    Fifties Evinrude and Johnson motors

    Hi guys, I'm curious about these late fifties motors and how they start, run , warm up. I have a 57 Johnson 18 that I pretty much replaced everything but the rings and bearings. It runs great once warm but when cold it is a bit cold natured and coughs and spits. After it warms up it runs great...

    Removing Chrysler 135 from Boat

    Hi guys, I have always had a bracket on my engines when removing them with my cherry picker but this Chrysler engine doesn't have one. So my question is where or what do you guys hook your hoist to to remove the engine? I have a special tool for the Mercury outboard and the Evinrude and Johnson...

    OMC Autoblend fuel can

    Hi folks, I recently got another boat and it came with an older metal can. I didn't pay much attention to it but noticed it had Autoblend on the side of it. I realized this isn't an ordinary can and has a seperate oil tank in it to well, Autoblend the mixture. I have never seen one of these...

    Mercury outboards

    Hi all, I am curious as to if any other motors are built like Mercury's are without a removable head. Last year when I got the Silverline boat that came with the 115 Merc inline 6 this was my first Mercury engine. All these years I have had Evinrude motors and then got an old 56 Johnson along...

    Mercury 115 inline 6 Fuel lines

    Hi guys, Can someone post a good clear pic of the fuel line routing with an engine that has the factory enrichment valve on it? I'd like to see how it is set up. I have an 1980 model without it and have been given a valve by a member here to install on my motor for easier starting. I'd like to...

    Gas dripping out of carbs

    Re: Gas dripping out of carbs Thats interesting I have the same exact motor and it only has one fuel pump. Now the 140 motors I have seen all have two fuel pumps but the 135 only one. I haven't seen that many of either really as out in the water 90 % of motors I see are newer Mercury's. I would...

    Mercury Tach settings

    Hey folks, I have an older Mercury 115 { 1980 } on the back of a 16' Tri Hull and was doing some wiring and noticed the settings on the back of the Tach. It goes from 1-6 and it is set on number 1. It appears to be correct when out in the water and how it idles and full throttle. Just wondering...

    Evinrude electric shift

    Hi folks, I just got my first boat with an older electric shift 85 HP Evinrude outboard. I have never owned an outboard with electric shift and was wondering how dependable these are. Any common problems with them or do they work fairly well? Anything to keep an eye on, etc... Thanks...

    1972 Titl/Trim unit

    Hello, Can someone tell me what years will fit a 72 Evinrude V4 engine? We just got an old boat with this 85 horse V4 and want to add an OE tilt/trim unit to it. So my question is If I can't find something that says 72 then what other years will be a direct fit? Thanks, Nick

    81 Merc 115 gear case

    Hello, I just got my first Mercury engine in all these years of boating and it's a 1980 115. For the life of me I can not get the gear case back on. I have dropped many a gear case and replaced water pumps, seals , etc and always got them back on fairly easy but this Mercury is driving me...
