I was running my johnson 50 on muffs today and I noticed oil escaping from the joint where the lower unit attaches. I've never had this happen before and am wondering what has caused this now. I'm a real newby when it comes to working on outboards so would appreciate any help I can get on...
When I first got my boat I assumed the motor was a 71 Evinrude as that is the year the boat is. I then figured out that it had to be a later model because it is not electric shift and I believe prior to 73 they were electric shift. So I then figured, well-maybe a 73-75. Now I'm not sure of that...
I know Mother's day is supposed to be a time to honor your mother and my mother was special, but I want to take this opportunity to honor my wife also. I would like to say that I am about the luckiest guy around. My wife is a wonderful mother to our four kids (two hers and two mine). All of the...

I was wondering if anyone might have a set of original bow cushions for and early 70s SS that they might not be going to use due to putting a casting deck in or etc...?
Was at Home Depot today and saw a display of Rustoleum Leak seal spray. Don't know if it is a new product or not, but I have never seen it before. I have purchased Gluvit and will use it to seal the hull of my boat, but was just curious what others thoughts or experiences are with the Rusto...
Painted the hull of my boat this past weekend and was going to flip it and put back on trailer Saturday or Sunday. However, Momma told me I made a mistake painting it semi-gloss and that it needs to be glossy, so am going to give it a couple of coats of gloss either Thursday or Friday. I am...
I know this has been posted before, but when I search for "rivets" I get everything under the sun. Can someone tell me what size rivets I need to secure 1/2" ply decking on a 16' ss? Thanks in advance for any help.
I have a 71 50 hp evinrude that I have been trying to locate a new wiring harness for. Have found harnesses for 74 and newer, but not for the 71. Does anyone know where I might find one or if one of the newer harnesses might work. Also I want to replace the wiring that goes from the wiring...
Re: Transom help on Supersport.
Thanks for the information. I wasn't really worried about getting the transom out, have read enough threads on here to have a good idea how to do it. My concern was all of the bolts the PO had put through the transom. I got the transom off this morning...
I am replacing the transom on my 70 Supersport even though the PO told me he had replaced it. From pictures I have seen on here of other transoms it seems to me that he put way to many bolts in the transom. I would appreciate it if I could see some good pic of transoms so I can visualize how...
