I used my boat all day yesterday no problem...went to crank it to load and the horn was sounding continuously. It is nonstop with the ignition key in the on position where it should normally provide a short beep. Any suggestions? Oil tank is full and I assume all is working properly motor-wise...
I replaced the water pump impeller. The pump is working fine. My shifter is now stuck in reverse. I cant get it to move forward even with the lower unit off. Any suggestions?
I just pulled the lower unit off of my 40 hp ELETB. In and around the exhaust port was a creamy grey colored stuff. Kinda like whipped grease. I recently ran it on the lake. It was a little difficult to start and idling erratically but I figured that sitting unused was the culprit for that...
I am trying to figure out the year of this outboard. I think it may be an '84. But not really sure. I would also like to know of a good online parts source. I am having difficulty finding some parts. Any help will be much appreciated.
I have a 1993 40hp Rude TE40ELETB. What position should the pointer on the red indicator be using hours on the face of a clock as a reference?<br />Thanks<br />tabbott
My steering wheel is off center when going straight on the water. I have tried to pull it off but can't seem to get it loose. The shaft does not appear to splined. It seems to be pressed. Any suggestions for getting this thing straight other than my dealership at over an hour away? Thanks in...
My lift assist cylinder has quit assisting on my 1993 Rude 40hp TE40ELETB. I have read all the posts concerning problems with these troublesome things. My cylinder will hold the motor in any position that I put it. However it is difficult to lift. I tried to adjust the shell coupler at the...
Is it necessary to put stabilizer in the fuel at every fill up? I have a friend who sugests that I do. I run my fuel tank empty at least once every three weeks. I told him that I believe that stabilizer would be used if you anticipated not using the boat for a prolonged period. If I'm right, the...
My 40 1993 40 hp Evinrude is running at almost 7000 rpm at WOT according to the tach. It does not sound as if its winding out but I dont want to damage this otherwise good running motor. My prop is a 13 pitch. I'm not sure if the tach is correct or not. I do not as yet have a manual but one is...
I am having idle problems. It will idle for a while but seems to try to cut out. It will die most of the time shifting from forward to reverse. After an extended run, it may idle fine with a little skip on occasion. The bulb never seems to be tight. However, I do not detect any gas leakage from...
Is it true that the oil should pumped from the bottom to the top. If so why? Any particular or special type of lower unit oil needed for my motor. Mod # TE40ELETB<br />Thanks in advance.
I recently purchased this boat and have used it approx 10 outings. Today while attempting to shift into reverse it actually moved forward. In the neutral position, it is still in forward gear. The linkage seems to be working correctly when I shift the control but nothing other than forward is...
