    Any ideas on a sticking manual trim piston?

    My 1991 Evinrude 48 SPL manual trim wants to stick in different positions. I can loosen the piston and free it temporarily, but it keeps getting locked up. Any ideas on what I can do?

    Manual trim sticking - 48 SPL

    My trim is sticking and I have to get out the channel locks to release pressure on my manual trim piston. I made the mistake of running the boat today and couldn't get it loose after putting the boat on the trailor due to a small space to get in there with the channel locks. Do you have any...

    Synthetic blend 2 cycle oil to conventional

    I was in a remote area and had to purchase a conventional 2 cycle oil instead of my usual synthetic blend. The engine seemed to run fine when I switched tanks (to the conventional tank). I quit trolling after another 45 min. and headed for the dock when my engine started surging while running...

    Fiberglass deck depression

    I have discovered a depression in the deck of my boat beneath the original carpet. It feels like a softball-sized hole, should I plug it with structural foam and then glass it over?

    1991 evinrude 48 SPL pulsating at high speed

    My 48 SPL is now pulsating when I get on plane. I replaced the fuel line assembly a few weeks ago and it ran great for a while, but now it is happening again. Four days ago I was riding back from my fishing spot and as I was turning my external gas tank around and the fuel line came apart from...

    1991 Evinrude 48 SPL, cleaning carb.

    Is this a job I can do myself? I'm always looking to save some $ and learn new things about my engine at the same time. The shop did a great job last year, but if I can do it myself, I would love to put that money towards gas for the Fall season. Thank you in advance!

    Evinrude 48 SPL pulses when on plane

    I have had this engine for a while on my 16' Stratos and overall it has run great. I had the carb. cleaned last fall (2007) and it has been doing good until recently. I can run at trolling speeds with no problem, but when I am on plane the engine pulses like it's running out of gas. This...
