    reinforcing transom

    i have a 14' Jon boat that I pulled the transom the other day to reinforce / replace the wood. My transon would actually flex when the motor was throttled, which then would affect the trim of the motor. So, I decided to replace it and try to possibly reinforce it a bit. First off, the...

    Johnson / Evinrude 9.9 or 15 owners question

    Mine is a 76 15. Is this motor designed that when you twist the throttle all the way down, the motor dies? My motor runs and idles fine, but if I twist it below slow, it dies. Someone told me that is correct for these motors, but I also own a Johnson 9.5 that idles when twisted all the way...

    76 evinrude 15hp flywheel removal

    Having a hard time getting the flywheel off, i was wondering what methods you guys have used with problematic flywheels. Can you tap the flywheel from underneath? When you tap it with a hammer or rubber mallet, do you hit it directly from on top, or from the side? What products have you guys...
