    Evinrude Fastwin 18 No Full Tilt Lock

    Not sure anyone is going to sign off on that but it seems fine if not traveling far. Here is what people are talking about, transom saver and motor extension lock I believe like racer said.

    Evinrude 35 vs new Johnson 30?

    As I was told back in the day, when Yamaha entered the outboard market they started rating them at the prop. Evan rude had to switch for some reason so that they could compare the motors I guess. Pretty sure the 83 is at the crank but I'm not sure because that's right about the time that things...

    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    For one thing convenience, the other thing so that you can turn them both off, run just on one so that you always have one ready to go if something happens, and then in a worst case if you need to run two at the same time to get your engine started you're all set. This is how they're mostly...

    Or a thick piece of wood and a heavy duty bungee cord. MacGyver style!

    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    Battery switch is a must as far as I'm concerned.

    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    Dave, I think he doesn't know what you mean because he thinks he doesn't need it. Not sure how 2 stroke oil will hold stuff together. Or maybe I'm not reading this correctly.

    Johnson 55hp 1979 snapped bolt after following manual. Why?

    I think you already had them out correct? If so, take one out and measure it. That particular bolt in America you could find just about anywhere. 1/4 20 (20 refers to the threads) and it's probably 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Not sure why the United States didn't convert to the metric system but I guess...

    Johnson 55hp 1979 snapped bolt after following manual. Why?

    Yes I agree with F_R down below. When ever you deal with old outboards you are going to have a problem with bolts breaking. When that happens that is supper bad. (Removal) there is all kinds of tricks with penetrating oils and heat. Research and educate yourself on that. As far as your bolt, it...

    1966? Evinrude Big Twin 40 help

    Depending on your model number, and you must know this I guess, shafts are available but pricey. Like matt167 says, not sure why anyone would want to other than some kind of sentential reason.

    1966? Evinrude Big Twin 40 help

    I've done small outboards and none that old. For me it's usually the shift rod and drive shaft. But the one thing I've found is those are not available new. Not sure on yours. You should try to find a short shaft parts engine if you can.

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Yes, and NASA had a sq. Co2 scrubber filter on the command module and a round one one lunar module. Engineers! I did learn you could get the 585203 off another engine and change the pigtail but those are gone to. Only ones I found were $300 something used on eBay. Revenge of the Ficht I guess!

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Wow, I went to parts first where is just list the sensors and doesn't differentiate from either side. But when you go to parts breakdown and then individual parts you get the description. That sucks! I wonder how many people have gotten screwed on that one. Also, one would think a temp sensor...

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Race, the parts breakdown that I looked at doesn't differentiate from port and starboard. Just says temp sensor. Where do you see that or are you just pulling our legs?

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    I didn't have your model number but it's your year and your hp. Need to check model for sure. I was told BRP was still making and supplying parts. Anyhow, marine engine.com

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Expensive used part? Seems like you've isolated it, buy a new sensor. Better check into why your tach didn't let you know.
