I just bought a new Obrien seige($400can.) slalom ski 68' length.
It skis real solid and turns on a dime, the problem is when i'm skiing, the spray from the ski is streamlined right to the outside of my back leg about half way up. between ankle and knee.
Seems to only happen when i turn left...
I'm in the market for a Bayliner Capri with a mercury 1999 150hp efi.
My question is about the engine.
1. Is there anything that i should look out for? eg. Elimination of VRO on an Evinrude
2. Should this engine be avoided?
3. Is this motor fairly easy to repair? the most i've done is...
I just rebuilt my 1986 evinrude 70hp with fresh pistons and new bearings.
It was 7pm yesterday and I decided to break it in on the lake.
So i ran it at high idle for about 10 minutes and then rode around with just enough speed to plan for about 15 minutes with a couple short bursts of WOT and...
I'd like to run a simple fuel pump, i have no problem mixing my gas. plus it eliminates any possibility of something malfunctioning and ruining my rebuilt engine.
Does anyone know what this thing is exactly?

I know this is important but i don't know which way i should orient this little hole on the connecting rod. I guess it's to lube the upper rod bearings, so i should not mess up here.
On the left or right side once hooked up to the crankshaft
The engine is a 1986 Evinrude 70hp.
Does anyone...
The silver lower unite is a 75hp 1975 johnson stinger that blew up on me.
I was going to rebuild it but the bearing on the drive shaft wore into the shaft itself making it unusable.
So, i bought another lower unite(Ebay) not really knowing much more than it came off a 75hp. The length is very...
Guys my whole engine went south last season, and the cost of things nowadays is unreal.
So i'm going to put this old girl back together. myself my own time.
I'm looking for:
1. 1 original size piston and rings
2. Lower unite parts, i think what happened on my lower unite, the lower shaft...
Last season the power went really south, burnt center piston(miracle it still worked)on my engine.
I'd like to through in some fresh oversize pistons new gasket kit and go.
The problem is the same day the motor stopped, the lower unite was really making weird noises and smelled really bad when...
Having a hard time finding an exact match to replace my lower unite.
It's a johnson 1975 75hp stinger.
I've heard somewhere That the 60hp and the 90hp lower unites are similar and would fit the 75hp.
Is this true?
If this is true, this would narrow my search.
Guys i'm pretty stumped on this one.
Recently bought a 16 foot peterbourough boat with a 75hp johnson stinger for a little fun with intentions of doing a little watersking.
I'm really disapointed in the performance of the motor. It can barely get the boat out of the water.
Went home pulled...
