    Counter rotation oceanpro 150 hp

    I have a newly acquired 2000 Oceanpro 150 hp with a counter rotation bottom end. The Clymer shop manual I bought covering this engine indicates that it is not recommended to operate one engine with counter rotation. I gave this engine a short trial on my boat and must say I was quite...

    Johnson Seahorse OKL 15 or 75

    I was just given a Johnson Seahorse model OKL 15 or 75 (hard to make out the second last digit. The motor was made in Peterborough, Canada but it is spelled as Peterboro on the flywheel cover. It hasn't been running for at least 20 years but I managed to get it running in a barrel today. I...

    2000 Ocean Pro 150 hp carburetor nipples

    On the intake manifold side of each carburetor is a brass hose nipple with no hoses connected to them. I acquired the engine this week and was told that the VRO system had already been disabled. Is it possible that these nipples which by the way are horizontal and point forward are associated...

    1979 200 hp evinrude 4000 rpm max

    My 1979 200 hp evinrude will not turn up more than 4,000 rpm at wot. Butterfly plates in the carbs are straight across at wot, plugs are burning correctly with a tan deposit, and the prop is a 14.25 inch with a 21 pitch, which I believe is one of two props offered for that year. Boat speed at...

    1979 Evinrude 200 hp V6 Foot vs 1996 Johnson 150 hp Vindicator Foot

    My 1979 200 hp V6 is grinding in reverse; I have tried adjusting through the remote control cables with no success. With the motor stopped and with the selector in the reverse position, turning the prop by hand will actually turn the flywheel most of the time, but some times it will slip. On...

    Aluminum tandem axle trailer corrosion

    I have a 1979 (I think) aluminum tandem axle trailer for my 1979 Glastron v216. There are no identifying markings on the trailer to indicate the manufacturer or year. The spring shackles are welded to mild steel angle running from front to back. The aluminum chassis of the trailer fits in the...

    Blowing in-line fuse on starting circuit 200hp 1979 Evinrude

    I have a (new to me) 1979 Evinrude 200 hp V6 which blows fuses when I use the choke solenoid on a cold start. This fuse is next to the starter solenoid and is 30 amp. I suspected that the solenoid was the problem but with it electrically disconnected the fuse will still blow when the choke/key...

    1979 Glastron Sea Fury 216 Cuddy Drain?

    I have recently acquired a 1979 Sea Fury 216 and have a question regarding an exterior factory hole on the starboard side in the cuddy area. It is about one inch in diameter and appears to be a drain from the cuddy, but because it is so close to the waterline, I am concerned the boat will take...

    1979 Evinrude 200 hp v6 fuel economy

    What fuel economy should I expect from a 1979 200 hp evinrude with proper tuning? I will be running it on a 1979 Glastron 216 Sea Fury when winter is over. I just acquired the boat and engine and have been told that the motor can be quite thirsty. All I know so far is that cold cranking...
