    Weird situation, looking for advice/how to repair

    I’ll see what I can do to get it running. Legitimately one of the dumbest things I’ve done in recent memory unfortunately.

    Removing section of hull

    I figured as much. We’ve just put a trolley motor on the back of the boat for a 2 acre pond. I don’t remove the splashwell if it’s integral to the hull.

    Removing section of hull

    I just bought this boat and trailer for a song. I’m going to do minimal work to it so that we can fish my partners pond with it. I’m wondering if removing this back section of metal would compromise the hull? I’d like to put a tiller handled motor back here.

    I’m going to try to find another 9.9/15 and get it up and going again. My carb is still good and was off at the time

    Weird situation, looking for advice/how to repair

    I made a complete moron move is the short version of the story. Long version is….I thought it would be a great idea to clean some of the areas under the cowling while I had parts off. I sprayed a bunch of brake cleaner to get some of the nasty gunk and grease from off the motor. I also had to...

    Any suggestions for how to bend this thing back out?

    Weird situation, looking for advice/how to repair

    The bending seems to be unsuccessful. I tried heat and some huge channel locks and a big wrench separately without success. I’ll just put the new lower cowling on. I’m gonna have to do some work with the broken starter anyways

    Ordered a lower cowling today. Going to try to bend the one back and Will replace if bend is unsuccessful. I’ll get to the starter tonight or tomorrow (hopefully) busy weekend with my little man.

    Weird situation, looking for advice/how to repair

    Motor runs great with the recoil starter. Ran it down at the the river yesterday. I was unsure on bend back vs replace the lower cowling. Sounds like both options would be ok. I’ll apply some heat see what happens and replace if needed. It’s already broke, so I’m not worried about making it worse

    Weird situation, looking for advice/how to repair

    I finally found my keeper motor on Sunday. 1980 long shaft Johnson 15 hp. Went and looked at it and it fired up on the first use of the electric starter. Pumped water beautifully, purred like a kitten, shifted smoothly, compression 105/105, clean gear lube. I’ve been looking for awhile and to...

    Evinrude 4hp 2 cylinder 2 stroke cooling question

    I’ve since cut one of my stands down to better accommodate short shaft motors. I made both of these stand before I’d ever owned a short shaft. I am very guilty of not having my impellers deep enough in the water.
