    Hi all<br />Firstly the engine is a 1990 60 HP Evinrude. I am experiencing some problems with overcharging but I can't narrow down just exactly what the problem is. The voltage had appeared a little high on the gauge but now I have a fried battery, tach, fishfinder ( that wasn't even on) and...

    Tach/Dwell meter

    I found this older hand held tach/dwell meter in the garage. It's in really good condition. I've never used one of these things and of course it has no directions. On the front of the meter it says it will do 4-6-8 cylinder automobile engines. (x2 for 4 cylinder on the 8 cylinder setting). My...

    Black Box Repair

    Mr. Schem or others<br />I am curious to know how you get all of the resin out of these black boxes without destroying any of the components inside. I have tried many times. It's a little like brain surgery only just slightly less messy.<br /><br />>Once opened do you then reverse engineer the...

    Link and sync

    When doing a link and sync "maximum spark advance adjustment" my manual (Clymer) tells me to start the engine and put it in forward gear to between 5000 and 5400 RPM's. Can this be done in a trash can with a hose running to it because I can't imagine the amount of water that is going to fly...

    Tracker transom probem

    I bought a Tracker 16' Deep V used (1990) this season. I like the boat for the water I use it on but by the end of the summer I have noticed that the transom seems to be pulling away from the splash plate. When water comes over the transom it now runs into the hull instead of draining out of the...
