    1992 Evinrude 150hp EXEN will not run correctly

    Had an almost identical thing happen on my 150 some years ago. In my case the little roller on the throttle cam folower had fell off. The roller and C clip were laying in the lower housing and a 10 minute fix.

    Help identify boat hull

    Can't help much with that particular hull but it looks a lot like a copy of one of Forrest Wood's Ranger boats from the early 70's. Back in those days many fiber glass boat makers would "borrow" other companies designs.

    Cost? Anybody in S. Wisconsin want to rebuild my transom?

    Yep, a fellow I worked with inherited his fathers boat that had sat uncovered outside for about 10 years. It was similar to a 14' Boston Whaler but I don't remember if that was the maker. 10 hp Honda. Got the motor running and took it for a test run. As soon as he opened it up after leaving...

    1992 Evinrude 150hp EXEN will not run correctly

    The shift interrupter momentarily cuts power to one bank of cylinders as the shifter goes from neutral to forward to ease stress on the clutch dogs. A bad or sticky switch or one with improper adjustments could cause the problem you are having. It has been a while since I sold my boat with a...

    1992 Evinrude 150hp EXEN will not run correctly

    If only rough in gear it may be a problem with the shift interrupter switch.

    Deadman Switch?

    I think the chain on the bow you referred to is the safety chain (or strap depending on the size of the boat} when the boat is on the trailer. This is to hold the boat down tight to the trailer. The winch line is pulling horizontal which would not help much in case of an accident. The kill...

    Herters boats

    Search the internet for Herters catalogs from back then. Every old guy as at least one that is at least 50 or 60 years old. I found this in about 2 minutes on the internet from 1958. Most of what they sold was advertised in their catalogs as "World's Finest."

    wood handle preservative question

    I have used linseed for years. Over the years they may darken but they won't rot. Same with shovels, rakes, etc. I still have some wood handled tools over 50 years old that I still use on a regular basis.

    launch / retrieval 'systems'

    Just about the same procedure I use for my 14' tinny side console with a 30hp. It still works at 83 years old. I don't usually fish on weekends so I can take my time as my usual ramp is not all that busy.
