    need a part for a 1986 Evinrude 15 HP - E15RCDE

    Hi guys, I recently installed a seal kit in my motor - a 1986 Evinrude 15 HP (E15RCDE). The water intake screen (BRP-0318991) was dry rotted and fell apart. I looked online for one but everyone says they're obsolete/vintage and out of production. Does anyone know where i can get one of these?

    1995 Johnson 200 won't start without fully charged battery

    Re: 1995 Johnson 200 won't start without fully charged battery I checked the blowoff valve this morning and sure enough it had seaweed or something clogging it.
