    1994 Evinrude 112 SPL Cracked Float Chambers

    I have cracked float chambers on both of my carbs. I just need some advice on what to do. I can find new plastic replacements for 85 bucks a piece. I was told that I should go with used metal ones instead. I can find sets of older carbs with metal bowls for around 50 bucks a pair. Will my...

    WOT adjustment and WOT rpms

    I have an evinrude 112 spl. Looking at my carb linkage at wot, they are not quite at 90 degrees. I would say anywhere from 85-87 roughly. Is that really enough to affect the top end rpms? I just redid the lync and sync tonight and got it right on the money now at 90 degrees. I am just...

    Force 150 tach- where to get one?

    My buddy has a 150 Force motor with a 20 pole stator. He needs a new tach and he said all he could find was one from the dealer for 200 bucks. Does anyone know of a cheaper place to find one? All he asks is that it is black and fits in a 3 1/4 hole.

    Stilleto VS Solas prop

    Someone recommended me to use a 3 blade stainless prop on my boat. He said it would work good due to the good amount of cupping on the this prop. I can pick up a stilleto really cheap, but I don't want to buy it unless its going to be a contender for working. How do these props compare to...

    Setting up bow and keel rollers

    I have a 16 foot aluminum single console fishing boat on a shoreland'r roller trailer. It had a pad on the middle cross member that the boat would slide on. When I repainted the trailer I replaced this pad with two eight inch rubber rollers. One in front of the member and one in back. I then...

    Moving motor up or down-use sealant?

    This is probably in the wrong forum but there are a lot of people who do this a lot in this forum and would know. When I move my motor up two notches on my transom do I use some sort of sealer behind it? I see there is a silicone or somthing oozing out the edges now. What do I use if it needs it?

    Boat always loads off center

    I have a 16 foot aluminum deep V console fishing boat. I have a shoreland'r roller trailer. Ever since I bought the boat it always loads an inch or two to the right side of the trailer. Even when you winch it up you can see the bow come to the right of it and you have to put pressure on the...

    Tach not working, Is my motor overcharging??

    I have an evinrude 112 SPL, 1994. I cleaned the carbs and got everything set and ran it on the flusher this spring a few times while getting it dialed in. It seemed my rpms were too high, as it idled around 1100rpm. Now that I got it in the water it sounds like it idles perfect, but now for...

    transducer locations

    I have an aluminum deep v fishing boat and when I bought it it came with both the transducers for the fish finders in the back, one on each side. I have since moved the front one onto the trolling motor where, in my opinion, it should be. My question is can I mount the fish locator transducer...
