    My Awful Trolling Motor

    Before I tear this thing off my boat and throw it in the trash, let me please ask for one more piece of advice. My 55 lb Thrust Evinrude Trolling Motor, really barely used, is extremely weak. Charging new batteries, checking the connections, keeping them tight, all make no difference. I have a...

    Evinrude 200 HP "Vindicator" Outboard: Possible Oil Leak

    I have a 200 hp Evinrude "Vindicator" outboard that I've "babied" for 12 years. I fog it every year, change the bottom gear oil, etc. It looks immaculate. After going to the lake 4 weeks ago, I notice something that really bothers me. Below the engine block, from underneath the cowling, but...

    I thought I'd post this separately, though there is so much info here, I realize if I'd done a better search I may have found the answer. But here's my question: I'm having the same problem another Motor Guide 12/24 user posted. How do I arrange the wires at the battery on a four wire 12/24...

I have to put it in reverse, then forward again, and all works fine. I believe in "if it ain't broke," so I haven't...

    Starter Pinion Lube

    Is there a substitute, and do I really need to buy OMC Pinion Lube for the starter gear and pinion shaft? Thanks.

    Steering: Do I have to pull the engine!

    I'm trying to pull the steering cables and rods from the threaded tilt tube. There's not enough room, but the tube and rods clearly lack grease. It's all dried up in there. I have a 1996 200 HP Evinrude. Do I actually have to pull the engine? I can't imagine asking my wife to hold the engine in...
