Will a Hydrofoil stabilizer fin (sting ray) actually do any good on a 7.5 hp motor. Or does it need to be at least 15 hp or so to really make any noticable difference.

My question is this: I have a small leak around the pressure relief valve on my Saturn sd 365. Can I use a small dab of heavy duty pvc glue on that area? I am talking about the glue used for pvc pipes. If so, would I need to clean the area with the pvc cleaner first. Has anybody done this...
Can I remove the 6 bolts holding the exhaust shaft to the power head with out messing anything up. My motor does not shift into gear and when I removed the lower unit the whole shift rod came out from the top. There was a washer with a cotter pin attached at the top of the rod. So I am sure...
My 1989 7.5 gamefisher is not engaging into gear. I removed the small rectangular plate above the cavitation plate and was able to engage it there with a screw driver. However nothing happens when I use the gear lever. I am guessing that something has come loose in the shaft or somewhere. I...
I have a Sears (Eska) 1989 7.5 Gamefisher outboard and I think I sheared the shear pin. Motor cranks and runs great but the propeller will not turn. I haven't a clue how to change the pin. Can someone please help. I hate to pay $$$ for what is probably an easy job. I have removed the cotter pin...

I have a 1981 Eska gamefisher 7.5 hp motor I just got and I can't get it to start. I noticed after a few tries pulling a small amount of gas appears to be coming from the carb. After a few more pulls it starts a steady stream of gas.
I took the carb apart and everything looks clean. I sprayed...
I JUST GOT A SERAS 1981 GAMEFISHER 7.5 HP.....MODEL # 217-585841.
I tried to crank it with no luck and noticed that gas was dripping from the carb..... and after a minute or two started a steady stream. What would cause this? and will a good cleaning solve the problem? Do I need a carb rebuild...

THANKS,

can anyone tell me if there is a website that has a free download of the old eska golden jet 5hp service manual. I want to do some work on mine and I am scared to take anything apart without it. I spent $200 on the motor and I don't want to sink another $25 or so for a manual. It does run now...
