    What is this thing?

    It's like a prop at the end of a rope? NVM, just read the plaque (again). I did not think "log" meant what it did (and taffrail did not fit). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taffrail

    Is there a drain in the lower engine cover?

    Some mud daubers built in various places under my engine cover. I was able to remove the bulk of the mud, but I'm wondering if I can rinse things off to get rid of the bits that fell to the bottom? Is it OK to use a bit of low-pressure water to rinse things out? Does the water have a safe place...

    Fuel/oil ratio for a 1982 Suzuki DT2?

    Anyone know? I just got the motor running (bad condenser) and have since replaced the impeller too. I have not run it very hard, but want to make sure of my mix before I do. Thanks, Eric

    Evinrude '93 50HP Tilt and Trim not working

    Any QL Volvo Penta prop owners out there?

    I'm just curious if you compared it to the TP Hustler? I wanted to get away from a single piece hub, and I liked that iboats is offering the QL with free shipping, so that means a $10 savings over the Hustler. But this "torsion rod" concept on the QL seems a little less straightforward that the...

    1982 Suzuki DT2 parts?

    I've got no spark. I'm still in troubleshooting mode, getting ready to pull the flywheel. Once off, planning to at least replace points and condenser. Problem is my Internet searches are not turning up part sources. Any ideas for parts? Thank you

    Multiple props, same over-rev'ing problem

    Since my gut is telling me this is not a prop problem (I've been through 3), I'm posting here in the Evinrude forum. If you deem this to be a prop problem, then please move it to the proper propeller forum (I know there is only one, I just wanted to say "proper propeller). Overview: After an...
