    J150EXECD Looks like I need a new float?

    Funny, the government with all their odd rules and regulations are supposed to keep the public safe but whomever is monitoring all the crap that is being built and sold on the open market is definitely a sleep at the wheel. I have never seen such non-usable trash sold on the open market.

    Motor swap- wiring questions

    Yes, as a bush fix you could just splice. I thought it helpful information that it could be done and how to match up. Let us know if it works.

    Leaking water into cowl

    Get gaskets, clean up head and water cover, read past posts about checking head for flatness and using sand paper to true up. Also, work slow to remove water cover bolts.

    Motor swap- wiring questions

    I read this guy's post and then googled up omc wiring harness adapters old to new. There's a bunch of adapters but they are the opposite of what you want to do. When people upgraded their motors omc made it so they could adapt to the old box. So you could dig more and see if they sell one the...

    Motor swap- wiring questions

    The remote control box with the red plug, (series 77) went from 1977 to 1995. Not sure if that other box will even work so I would at least find the color code diagram for each box. Alternative is to just buy a used red plug box.

    Leaking water into cowl

    Or it could be a crack in the head or block. Not aware of any other test but let's see if anyone else has an opinion, i may not be the best one to diagnose this one.

    Leaking water into cowl

    Didn't think so, remove them very carefully. If they won't go don't force them heat and time. Loosen a little, tighten a little. Hopefully they just come out in the begining.

    Leaking water into cowl

    Could be.....hard to tell from video. Make sure it's not coming from the black hose (pin hole) that goes to your TT. Otherwise, yes those would need to be replaced and you would need to check flatness of your head. Bolts can be tricky, be careful. Salt water use?

    Need advise on 1991 48 HP Special Evinrude

    The 48 special was made to be cheaper...that's what "special" means I guess. I looked at 50 HP in that year and couldn't find any new ones just parts. I did find this company (not sure their real) and they rebuild them. 1st picture is what I believe is the one you would want and the 2nd link is...

    2002 60 H.P. Tiller—two questions . Revving/running oddly. Original prop

    To elaborate more on the prop question, if your satisfied at what the prop is doing for your boat (usually means your tachometer is in the rpm range that your motor recommends) take your existing prop to a propeller shop and they will tell what you have. You can then purchase one from them. I...

    1988 Evinrude 120 V4 -Suddenly going into SLOW Mode at WOT. Video included

    Well, your convinced it slow mode and it might be....so look at the 4th reply in this thread/forum and then the other link is how to replace the diode. Doesn't look very fun. https://www.aomci.org/forums/topic/93-70hp-wiring-harness-diode/ https://www.crowleymarine.com/d/tech_article/diode-kit

    Slow mode vro

    Is that a 77 remote box or the one with the big red plug inside the motor. My mechanic back in the day used to put a metal thing inside under the key area to test the alarm. As far as the slow mode the guy just under you in the postings is having similar issues. Lots of historical post on it but...

    1988 Evinrude 120 V4 -Suddenly going into SLOW Mode at WOT. Video included

    From everything I've read it 2500 for your motor. Did you read about the diod that can go out in your harness and cause it?

    1988 Evinrude 120 V4 -Suddenly going into SLOW Mode at WOT. Video included

    Not sure 3500 would be considered a "slow mode" my outboard, while quite newer, takes me down to 1200 rpm's. Seems like 3500 if your running hot or low oil wouldn't be very "safe" did you read somewhere that that is the safe or slow RPM? Here is a screen shot of something I found with a...

    1988 Evinrude 120 V4 -Suddenly going into SLOW Mode at WOT. Video included

    Neutral revving to that degree is not very good for your motor. A little rev to start it up is fine then you need to back off pretty quick and then let it warm up at a slightly higher idle. I too thought you would show us a video with it in gear doing what you said....that's the only way to test...
