    1958 Evinrude 18hp electric start

    Re: 1958 Evinrude 18hp electric start Here are the wiring diagrams I used to wire my 1959 18hp Evinrude. I was able to install everything inside to cover but you have the clam shell cover so things will be different with a lot of the wiring being done on the outside of the motor. The kill/stop...

    Exhaust manifold problem - can any one help urgently

    Re: Exhaust manifold problem - can any one help urgently One of the biggest culprits with manifolds getting hot is blocked water passages. The elbow is where water and hot exhaust join and exit to the Y-pipe. Saltwater operation and crud buildup can block this area fairly easily. Check the...

    1979 25hp Evinrude Long Shaft to Short Shaft Conversion

    Just bought this 1979 25hp Evinrude long Shaft electric start (25905R) because as I get older (68) I find it harder and harder to pull start my sweet dependable 1959 Evinrude 18. Need to convert this 25 to short shaft. This motor came with the 5" extension so what I have read is all I need is...

    impeller/outdrive questions

    Re: impeller/outdrive questions Like Bond-O said - MC-1 behind a Ford engine. Looks like you should pull the entire outdrive and do a bellows job. If you need the trim rams you can probably find them on eBay. You can find a .pdf manual for the drive in the 'Adult section' at the top of the...

    Interior questions. Bayliner Capri

    Re: Interior questions. Bayliner Capri A nice drop curtain made of matching vinyl with some strips of Velcro for fasteners should do the job. Carpet replacement in the cuddy will be a pain to replace. The ole' back takes a beating in cramped quarters of a cuddy. Just start removing the old...

    1993 mercruiser 4.3 overheating

    Re: 1993 mercruiser 4.3 overheating Forget about the gauge for now. The manifolds/risers are too hot because of restricted water flow. Drain the outdrive oil then drop the lower unit and change the impeller, being sure everything is installed correctly as per the correct manual for this drive...

    some goop in drive bellows

    Re: some goop in drive bellows I did not see where you had replaced the big flat o-ring that seals the drive from outside water entering. Item 14 in the image. Did you replace the o-ring between the inlet water galley of the upper unit and the gimble housing? Item 13 in the image. Yes a bone...

    Trim Adjustment

    Re: Trim Adjustment Is this what you are talking about? Adjusting the trim limit switch is the only adjustment and that is done at the outdrive.

    Re: oil pressure drops at 3500rpm only under load. Generally you can find the gear ratio on the port side of the upper half of the outdrive. Check the picture.

    I would like an over-temp alarm. What is it going to take?

    Title pretty sums it up. I would like an over-temp alarm. What is it going to take? I'm running a high mileage, saltwater 305 and would like to install an over-temp alarm. Have no idea what to look for. Boat in question in sig file.

    Boat/Marine torque specs

    Re: Boat/Marine torque specs Those types of installations most likely use stainless screws that go into fiberglass and wood. No torque just tight. Loctite for fasteners probably won't do much to hold the screws but you can pickup a tube of Loctite epoxy which works well for holding screws...

    1984 305 thermostat

    Re: 1984 305 thermostat Thanks Don. 898 isn't stamped or labeled anywhere. The spark arrestor plastic cover only indicates MerCruiser 288. I've always been curious why such a cool thermostat is used in this application. Is there a problem using a 160? thermostat in a emergency which I carry...

    62 tinny what brand and info? hp limit? picts attached

    Re: 62 tinny what brand and info? hp limit? picts attached I don't see any knees/gussets on the transom so 15hp might be a bit much. I had a 1973 14' tinny and it was placarded for 12hp. My current 14' 1970 MirroCraft tinny does have knees/gussets and is placarded for 25hp. I'm running a 1959...
