    1968 OMC Recoil Problems

    Ok, to start off with this is not from an outboard,but it is from a 1968 OMC snowcruiser with a OMC motor. I'm trying to figure out why when I pull the cord, the dogs don't pop out and catch. This set up has no springs and has a ratchet that it is supposed to grab. Can anyone tell me how this...

    3.0 1989 Omc cobra engine problems

    I bought a 17' 1989 Tempest boat with a 3.0 Omc cobra in it. Ran good until the outdrive gave up. I rebuilt the outdrive, rebuilt the boat, and now all of a sudden Iron Duke is more like Lead duke. Every time I give it, it tries to go then threatens to stall, then repeats process. So I cleaned...

    Just bought an Evinrude Super Fastwin

    I just bought an Evinrude Super Fastwin with the serial no. 15012-44477. What year would this outboard be and how many horsepower? It came with an old pressurized Mercury tank from between 1953-1956 according to pictures, are these tanks more valuable than the standard OMC pressurized tank? It...

    Boat repowering

    Re: Boat repowering I've never actually driven it, just got it, it's an i/o and has no manufacture recommendation or coast guard plate as it was built in the 60's in a local town, not sure of the weight. It currently has a 289 Ford coupled to an eaton outdrive.

    1980's Honda 10hp

    I have a buddy that just got a 1980's 10hp Honda outboard. The previous owner said it needed a carb job. Are these motors easy to get parts for? It's his first outboard, I've own many outboards and have repaired many from 1939-1981. Are these motors any good or are they just a boat anchor? He...

    1939-1940 Johnson 2.5hp HS-10

    Here's a question for the experts, I have a 1939 or 1940 Johnson 2.5hp HS-10. I was given this motor my a friend and the motor belonged to her grandfather. I've so far got it unseized, it has spark now, I'm missing a piece for the carb that would govern the throttle. Is this motor worth...

    Eaton outdrive

    I bought a boat recently that is a 20' open fishing boat, it has a 289 Dearborn Interceptor in it that is attached to an eaton outdrive, I was told the motor ran and kit has new oil in it and new impellers. Should I replace this set up? Switch sterndrives? Or will it work just fine.

    convert a 1971 6hp Chrysler into a 15hp

    So I've got this 1971 6hp Chrysler given to me by a friend, it runs great except the recoil is junk, anyway, I want to convert it into a 15hp. I think this is possible only because they look to have the same block. What will I need to do this? This is my first Chrysler and one of my newest...
