Hello,
I have a 14ft Quachita semi-v bottom that I am just starting to work on. The issue I have is the seams are leaking in some areas. What is the best way to reseal the seams on the bottom and stern? I am going to cover the bottom in Fasco Super Slick which sould seal most very small leaks. I...
I have a 1972 Quachita 14' semi-V bottom boat that was a navel vessel (it was used on the airbase lakes here in central Arkansas and registered as a navy boat) that I am replacing the floor in. I am wondering should I go with foam in the floor and aluminum sheets on top (18-20 gauge) or go with...
I took my boat out this morning to do some fishing with my daughter and my motor overheated. It is a 1957 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp (15020), I had just finished replacing the seals in the lower unit and the water pump was replaced last year. I ran the motor in a barrel for about 10 to 15 mins...
1957 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp model# 15020
I had a problem with shearing keyways but I seem to have fixed that. I replaced the keyway after shearing a second one and after running the motor for a few Min's I re-torqued the flywheel nut which seems to have stopped that. But I have a new...
My dad has an old 9hp motor that he got from his dad after he died. I am wanting to find out some information on it and find out where I might be able to find parts for it so I can fix it up for him. If I remember correctly it was purchased from Sears. All the cowling said was Ted Williams 9.9hp...
Hey guys, I got my motor put back together today (1957 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp #15020). It started up after a few pulls but then it popped and shut down. It would not even hit again after that. I pulled the flywheel off and found that the keyway had been sheared off just above the cam that sits...

Hey guys, I tried to fire up my motor today for the first time sense I replaced the plug wires (1957 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp #15020). It hit twice then fired up but made a strange noise suddenly and died. It would not even hit after that. I pulled the flywheel back off and found that the keyway...
Hey guys, I got the seal for the lower unit and I repainted the motor last week(1957 fastwin 18hp "15020"). Now I am ready to put it back together. I had to remove the plate that holds the coils to replace the plug wires and I need to know if I need line up any timing marks.<br />Thanks
I did a search of all the forums that have to do with motors but could not find anything so. <br /> I have a 57' evinrude fastwin 18hp on a 15' semi-v bottom aluminum boat with the motor's cavatation plate (anti-ventilation plate) sitting about 1/4" inch below the bottom of the boat and I have...
I now have a new problem. While in the process of putting my gearcase back togeter I found out the seal that I got from the marine shop will not fit. I went back to see if they could match it up and it seems that my 57' rude has a 56' gear case on it. At least that is what it appears to have...
While I was checking the drive and shift rods for any slack I found that the o-ring and bushing for the shift rod is worn out which would account for some of the water I have found in the gear case. The problem is that the bushing (made of brass) is no longer being made. Can anyone tell me where...
Fuel line problem
Hello, I've got a 57 fastwin 18hp evinrude with the pressurized fuel system. I have noticed that when I connect the fuel line to the motor the female connector from the gas tank does not fit flush against the male connector on the motor. It is angled up just slightly which has...
I have a 57 fastwin 18hp (15020-19224) that ran a little hotter than I liked last year. I am going over everything I will need to put it into the water this season for fishing and I need to know if anyone can tell me where the t-stat is exactly? If you were standing in the boat looking at the...
