Looks like I'll need a new water pump on my 25 HP Mercury 2-cycle motor. What is a windshield estimate on the cost of this please?
Is there any chance the motor was damaged when the pump failed?
The 1988 Johnson 30 HP outboard motor I just bought may require 100 to one mixture of oil and gasoline? I'm uncertain. It's running good on 50-one. Any suggestions?
Also, there is a primer device operated by the ignition key but I can't tell if it is working or not. No clicking and not...
Hi...after sitting a long time while I worked on the lower unit, the motor won't produce a spark. The coils seem to be OK? I'd some advice on what may be the problem/problems.

I'm replacing my 68 Evinrude 40 HP water pump and the manual says not to reuse the nuts attaching the lower unit sections.
Since these nuts are about $10 each....can one just use lock tight or a lock washer?
Thanks
I have a 1967 40 hp Evinrude with a worn out electric shift cable. I discovered this while replacing the water pump.
Is it possible to replace this cable with the correct gauge wiring and waterproofing the channel is goes through toward the powerhead?
Does anyone have experience with this...
