    Primer causing fuel exhaustion?

    I have a 1987 Evinrude 20HP Model #E20CRCUR. In the last month I had the boat on the water(pulled it this week) I was having problems with the motor getting fuel. I narrowed it down the primer, I think. The first time it happened I was running at full throttle and the motor slowed and died...

    Non normal flow through pee hole. 1987 Evinrude 20 HP

    I have a 1987 Evinrude 20 HP model E20CRCUR. The motor started to not force a constant stream out the pee hole. I'd say it was 50-60% of normal. So I replaced the whole water pump. Now the stream is about 75% of normal. The impeller had some rubber missing, pieces that could be several mm in...

    My outboard isn't circulating enough water I am guessing the impeller or whole water pump needs replacing. But I can't get the lower unit off. I found 4 bolts and one nut to remove. I think it is hung up on the shift rod because I can't find the disconnect. I took off the plastic intake...

    Gas oil mix

    I have a 1978 Evinrude 20hp. I took it into the shop the other day and the mechanic asked me what mix ratio i was using. On the side of the engine where you hook up the fuel line it has an original decal saying 100:1 fuel to oil. He says that I should be using 50:1. I trust the guy because...

    Hit a rock

    My roomate has a 2007 Sea Ray with a 4.3 V6 190 hp Mercruiser. He was driving and we were accelerating out of a no wake at max power and hit a rock. It dinged up two of the fins on the prop. We replaced the prop with an identical prop. But we are thinking there might be some other damage...
