    Proper knot for tying to a metal loop on the dock?

    The dock at the marina I use has metal rings to tie off to instead of cleats. What is the proper knot to tie off to those rings? I've never actually tied off there before until a couple days ago to get some lunch, but after finding out how good the food is at the restaurant is I have a feeling...

    Very low power from 1968 evirude 18 hp

    The drama with this motor continues. I finally got to take it out on the water today after doing a ton of work on it. One of the things I did was rebuild the fuel pump because it was fouling plugs really bad due to extra gas getting into the motor from a bad diaphragm. The crazy part is, now...

    Random carb question on 1968 18 hp evinrude

    When I recently rebuilt the carb on my 1968 evinrude, I saw that it had a rubber tipped float needle, but did not have the spring, and didn't even have a groove for one on it. It looked just like the picture I've saw of the factory all metal needles but with a rubber tip. I was curious if...

    1968 evinrude 18 hp throttle timing question

    When I tried to adjust the throttle timing, even with the cam plate adjusted as far back as it will go, the butterfly still starts to open before the roller is between the marks. Are there any other places to make adjustments to help this? The only adjustment I've heard talked about is moving...

    Armature plate wobble on 1968 evinrude 18 hp

    I noticed today my armature plate has some side to side wiggle to it. I finally noticed it as a result of ordering a coil ring from Frank. I checked my coils with it, and I noticed they were set in a little too far. After I set them out with the ring, I noticed they were sitting flush with...

    Thermostat change questions 1968 evinrude 18hp

    I am putting a new thermostat in my 1968 evinrude 18 hp. I figured as cheap as it was, and since so many of the other parts in this motor seemed to have never been replaced, it couldn't hurt. I have two questions about the install. First, do I put anything on the new gasket for the cover...

    1968 evinrude 18hp deflector behind fuel pump?

    I was looking over a parts diagram of my motor tonight, and I noticed there is a "deflector" part number 303680 shown between the fuel pump and the bypass cover. My motor does not have that part on it. What is the purpose of that part, and what problems could come from not having it?

    Replacing lower seal kit 1968 evinrude fastwin 18 hp

    ****EDIT**** After reading a few very informative posts by oldcatamount, F_R_, and kfa4303 I found out that this is not a 1968 lower unit. It appears to be a 1971 from what I can tell. The main difference being that the 68 does not have the detent spring and balls I mentioned under the clutch...

    Fixing loose throttle 1968 evinrude fastwin 18 hp

    When turning the throttle on this motor, the shaft that goes up into the motor doesn't turn untill the rest of the system has moved quite a bit. The two gears with the black arrows turn together with the handle, but the control lever with the red arrow doesn't. In the opening in the throttle...
