    Yamaha controller

    I need a control for the 2020 Yamaha F115 I just purchased. Can anyone tell me the difference between a 703-48205 and 703-48207. Only difference I might be seeing is that the 48207 has another pigtail of wires coming out from it to maybe connect to a digital speedometer, while the other...

    Gauges I might need

    I have recently repowered my 1988 21’ Sylvan from a 1982 evinrude 150 to a 2020 Yamaha F115! I will need a new tach for sure! What about other gauges? The controller that came with the motor is an aftermarket 703 with a 10 pin plug and another shorter harness which I’m thinking would go to...

    No lift eye.

    I have to remove my ‘82 evinrude 150 off the boat! No lift eye! ( if that’s what it’s called). Don’t really see any place to put one other than maybe loosen the fly wheel nut and see if one fits there. Other than that, maybe a cable under the flywheel. Any words of wit? Thanks!

    Floor replacement

    B will be replacing the floor in my Sylvan Super Sportster this winter! While at Home Depot, I noticed 2 x 4 and 4x8 sheets of 1/2” white PVC. Any thoughts on using pvc as a new boat floor? Too slippery? Maybe place carpeting over it! If so what glue? All ideas, both yeah or nay, are welcome!

    No spark on half the motor!

    The 1982 evinrude 150 has no spark on its starboard side! Left side appears ok! Before I get into unknown to me territories, I’m thinking the power pack! Should I exchange packs with the good side, or maybe switch plug wires with the good side for a rather easy test! Also, if it’s the...

    Compression

    Was looking at a ‘94 Evinrude 115. Compression was 110-115 in 3 cylinders and 95 in the other! I’m thinking I should be on passing on it, but wanted some other opinions on it! I believe they are supposed to be within 10 psi of each other! Price was 1k, til I took the compression test! Oh...

    No power from ignition switch

    All of a sudden I’ve got nothing when I turn the key! Not even a starter solenoid click, but can hear the primer solenoid click when ignition is pushed in! Checked fuses and all is well there! I do have plenty of voltage going to the solenoid, but can’t jumper it and get any results! Starter...

    Johnson QD 17 water pump

    Needed to replace the impeller and plate! Went smoothly but after assembly, it still wouldn’t pump water! Turns out that the shaft drops too far down into the lower gear causing the pin/keyway to ride along the top of the plate, thus disengaging itself from the impeller! Is there a clip...

    150 hp carbs

    Anyone know if carbs off of a 1984 Johnson GT 150 would fit/work on a 1976 Evinrude 200hp?? Maybe need different jets? Thanks

    Choke to solenoid primer changeover

    I have a ‘76 evinrude 200hp with choke! Can this be changed over to a primer solenoid setup? And if so, what would need to be done? Different carbs or maybe just remove the choke plates from the current carbs? And of course, primer solenoid. Anything else! Why did JOHNSON/Evinrude change...

    Primer solenoid

    I have a 1982 evinrude 150 which may need a primer solenoid. Question is, I see some of these are called a primer choke solenoid! They look the same, but are the primer solenoid and primer CHOKE solenoid the same animal?

    Choke solenoid or primer solenoid

    Have a very hard starting 1976 evinrude and an easier starting 1982 evinrude 150 with primer solenoid! What’s the difference between a primer solenoid and choke solenoid and, could you remove the choke plates on the 1976 and install a primer solenoid? Am I making sense?

    Shifting very difficult

    Had the bellows, lower shift cable and gimble bearing replaced! Now for some recent history! Last fall, I removed the lower Alpha 1 gen 1 unit, but forgot to put the shift lever into forward! Possible dumb thing #1?? Drained the lower unit, but did not refill. Possible dumb thing #2?? The...

    Tubing, vents???

    1982 evinrude 150hp has small tubes coming out the back sides of the engine and go nowhere! Not fuel line, too small and not going to the carbs! They just dead end ! Are they vents of some sort? And for what ? Can take pics if need be but not till tomorrow! Thanks!

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    2012 evinrude 6 hp 4 stroke, made by Tohatsu, won’t stay running when connected to the external tank! Hard starting and then will run rough and die out even with a new spark plug! Disconnected the hose to get new gas thinking bad gas might be the problem! Just for s & g, pulled the starter...

    Float bowl pin stuck???

    Have a 2012 evinrude 6hp 4 stroke! The carb is flooding! Removed the carb but cannot remove the pin to remove float and needle! Pin is not rusted, just won’t slide out! If I really got serious, I could probably really put some muscle to it but could also destroy things! I feel foolish asking...

    Fuel solenoid

    All of a sudden, my 1982 evinrude 150 has become extremely difficult to start when cold. Can’t say that it starts that much easier when warm either, guess it depends on how long it sits! A fellow slip mate who coincidentally, has pretty much the same engine, only an ‘83, came over and removed...

    U joint shaft

    Will be replacing my alpha one gimbal bearing ! Once the outdrive is removed and if the u joints need replacing, would I need to remove the shaft from the unit? There appears to be kind of a slotted nut holding it on. Anything else ? Special wrench? I hate replacing u joints!!!!!!

    Alpha 1 u joint replacement

    Will be in the process of replacing the gimbal bearing on my alpha one. If the u joints will also need to be replaced, can this be accomplished while the shaft is still attached to the out drive? If the shaft assembly does need to be removed, is it just that large retainer bolt that holds it...

    Possible gimbal bearing noise

    During a recent very heavy rain storm, my auto bilge pump impeller got stuck and bilge filled up with water. Now, I hear what I perceive to be gimbal bearing noise/rumble! It’s a relatively new install! Can water infiltrate the bearing and cause this problem? And if so, can I grease the...
