    1988 Evinrude 90HP

    Hi I have a 1988 Evinrude 90HP Model number CE90TLCCA I'd like to convert it to a extra long 25 " shaft. I'm converting a old Sangster from inboard to outboard. Plan is to beef up the transom attach it to stringers ect., build a splashwell in front, and hang my outboard off the transom. But I'd...

    Gimbal bearing.

    pulled my slant six dodge engine as advised to remove my gimbal bearing. My question is after removing the engine the drive shaft pushed forward and out from rear to front. Now the bearing is in there and I’m not sure the procedure to get it out. There doesn’t appear to be any snap rings, the...

    Leak

    I'm going to look at a 20.5 ft Chapparal. It got loose from the owners dock and banged around on the rocks before he got to it and tied it up to a dock at noon. 8am the next day the stern was 3/4's full of water. They pulled it out professional mechanics did their stuff and the 80 hr engine and...

    What is this?

    My new, old, boat is basically put away hard to get at it for the winter. So I’m posting a picture of the transom and to the left of the big motor and to the right of the black cable is a round painted white fitting at the bottom of the transom. What is it and could it be my problem of taking on...

    1994 Spectrum 1850 with 90hp Mercury Force engine

    I took this boat out for the first time today and was using the bilge pump to pump out a sizeable amount of water and drained a good amount out the drain plug after getting the boat out of the water. At the back is the bilge hole which I had a plug in and another hole to the right of it facing...

    Compatible drives

    I have a 1993 Force 90 hp I just bought with a boat and when I got it home and dropped the drive oil, about a cup or two of clean water came out and then some nasty looking black oil. The boat hasn’t been in the water since Jan 2017 so I’m assuming my drive and prop shaft bearings are probably...

    Question about a jet drive

    2005 Johnson 90 HP with a jet drive. Is it as simple as drop the jet drive and pop in a complete outdrive or is there more to it? Im looking at a motor with a jet drive but would feel better if I had a backup outdrive for down the road replacement.

    Low profile motor?

    I have a 1985 mercruiser 5.7L that I hooked up to a SEI outdrive. It sticks up above the old floor level and I had to build a 12 inch high doghouse around the top of the motor. Which i don't like and with a smaller back deck think its a tripping hazard. The 1976 Fiberform used to have a type R...

    Hello I have a 21ft fiberform dual helm with a flying bridge. Having issues maintaining control of the boat and fishing (trolling) at the same time by myself. The steering is hydraulic. I'm wondering if anyone has mounted a steering wheel at the back of the boat in the transom area to allow some...

    Mercruiser outdrives

    Are any mercruiser outdrives for 6 cylinder engines (depending on model I suppose) useable on a 8 cylinder engine or are they to light? Thank you. I have a alpha one on my 5.7 setup but know of a inline six setup with a good outdrive that might be had for cheap. I guess it's all about gear...

    8 or 9.9 hp

    I have a 21 foot Fibreform with a flying bridge. Looking to switch my kicker and wondered if a 8 hp would do it. 9.9's seem to be the norm, is there that much of a drop off that the 8 hp wouldn't do the job. In rough water I'd be using the inboard. Thanks for input.

    Trailer guide

    I have a 22 foot Fibreform with a flying bridge on a older Eze loader trailer. I often fish by myself and have run into trailering issues if the waters a little rough. So I'm thinking of adding trailer guides. If anyone has experience in the pros and cons of guide boards 6 feet or so on each...
