    Fuel line bends

    I did carbs on my 1979 Evinrude 140. I THOUGHT it would be a good idea to also change the lines to newer alcohol resistent stuff. So instead of yanking the lines off the barbs I cut them off (brilliant, I know). I am concerned now that the bends may be too tight and will collapse over time...

    Wiring 2nd switch for tilt

    Re: Wiring 2nd switch for tilt I am also interested in wiring a trailering switch for the main motor 1979 Evinrude 140. This one only has the switch on the remote (top remote int he picture). Any ideas on that too? I know I dont want to do anything stupid and burn the whole system up.

    Wiring 2nd switch for tilt

    I have a Panther bracket model 40 which has a relay and 2 button switch (three wire system) used to operate the tilt. I have a OMC remote control with three wire set up for tilt control. Nothing is connected to the remote tilt switch. (see pics) You can see the little Panther relay box...

    Re: 1979 18 ft Sylvan Skipper Rebuild I didnt make it in time for duck season in northern IN but I took her out for a ride the other day for the first time since the rebuild. Someone asked about how it rides with the tank in front. In 2-3 foot chop the boat did well. I can definately tell I...

    1979 18 ft Sylvan Skipper Rebuild

    Re: 1979 18 ft Sylvan Skipper Rebuild Heres some progress. Got the kicker on and the bracket is killer. Had to set back 1 inch from the transom and also raise the bracket due to the curve of the transom. No problem though. I think it is still correct and functions well. Got the battery in...

    1979 18 ft Sylvan Skipper Rebuild

    Re: 1979 18 ft Sylvan Skipper Rebuild I moved the tank to the bow. Is it okay to locate the vent about 1/3 of the way back from the bow? I'm wonding about water getting into the vent itself from splashing? You can see the vent in the pic.

    Re: 87 Evinrude 15hp starts and dies Check the tank inlet screen for blockage or better yet use a different tank/line/primer bulb altogether. Also, see: http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/OMC/OMC%20info.htm

    Re: 1979 18 ft Sylvan Skipper Rebuild More pics of electrical. I'm soldering wire splices and crimping ring terminals. Using adhesive lined shrink tubing. I ran 14 duplex wire to the fuse box behind the dash. Everything will run off that. I'm not really color coding. Blk is always ground...

    1979 18 ft Sylvan Skipper Rebuild

    Re: 1979 18 ft Sylvan Skipper Rebuild Thanks! Cut out the dash, put in the splashwell boots, started electrical. Panel is 3/4 white oak. I used a hole saw for the smaller gauges (trim indicator, temps (one for each head), volts, amps, and fuel) and a jigsaw for the tach. 30 dollars for a...
