    Got a '77 115hp Evinrude. Good engine. Having some problems. My daughter says the RPMs drop off, at any throttle setting, smoothly. To me, this is something that I will take to the shop. What are several things I would likely hear? In a way, it sounds like coils to me. I would...

    what is

    I have a '77 engine, 115hp, evinrude. I'd like to repaint it. Wonder whether most metals on the outside of lower unit are aluminum or other? If aluminum, I'd use zinc chromate as primer. If other, I'd use prime coat as base. Which would be best?

    old 115hp '77 evinrude question on lower foot

    I have an old '77 115hp evinrude. My daughter has run it quite a bit. She has said something about how "it doesn't work good in reverse". I have the boat back in my hands now, and wonder what "doesn't work good in reverse" can mean. Is this something not to complicated/expensive a shop...

    Have a Johnson 115hp, 1977. The power tilt-trim is going to need repair. Can these units be removed with the boat on trailer? Or, is it lift the engine off the boat and them remove?

    Current tilt-trim unit isn't working. One of the things we're looking at is buying a tilt-trim on Ebay for 1977 Johnson 115hp. I see "2 wire motors", and "3 wire motors". Is there any real difference in this? Sounds like one or two wires could somehow be accommodated. This isn't...
