    flushing E200TXEO

    My motor is equiped with the tell tail that can be unscrewed and garden hose screwed in to flush motor after salt water use without running the motor. I don't use it. I use muffs and run the motor. <br /><br />I just figure that getting the motor up to operating temp and using the water pump to...

    Ocean Pro water pump so far so good

    E200TXEO Removed gearcase, replaced water pump assy. Now it's time to re-install. Looks pretty straight forward. Only one question: Manual says to put gearcase in forward before re-install. Does not mention shifter at helm. Should this also be in forward?

    Gear case removal 1995 200 evinrude

    I'm going to install a water pump kit in my E200TXEO. I have the OEM manual and it appears to be pretty straight forward. I've done a 150 Merc successfully but, this will be my first Evinrude. Any helpful hints? Special tools?

    Can't find model/serial # plate

    1996 oceanpro 200. I did find a quarter sized plug between the heads near the top of the motor. It only has G3936640 on it. Does this look like a Serial #?

    trim and tilt '96 200 oceanpro

    I've got a rusty trim and tilt pump. Very rusty. I got my OEM manual the other day and read the section on this. It pretty much takes you through an entire unit dissassembly. Can I just r&r the pump and it's associated seals without taking the whole unit apart?

    '83 Johnson/'85 Evinrude

    I've been trying to find a manual for my E150TXCOS/J150TLCTB Frankenstien with little or no luck. Ken's, Outboard Wizard were not able to help me. Looks like I may be stuck with a Clymers or Solec. Unless anyone has another suggestion for me?????

    Squirly tach

    I've got a E150TXCOS power head sitting on a J150TLCTB lower. This weekend my tach started acting funny. Up until this point it has seemed to work well. Now it sometimes reads ( and I'm guessing here ) 1000 rpms high. After a while it'll bounce back to normal then up high again. Do I just have a...

    A true Johnny-Rude

    OK so, My 150 is painted Evinrude color. Has an Evinrude cover. I wanted to buy a factory manual so I checked the plate on the transom bracket. J150TLCTB. '83 Johnson right? HMMMM. Some one here on the forum told me ( sorry I don't remember who but REALLY apreciate it ) to look above the port...

    I don't know what I have

    I'm trying to order an oem manual for my johnnyrude. I was told when I bought it the motor is a 1988 150 hp Evinrude. I deciphered the # on the mount and came up with 1982 150 Johnson. I'm wondering if this part was changed out at some point or maybe I was just lied to. I searched the forum and...

    88 150 evinrude sticking in gear

    It's only happened a couple times but could be scarry! It has even started in gear. I first noticed it when I was flushing the motor after a day out. The binacle was in neutral but the motor was in gear. It happened again on the water. Happens both in reverse and forward. What should I look for...

    Water over transom

    I just bought a 19' center console with a 1988 evinrude 150 V6. the motor hangs on a fixed jack plate because it's a long shaft motor. This is undoubtedly an attempt to get it high enough on the transom to make it work on the boat. Problem is when on a plane any attempt to trim up causes water...

    1988 150 horse evinrude

    I looked at a boat last night that I am considering purchasing. I'm taking it for a ride this Saturday. Last night when the owner ran it on a flush It seemed to run just fine ( I'll know more Saturday) but, water was squirting out between the gear case and the exhaust housing. Is this normal or...
