    thru-hull transducer on aluminum

    Someone told me that I could mount my transom-mounted (garmin 250) transducer on the inside of my boat!! Is this true? They told me I could just epoxy the transducer to my vinyl covered wood floor!! Can I mount it in the bilge area to the aluminum bottom? My cause for this inquiry is due to my...

    leaking transducer mount

    I just installed a new sonar unit and mounted the transducer using one of two previous mounting holes used for my old unit. I reinstalled the old screw back in the left over hole from the old transducer mount and coated the threads with sealer. I took the boat out on the water and my bilge pump...

    1969 85hp evinrude overheating

    I have a 1969 85hp evinrude that I just replaced the impeller on! I ran it until it was warm enough for the temperature warning light to come on and immediately shut it off! The water coming out of the two pee holes was hot! I assume since the water(muffs) going into the motor was cold to begin...

    1969 85hp evinrude update

    I started on my impeller replacement quest this afternoon. Upon the removal of the fill/drain screws in the l/u, I was greeted by a creamy looking substance! That's as far I got today!<br />I am going to remove the l/u tomorrow. Does this indicate a leaky head gasket? I did run it last night...

    I replaced the points, set them @ .0012 and after a short time of trying to get it started, it started!! I had the muffs on it and let it run for about 3 minutes and the overheat bulb lights up on the dash so I shut it down! I watched someone replace the impeller about 10 months ago. Any...

    1969 85 evinrude timing question?

    I have a 1969 85hp evinrude(85993) with push button electric shift. Upon trying to start the motor it attempts to run backwards(not every time). I am going to pull the flywheel and check the anti-reverse spring! If it is broken, is the timing now off? If it is out of time then what is the best...

    I have a 1977 115 evinrude and am in the process of replacing the waterpump and it was suggested to me that I check the thermostat(s) at the same time. I have a clymers manual for it and it is a little broad on this topic in the manual and I searched for a thermostat replacement and none was...

    1977 115 evinrude impeller replacement

    I have a 77' 115 evinrude that I recently purchased. I took it to the lake and after about 5 minutes the temperature buzzer started to sound off. I have a clymer manual for the motor and I assume the impeller needs replacement. I looked over the manual for this procedure and it doesn't look to...
