    200hp Evinrude Won't go in Gear sometimes

    My '93 200hp Evinrude occasionally has problems getting out of neutral and into gear (either forward or reverse). I had a similar problem last season, and ended up having the lower unit rocker arm(?) replaced after I was told the lower unit had water in it. Am I having the same problem again? I...

    Bad Compression Can I Wait?

    My '93 200hp Evinrude pulls 120, 115, 115, 110, 110, 100. So there's more than a 15psi difference. Can I wait until the Fall to have the engine pulled apart or will that ruin my engine? Do I have any hope trying to just de-carb??

    '93 200hp Evinrude Stalling/Compression

    My engine seems to run great (37 knots at 4000rpm) but it stalls at idle when warm (dangerous when docking). My marina says the compression check shows a weak cylinder and they want to tear it apart, but it seems fine with no loss of power. If a cylinder's bad, would I notice a loss of power or...
