    1982 glastron ssv 176

    Well let me day this, probably should be faster but it depends on things. GPS is speed over ground so if your heading into a tide, wind or up river than that won't tell you speed over water. When you got it on a plane did you trim the motor up to lift the bow so that you have less contact with...

    Johnson 40 hp powerhead bolt oops

    I believe it won't work. Broken bolts in outboards is the curse. If you have the means fill it and start again.

    Evinrude Fastwin 18 No Full Tilt Lock

    Even if you have a friction thing it will only work until the first bump the trailer hits. Get the thing or make the thing that Racerone recommended then again I'm not sure how many outboards I've seen that had a piece of wood wedged in there with a bungee or a tie down strap.

    1966? Evinrude Big Twin 40 help

    Near my house. Craigslist is cheaper than eBay if you can find one. https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/bpo/d/heisson-evinrude-40-big-twin-outboard/7513908297.html

    Evinrude Fastwin 18 No Full Tilt Lock

    Not sure anyone is going to sign off on that but it seems fine if not traveling far. Here is what people are talking about, transom saver and motor extension lock I believe like racer said.

    When it comes to boating sometimes getting something for free is too much!

    Evinrude 35 vs new Johnson 30?

    As I was told back in the day, when Yamaha entered the outboard market they started rating them at the prop. Evan rude had to switch for some reason so that they could compare the motors I guess. Pretty sure the 83 is at the crank but I'm not sure because that's right about the time that things...

    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    For one thing convenience, the other thing so that you can turn them both off, run just on one so that you always have one ready to go if something happens, and then in a worst case if you need to run two at the same time to get your engine started you're all set. This is how they're mostly...

    Evinrude Fastwin 18 No Full Tilt Lock

    Or a thick piece of wood and a heavy duty bungee cord. MacGyver style!

    ‘84 Evinrude 15 water pump issue

    Careful, those bolts can be hard to get off without breaking them.

    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    Battery switch is a must as far as I'm concerned.

    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    Dave, I think he doesn't know what you mean because he thinks he doesn't need it. Not sure how 2 stroke oil will hold stuff together. Or maybe I'm not reading this correctly.

    Johnson 55hp 1979 snapped bolt after following manual. Why?

    I think you already had them out correct? If so, take one out and measure it. That particular bolt in America you could find just about anywhere. 1/4 20 (20 refers to the threads) and it's probably 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Not sure why the United States didn't convert to the metric system but I guess...

    Johnson 55hp 1979 snapped bolt after following manual. Why?

    Yes I agree with F_R down below. When ever you deal with old outboards you are going to have a problem with bolts breaking. When that happens that is supper bad. (Removal) there is all kinds of tricks with penetrating oils and heat. Research and educate yourself on that. As far as your bolt, it...

    1966? Evinrude Big Twin 40 help

    Depending on your model number, and you must know this I guess, shafts are available but pricey. Like matt167 says, not sure why anyone would want to other than some kind of sentential reason.

    How much did you get?

    1966? Evinrude Big Twin 40 help

    I've done small outboards and none that old. For me it's usually the shift rod and drive shaft. But the one thing I've found is those are not available new. Not sure on yours. You should try to find a short shaft parts engine if you can.

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Yes, and NASA had a sq. Co2 scrubber filter on the command module and a round one one lunar module. Engineers! I did learn you could get the 585203 off another engine and change the pigtail but those are gone to. Only ones I found were $300 something used on eBay. Revenge of the Ficht I guess!
