    1954 Evinrude 7.5 Purchase

    I have the opportunity to purchase this motor for very cheap, from the pics it looks complete and in great condition, although it won't run the owner says it isn't locked up, for cheap I mean under $100. Is it worth getting, it there any collectors value to owning this motor? Thanks

    1983 9.9 I just rebuilt, an issue

    Upon assembly I noticed the tiller was hard to turn, i know they are normally not easy to turn so they won't move by themselves but this thing is crazy hard to rotate, so bad that the tiller gears will jump. I had the timing plate and bearing off to inspect, nothing bent, plastic bearing still...

    Restoration 1983 16.5 FT Canadian Thundercraft

    Here is a pre destruction pic of one of my pride and joys (now it is at least) I've been a member for a while but haven't posted about my restore yet. I bought this boat last year from my boss for $2500 , $500 less than what he was asking, guess it was a "I know you price". I had a 16ft...

    Calling on the 9.9 experts

    I have an 83 johnson 9.9 i'm rebuilding, the tiller gears are badly worn and I hate the gear mesh setup. I was looking at the parts diagram on an 88, they converted to a cable type system. The difference I can see is a gear ball and pivot and the tiller arm itself, question is, can the system be...

    1983 Johnson 9.9 powerhead

    I picked up this motor and was told it locked up. I pulled the reed valve plate and dicovered the inside of the titanic, everything is rusted solid. I want to get a used powerhead for it, what years will work on this motor? I know 74-76were points ignition but will the powerhead still work? Thanks

    1975 Evinrude 9.9 Slow Idle Question

    I have searched the forums already and not sure of the answer. I picked this motor up , the slow idle knob and adjustment bar were missing. The previous owner rigged up some spring and wire contraption to keep it at idle. This is great and all but I don't like jerry rigging when the parts can be...

    1983 Johnson 90 v-4, simple fix I hope

    Hello to all, I am new to the forums but have used them many times researching and repairing. Through my research I found out that my Johnson had a connection on the lower unit for a speedometer. I connected the tube to the lower unit to my new speedo and figured out that it did indeed work. It...
