    Evinrude Paint

    I hear you, but neither really needs a complete paint job. Might decide to redo the 25, but for right now I'd just like to find some matching paint for those two motors. Since I'm a bit color impaired, these rudes all look quite a bit alike and was hoping they all were the same color. I also got...

    Evinrude Paint

    Thank you. That's very helpful. I'll have my wife scope out the two rudes which would help some, but I still need to figure out the exact paint color to have it come out right. That chart though is what I needed. Much obliged.

    Evinrude Paint

    This shouldn't be that hard. So none of you guys have ever painted an Evinrude? How many different colors are there? I just can't find a definitive answer anywhere!

    Evinrude Paint

    Is this motor the same color? It's a '77.

    Evinrude Paint

    Searched for two hours last night and I'm more confused now then when I started. What color is this engine? Blue? Green? Gold? In case you guys are wondering, yes I'm partially color blind.

    Evinrude Paint

    Thanks Scott. That explains why I can't find it. So guess OEM paint is the only game in town. I can work with it I reckon. Hope it comes in a good sized can, little cans never seem to do a good job. I do have one of those triggers and if the can sprays well the results rival using a spray gun...

    Evinrude Paint

    It seems the prevailing opinion is the OEM paints are runny. I read it on the internet so I know it's true......LOL So nobody has tried any alternatives? I've found out the Dupli-Color people say is a close match is actually part of the Truck, Van, and SUV line. Maybe discontinued? I'm just...

    Evinrude Paint

    Is OEM paint any good though? Seems a lot of people don't think so. Is Moeller a good paint? Expensive?

    Evinrude Paint

    Have several mid 70s Evinrudes I'm fixing up. Just wondering what you guys are using for paint? I've read that Dupli Color T155- Light Blue is a good match, but can't find any with that part no. Looking for a close match, doesn't have to be perfect. Also looking for some touch up paint that IS...

    Evinrude 25 - Spun Prop?

    That is my take on it as well. I'm just surprised the hub isn't munched. At first it did seem like cavitation, like the prop was out of water, but afterwards it wouldn't move at all except at low RPMs. Which is what it's supposed to do right? I was clear to the other end of the lake so was happy...

    Evinrude 25 - Spun Prop?

    Will that work in a barrel though? Trying to avoid launch fees and the hassle of launching and retrieval. If it could be nothing but a spun prop I might as well just replace it. Could it be something else? I'm thinking anything else and that boat would be dead in the water. Maybe I'm wrong. I...

    Evinrude 25 - Spun Prop?

    Got my new motor running nicely in the barrel. Had it out on the lake for the first time. All seemed good. A few WOT blasts, slowing to idle in between for fine tuning. Took off again, running at about 3/4 throttle. All of a sudden motor revs way up, boat slows down. Wouldn't move except at just...

    Boogered Carb

    That wasn't an assumption that was a question.

    Boogered Carb

    Good to know, suspected as much. From what I read, it's a detuned 40HP? Is that right? If so, should I throw a carb off a 40 on it?

    Boogered Carb

    Well you were a novice once too R1. I appreciate the advice, but a little less snark would also be appreciated! So why the heck is the nozzle designed this way? Is it supposed to not be removable? Thanks for the reply, it bolsters my confidence that this motor may be good to with just a little...

    Boogered Carb

    Cleaned the carb on the Evinrude 25 today. S/N: 322314 Pretty simple, not very dirty. Could tell though that some bumbler had been in there previously. Missing a bowl screw, main jet looks bent. Could not straighten or remove main jet, even though it has slots that look like a screwdriver could...

    Evinrude 25 Electric Conversion

    Point well taken. It just looks sorta ghetto to me. Like somebody added it. Oh well one more part that will have to be transferred over I reckon. Beginning to think it would be easier to put the lower unit from the rude on the johnny, but the rude is in such nice shape, almost like new. I'm not...

    Evinrude 25 Electric Conversion

    How so? Was my explanation hard for you to follow? Allow me to elaborate. What I see is a bunch of terminals that can come loose, get wet, become contaminated, and might well need to be removed and cleaned from time to time. Just seems like an odd way to do things. What am I missing?

    Evinrude 25 Electric Conversion

    Because it looks like a HS science project? Seems like it would have plugs, that's all. Preferably with locks like most cars do.

    Evinrude 25 Electric Conversion

    Gotcha. Thanks. Concentrating on getting the rude serviced and running. Then I'll get going with transferring the rest of the goodies from the Johnny. Noticed something odd yesterday. Looks like the electric start motor has a carb with a bump out on it to mount the choke solenoid. Guess if...
