    Ok, what to check /PICS PICS--Low Power

    So, I've got great water flow thanks to the sticky and subsuquent change of the impeller. Everything shifts fine, and it starts well. As a matter of fact, it SEEMS to run ok at idle/low speed. However, I may be allowing for a lot of leeway, as my other outboard is a 'Rude 9.9 with no...

    Getting a manual, of any type, makes sense

    So I finally got my latest "Ebay" find; a 12/1982 Chysler Marine Service Manual for 45 & 50hp outboards and I'm liking it. I got lucky and found it for $11.00 but it does, of course, have a limited audience. My engine is a 1983 50hp so it was perfect. Regardless of the type, however, having...

    Decals? Anybody got 'em?

    Anybody carry or remake the original decals for cowlings? I know there are companies that make aftermarket decals, but from what I've seen, they're just generic "Chrylser" and not like the originals. Anybody got a line on OEM or "Copies" of the original decals for say my '83 50hp?

    '96 Evinrude Yachtwin (9.9)-telltale question

    I picked up this 9.9 early this spring and it's been a good motor, to-date. PO seems to have done his maintenance, which in Florida, makes all the difference in the world. Lately, however, I've been struggling with my newly acquired power boat's outboard and cooling has been an issue. Which...

    Just great, another 'newbie' with a dumb question?!?!

    Hello everybody. I must say, it's pretty cool watching some of you 'masters' bringing these old beautys back to life. I'm learning a lot and will need lots of help next year when I plan to tear down the 15' Riviera that's in the garage. As for now, I'm having loads of questions answered in the...

    Question about a 90s Tohatsu 40hp (should I trade?)

    Ok, I've got a dealer that will take my '83 Chrysler 50hp in trade for his early 90s Tohatsu 40hp (two cylinder), plus $250.00. I've also got to purchase a prop, but controls are included. I know virtually nothing about nothing, although I'm learning and have been getting some really good...

    Question about lower unit fluid...

    Changing out an impeller, I removed the drive shaft and sat the lower unit against my tool bench and walked away. Came back to find that it had tipped over and about 4-5 ounces of fluid had spilled out (on the positive side the fluid was nice and fresh looking). I understand it takes about a...

    If ignition switch is wired wrong, will coils be hot to touch?

    Chrysler 50hp (507H3D), both coils are super hot to touch, even after sitting for couple of hours? I saw an older thread that talked about this on a Force, where the suggestion was to check the wiring to the switch? First, if it's wired wrong, is that going to cause the coils to stay hot? If...

    Hot Tamales! (coils) but why?

    So, I took out the Riviera today with the newly switched out 50 (507H3D--1983), you know, the one where I had the local wrench switch out the lower units and install onto the boat. Anyway, if you're behind, the saga is all easily found (lol). Of course, as is normal anytime I put trust in...

    Running lean question:

    If my 50hp (507H3D) is "running lean" what exactly are we talking about? I've heard, in the past, that lean/rich can of course apply to the gas/oil mixture, but can also apply to a carb setting. How does one know, for a fact, if a motor is running lean and then how do you differentiate between...

    Oh, Frank or Jerry, I need youuuuu.

    So, during the whole, "Ouch that's hot" thread, Frank mentioned that my motor is the "older style" that has the only water coming from the plastic tube, etc. etc. My question now, is; is it still ok to do the "telltale install"? I know something is slightly amiss as I've now acquired 2 50hp...

    Smaller Outboard Trim-Poll....Where do you keep your pin?

    So, for those of us who use 75hp outboards and below, where does everybody keep their trim pin? I mean the pin that's closest to the transom that allows your motor to stop going down any further. There's 3 options in the poll: #1 is the lowest possible spot-meaning the engine is a far down as...

    Attention "Newbie" 50hp Owners (& others I'm sure)Cooling Info!!

    Ok, so I learn most things the hard way. A few of you may have been following my 'overheating/compression' thread(s) on my 1983 50hp outboard. Well, as it turns out, the biggest problem I had was "self". Here's the scoop; Doing what a lot of us do, I was using a rather large trash can filled...

    OUCH, that's hot! (pics now added, look)

    So, following a wise man's advice, I decided to run my newly acquired '83 Chrysler 50hp (507H3D) to blow out the carbon and to do a shakedown. Before I could get her off the trailer, I wanted to check the tube from the thermostat to make sure there was water there (no telltale, YET) as I was in...

    Controlling the OB with the rudder?

    Does anyone manufacture and sell a 'clamp' of sorts that would attach to a stern hung rudder and an outboard engine? My thoughts are that in tight manuveraing in marinas or in my case the channel behind the house, having that extra control would make the boat turn in a tighter radius. I've...

    Rebuild or replace? 50hp content matter.

    Some of you may know, I've got a minor compression issue in my 1983 50hp, model#507H3D. I'm in the process of diagnosing that issue with today's stage being a "decarb" using Seafoam. Any advice in that arena is greatly appreciated. However, here's today's dilemna. I've come across another...

    What's the best manual for my 50hp?

    1983 Chrysler 50hp, model #507H3D Which manual is the best, knowing that one of us (that's me), isn't very astute at this whole, maintanence/repair of the old outboard. However, I plan to change all that. So, which manual do I order that speaks english, yet is thorough enough to help get the...

    Compression test - 1 cyclinder lower on 50hp - what's next?

    Motor is a 1983 Chrylser 50hp, model# 507H3D Ok, so once I got my shift linkage fixed and could put the motor in neutral, I decided to do a compression test. Went to Harbor Freight and bought a cheap, $10.00 test, followed the instructions by removing both plugs, threaded tester into top...

    Help my 50hp steer better (i.e. easier)

    Ok, thanks to some helpful forum members I was able to correct my shift linkage and now want to move on to the next issue at hand. My 1983 Chrysler 50hp, model #507H3D, is an abolute bear to steer. PO installed new steering cables, but it didn't help. I've verified that it's not a cabling...

    Help with Chrysler 50 shift linkage

    Ok, hi first of all. Been more of a reader than a poster. So, I'm a Capricorn...oh, wait, probably wrong forum for that, huh? On a more pressing note, however, I recently picked up an older boat with a Chrysler 50hp on the back. Model # is, 507H3D, and from what I'm garnering via the...
