    67 Evinrude 80hp won't shift forward

    1967 80HP Evinrude Manual Shift I removed the lower unit to replace some seals because of a water intrusion problem. Yesterday was my first attempt at taking it out on the water. It shifted into reverse just fine but it wouldn't go into forward gear. Prior to the lower unit work it shifted...

    Is my water pump working?

    1967 80hp Evinrude I just had my lower unit apart to replace some leaky seals and o-rings. After inspection, the impellar looked in great shape (almost new). I put the whole thing back together and finally started her up today for the first time this year (dreadful I know). As this being the...

    87 Octane????

    1967 80hp Evinrude My last few times out on the water my motor runs fine at low speeds (no wake) but when I throttle up to about half way she seems to bog down and starts to surge. My initial suspicion was a dirty carb or air leaking into a fuel line or gas tank. However when I went to my...

    Tis the season for winterizing questions

    I remeber reading a thread a little while back about winterization in which someone suggested adding something to the lower unit lube. I can't remember what it was or find the thread that mentioned it. I think it may have been either antifreeze or fuel stabilizer. Does any of this makes sense...

    3 Lower Unit Problems

    Changing the gear lube in my newly purchased 67 Evinrude 80Hp, I found 3 issues. 1. More water than oil came out when I drained it. This is normal right?....No?....Didn't think so. The gaskets seem to be in good shape. Are there any common places that are prone to leaking? The prop has a...

    Tank Vs. Muffs

    I have a 1967 Evinrude 80 Hp and was told that the standard suction cup style muffs won't work on my engine. The guy I had rebuild my starter showed me some antique piece of twisted metal with a hose fitting that he uses for older engines. As of right now, the only option I have is to remove...

    The fun never ends!

    So far I've had my boat on the water once and have had more problems than I can count without taking my shoes off. I thought owning a boat was supposed to be a "luxury". Oh well. My latest issue appears to be caused by the previous owner redecking the boat. Apparently he got too close to the...

    1967 Evinrude won't start

    I recently purchase a boat with a 67 80 HP Evinrude Speedifour. The first time I took it out to the lake I didn't even get off the trailer.
