    Changing from Nissan NS8 to Evinrude 15hp

    I am changing outboards and due to my inexperience with outboards I'm not sure what I might need regardign fuel line fittings. Should the Evinrude have the same connectors as the Nissan (my friend is delivering tomorrow early am)? Do I need to buy new fittings and are they easy to install...

    Lugging...

    I feel like my 8hp is lugging a little bit. It was running fine and the boat was getting up to about 13mph and now the boat goes about 5mph. If I disconnect the fuel line and let it run out of fuel it leans out and the motor runs perfect for a few seconds before it quits. I know it's not...

    Transport Outboard

    I am looking to purchase a 15hp outboard to replace my 8hp and hopefully get moving down the lake a bit faster. The only listings I'm finding in my area are 150+ miles away. I have a friend that lives down that way and I need to figure out what it would take to transport a motor. He is...

    What are my options?

    Silly question

    I know this is a retarded question, but I'm unsure of the answer nonetheless. The PO of my boat wired in a fuse box and all of the + connections run through it. Simple enough. The grounds all seem to be wired to a negative battery connector like it was originally connected to the negative...

    My 1st Boat

    Well I bought a boat yesterday. I have always talked about getting a little fishing boat, but I kinda didn't think it would ever happen. I always talk about getting a pool table and a motorcycle for my g/f also, so we'll see what happens on those fronts later. I constantly search CL looking...

    Securing boat in my driveway

    I bought my first boat last night (hopefully of many in the future) and because I need to store it right out front in my driveway I'm trying to find a way to secure it there. I also own sportbikes and sometimes park out front for a brief period if I need the garage for a project. I would like...

    Starts then stalls

    I am purchasing a boat today and the outboard on it (8hp Nissan) starts and runs for about 20 seconds and then stalls. That's all the information I have as of now as I haven't purchased the boat yet. I'm basically trading something of no value to me for it so I'm happy to acquire it even if...
