to give it a try on the hose... ONE problem!
When putting the lower unit back on I realized 2 of the 4 gear housing screw holes need to be tapped as one goes in and just spins in place and the other I cant even get started down...
Is it possible that my boat may not have wood stringers? It is a 1979 Lucraft Bass Boat. 17ft.
I am just curious. The reason I ask is because the owner before me cut out the front livewell so he could see the bottom of the boat for some reason. When I look down there I dont see any wood...
