    Thought Provokers - TCW4, TCW5

    Some of you may have a problem with the following thread so I'm giving you fair warning - if you're on oxygen, turn it on/up, if you are on medication use it, if you're bouncing off the walls from too much caffiene come back later, and if you're on a sugar high just wait a while before engaging...

    Evinrude ETEC 130 using Amsoil HPI oil

    Just got my project back up and running with a new (to me) 2010 Evinrude ETEC 130. Rigged and mounted the engine over the last couple of weekends. First weekend out on a 1979 Glastron/Carlson CVX-16. The 79 Evinrude 115 was the original...rebuilt the powerhead and then I sold it. Sure like...

    94 Mercury 115 - No Spark

    No spark to the plugs when motor is turned over. Noticed the voltage regulator had some hot-spots so I'm replacing. However, I'm not convinced that module is causing my problem. Also was wondering if there is an ignition cutout when the oil tank gets low enough. My next step is to disconnect...

    100:1 ratio - My Experience

    NADA Bluebook vs Asking Price

    A boat shop in Michigan has a 1989 90hp Evinrude and a 1990 90hp Johnson for sale, both at $3695.00 each. Couldn't resist making a call to find out if they gold plated the lower unit but really just wanted to know what the deal was...rebuilt lower, rebuilt engine, etc. His answer was both...

    1979 Evinrude 115 - Thoughts?

    Guys, Although I've been in and out of boats all my life, this would be the first boat I've owned other than an 8' Hydroplane I had years ago. I'm looking at a Glastron CVX-16 with a 115 Evinrude...both are 1979 vintage. 1. Bluebook says the motor is worth an average $125. Is that really all...
