    1975 75hp...about to take a hammer to it!

    Re: 1975 75hp...about to take a hammer to it! First I'd start with clean and tight connections including tight terminals on the battery. Make sure it has a fully charge too. After that test your starter selonoid then your starter itself. My engine is a 150 horse but as a guide these might...

    Wire

    Can anyone identify this part? Why is this on my boat?

    Re: Can anyone identify this part? Why is this on my boat? I looks to me like your missing the spline washer. That would account for the play on your prop shaft. Here is a picture of mine for comparison. Tom

    NADA pricing

    I was on the internet the other night looking up prices for used outboards. Just for shi*s and giggles I looked up 89 Force 150 and it said $130.00. I could hardly believe that. I spent more on a new starter and rectifier. Cheers, Tom

    Tachometer acting funny

    Re: Tachometer acting funny Is your rectifier working? If I may ask why did you get a new tach? I'm not sure what your wire color is but the signal wire should run back to one of the ac wires coming from your stator into your rectifier. Sometimes you can switch to the other ac wire if you are...
