    25hp SS/ on a 14' Aluminum Utility- Best Prop Question

    I just bought a 1996 25hp short shaft. I have it on a 14' aluminum utility that's had a couple padded seats and a small deck installed. Boat is pretty light but with 2 people and gear we're probably looking at 700lbs. I had to raise the trim pin up to it's 2nd highest setting or else the stern...

    25 HP 2stroke. 14' Utility, Best Prop Pitch

    I just bought a 1996 25hp short shaft. I have it on a 14' aluminum utility that's had a couple padded seats and a small deck installed. I had to raise the trim pin up to it's 2nd highest setting or else the stern drove itself into the water at the top end. Is this normal? Also, it needs a...

    1996 25Hp Short Shaft, Man Start--Prop Removal

    What size is the metal nut that secures the prop to the gear case on a 1996 25hp short shaft? Any special tricks to removing it.

    76' 9.9 Rebuild-Gel Seal and Soaking Gaskets

    Hello Gentlemen: Following the advice of 'bktheking' I've pulled the powerhead from my '76 9.9 Evinrude as I'm doing a rebuild. It's all broken down and I've pulled the crank case apart because the gel seal between the two halves was gone and it was pulling air. I have 2 questions: 1: When...

    Hello Gentleman: Back at this Evinrude 9.9 Model 10655R again after the last 2 summers of changing pretty much every part on the darn thing. In my journey with this motor (wish I had started with this), I have now learned that the main Crank Case Seal is leaking and pulling air from both sides...

    1967 Evinrude Angler 5hp. Drive Shaft Length

    Ripping the motor down from a long-shaft and returning it back to the short. Got my hands on a used drive shaft 25" but it doesn't fit in length (splines are right) which is weird because the long drive shaft was 30" and there's supposed to be a 5" diff between the two. Any thoughts? Anyone...

    9.9 Evinrude-How hot is too hot?

    I have a 9.9 Evinrude. Thermostat was rusted in the open position and I recently changed it. With the old thermostat the motor blew out a lot of water with the ehxaust. It's an older model without the pee hole. Now since I've changed the thermostat it only mists out water, to the point where...

    1976 Evinrude 9.9/15 Carb Compatability

    I currently own a 76' 9.9 Evinrude. I was told that the carb for the 15hp '74-'76 fits the 9.9 exactly but just has a larger air intake. I was told that if I wanted to put a little extra kick in the motor I could swap out the original carb and upgrade to the 15hp model. Anyone had experience...
