This motor followed me home a while back. I have been using it as a parts motor for other projects, as it was incomplete when I got it.
I have been slowly collecting parts for her with the thought of some day getting her back together. One puzzle I have is the water tube. When I removed the...
A two week break from my boat project has turned into about two months of not much getting done on it. During this time colder weather has settled in and winter is just around the corner. Instead of working on the boat I have been taking care of all of the typical fall chores. At this point they...
First of all I would like to thank everyone that contributes to this site. I never would have attempted this project without the information I have gained from this site. I have put quite a few hours into disassembly and now need some advice on how to go about finishing the job and getting her...
I recently purchased a boat on an EZ Loader Trailer. I am in the process of replacing the rollers and washers.
When I took these brackets off, It looks like they are supposed to swivel where the two arms are joined.
These are really frozen together. The only way to free these up is to...
I just finished tearing down a 1989 110Hp crossflow. When I pulled the crank out of the block I found this under the center bearing.
Not really sure what I am looking at here. Maybe the brass piece was a plug for the hole that got pushed into the crankcase? The hole is drilled down to the...
Re: 1989 Evinrude 110 Hp Cracked Block, Is This Salvageable?
I peeled off the piece of aluminum. It is very thin and just flaked off. Looks more like corrosion than anything else. What do you think?
I have been struggling to get this motor apart. There is a lot of corrosion due to saltwater use. She needs new pistons and possibly bored out too.
After removing the rectifier I came across this crack in the block.
The crack does not seem very deep and does not run into the water jacket...
Re: 1955 5.5Hp Johnson water tube removal
I spent some time trying to free this up. After letting soak with penetrating oil overnight, I heated the housing and tried to back this out. It wouldn't back out and felt like the housing would break if I tried any harder.
I drove the copper tube...
Re: 1955 5.5Hp Johnson water tube removal
I have the power head off already. Here is a picture of the top of the tube.
Looks like I have to get a big screwdriver and back this out? It doesn't want to budge, just don't want to break anything I don't have to.
I have a CD-12 that I am converting to a long shaft. I need some help figuring out how to remove the water tube, so I can replace it with a longer one.. Does it pull out from the bottom or is there something to loosen up under the powerhead?
Thanks,
Scott
Towards the end of last season I mixed up way too much gas for my outboards. I now have 8 gallons on 24:1 and 3-1/2 gallons of 16:1 pre-mix that is approx. 8 months old.
When I mixed it up I used Star-brite enzyme fuel stabilizer. Before storage I added more of the same stabilizer to it...
Re: Help Restoring a 110 Hp Evinrude
Did some more investigating and here are some pics of the VRO sysytem. This connector was disconnected is this just for the alarm system?
Also found no clamps on the oil line from oil reservoir to coweling and coweling to the site glass thing. Above site...
Re: Help Restoring a 110 Hp Evinrude
Finally got some free time this weekend to work on this outboard. I ended up snapping the head off two of the head bolts but got the rest out without too much trouble. Getting the head off the two broken bolts turned onto quite a project in itself.
In the...
I recently purchased a boat motor and trailer with the plan of fixing it up over the winter. The outboard is a 110 Hp Evinrude V4 VRO. I am having a hard time figuring out exactly what this motor is because the sticker on the transom clamp is missing. I am hoping that someone can help me...
Re: Kicker Set up for 1955 Sea Horses
I was able to install the steering connecting rod without too much trouble. I had to make a few brakets to hook it up. Now it has pretty good travel even with one or the other motor tilted.
Got her out on the water today and she worked pretty good...
