    99 Johnson 50hp 2cyl? Any good?

    The 40/50/60 twins had weak lower units. If you find one broken more than likely the lower unit is the culprit.

    More testing on Sharrow prop...

    That prop is for people with disposable income. What does the Merc equivalent of your prop cost? Then add lab finishing to it and It's not $661. You need to understand that prop puts itself in the range of custom props not mass produced. If you look at those prices they are more inline.

    More testing on Sharrow prop...

    SHHHH you want to keep this a secret. Some people here are still in the affair fog with their Enertia propellers. It's like bringing a Vampire into the sun has to be done carefully so they don't explode.

    Spark Plug Replacement for Mercury 115 4 stroke EFI

    On Amazon they sometimes use a stock generic photo of the item. As long as the #s are thew same you are good.

    Prop Question

    Racer is right about dropping pitch. Speed usually doesn't change that much because the lower pitch prop spins faster. I would also bet your fuel economy won't change much if at all because the 17 will be easier for the motor to spin.

    Need advice on power tilt for 1979 85 HP V4 Johnson

    1979 up until around 1990 will work, anything from a 3cyl to v6 will work. I would try to find a mid 80s 2 wire unit that uses the smaller relays. Try to get as much of the harness as possible especially the relay box. They are a direct bolt in so installation is fairly easy. Either take the...

    1982 90 hp evinrude will not remain trimmed out under power

    Yes 82 should interchange with a 1990 T/N/T, Look at how many wires come out of the motor to make sure. Look at the manual release screw on the side of the Unit. IF it is loose or has a bad o-ring it can leak by causing it to drop

    Minimum compression on 9.9hp 1986.

    Try a different gauge. I have a 1977 15 hp that runs fine with a hair over 90 psi of compression, I have had several that ran with that compression. What happens if you pump the primer ball when it bogs? Does pulling the choke out make a difference? Did you pull until the needle on the tester...

    Can I add an Oil Pump to a Yamaha CV85

    You need to get the parts schematic for the 90 hp and the 85 hp. The 90 came with oil injection and is the exact same block as your 85. Only the parts fiche will tell you if you can.

    1982 35 hp evinrude. Very hard to pull start when the spark plugs are in but when removed easy

    Wrong plugs? Recoil timed correctly? Have you done a compression test?

    2 stroke power head swaps.

    Which one? The 50 was built on the 51 cid block and the 45 cid block. I do not believe any of the 3 cylinder Yamahas interchange with each other.
