1997 Evinrude 115 V-4. My original prop was 14 X19-(not Evinrude- probably Michigan Wheel). Recently had to replace this prop and purchased a new BRP/OMC prop. The gentleman who sold me the prop said OMC doesn't make a 14 X 19 prop and the closest is 13.2 X 19. Anyway, with this new prop my top...
I have a 1977 Formula F-18 (18 ft. powerboat) that is showing signs of transom repair. What I need to know is this-
does this boat have an inner and outer skin that supports the transom core? I've had one fiberglass
specialist tell me that there is no inner skin. I contacted Formula and they...
Just curious if what I did will be acceptable for use.
I began to repair some damage on my boat - which I filled and
restored with Marine Tex. The color of the hull is a sky blue.
I prepared 3-4 ounces of WHITE gel coat. It took nearly an
ounce of Evercoat tinting agent to get the desired...
Getting spark to all cylinders.
Compression excellent all cylinders.
New power pack and rectifier installed last year.
So here is the deal- when I open her up she goes nowhere
for at least a minute. Definitely struggling to pick up speed.
When she finally planes, the tac is only reading 4200...
I'd like to replace the T/T unit, as I have a leak from pitting on
the tilt ram. Already removed the tilt pin. Do I need to remove the actual outboard engine
off the boat, or is it as simple as just removing the six bolts from the T/T unit.
I am getting conflicting advice on this. Just want to...
On Tuesday, I docked my boat and realized my trim tilt had a problem after raising the engine and noticing a large oil slick surrounding my dock. Oil smelled like either lower unit lube or hydraulic fluid.
Tested the T/T unit and it started to make a laboring, grinding sound- working- but slower...
Ran fine last year. Replaced rectifier during off season. Cleaned up old wiring that had no purpose
(boat is a 1977- so when they replaced the engine to my present 1985- they cut wires and just
left birds nests of wire EVERYWHERE- actually had wires connected to the battery that led to nowhere-...
I know that the rectifier part of this unit is on its way out- tach OK to 4000 rpm
-any higher it zero's out. The regulator part seemed to work fine until yesterday.
On the way back to the dock, the volt meter started to get readings between
14 and 16 volts. Naturally the higher the rpms the...
I am in the midst of replacing a tachometer and have read that
it is imperative that my tach runs off the rectifier/regulator of my engine- a 1985 Evinrude 140 hp. My original tach was part# 174207. I am replacing with
part #175643-03-B-U. Is this tachometer compatible? I don't want to rewire...
140 hp 1985 Evinrude
Noticed today that the tach is pinned -even when engine is running, off, and even when battery is disconnected. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

What is the size of the aluminum hex nut on Teleflex steering cable.
This is the nut that attaches to the tube of the splash well. I need to
remove the cable to clean and re-lube the tube. Any tricks on getting it off???
Mine is frozen on pretty bad and I don't want to mess the edges of the nut...
