    Rescued 69 Evinrude Rogue with stringer need beginner tips

    Those Evinrude/Johnson boats were very well built and quality was good. Unfortunately they were expensive and priced themselves where OMC most likely lost $. If your boat is a pre 68 model original drive parts are impossible to find. While the engine may still be in good condition that is where...

    Trim oil leak into bilge

    Once the trim block is down you will see that it is real easy to feed the line through the hole. Wrap tape around the open end before pushing or pulling the line through, there is a lot of dirt in that area.

    Trim oil leak into bilge

    To get to the leaking line the trim block under the gimbal housing has to come down. Remove the 2 lock nuts and you may have to pry on it but it will come down. A 3/8” flare nut wrench should loosen the lines up. The most forward line is the high pressure “up” line. If there is no source for...

    No compression with rocker arms torqued

    Look at my post #11. Also you can get more information if you google “converting a MK5 to adjustable rocker arms”. You just need the stud and locknut kit or the “poly lock” style which are better. I do not feel that there is a valve problem.

    Merc 3.0 Overheating

    Most times the riser is what causes water flow problems rather than the manifold body. If you have a water hose supply try connecting the hose to the manifold inlet. The water should free flow through it. A leaking head gasket builds up enough pressure where it overcomes the pressure from the...

    Steering shaft removal

    You said that the slotted head 1/4” 20 screw is out of the drum. The only thing that might be the problem is a burr of aluminum has wedged itself in the shaft. Have someone or try to lock the steering wheel then rotate the shaft with the channel lock pliers which should shear off whatever is...

    No compression with rocker arms torqued

    I wonder if the previous owner installed a longer pushrod trying to compensate for the worn cam lobe. It would be worth the while to check and also compare the rocker arm in question with a known good one.
