    Motor just dies

    I have a Evinrude Tracker Pro Series 115 hp TE115TLEIE Serial # 602618185 I was having some problems with the plug wires staying on. If I took the cowling off and then put it back on it would hit the plug wire and pull it out of the cap. I have zip tied them on and that seems to have fixed the...

    old boat

    When we moved into the house we live in now, about 10 years ago, the previous owner had left a old boat up in the woods. I guess the police would not let him take it in the police car when they hauled him off. Being as he is still in jail, and will be for a long time, I am guessing he won't...

    wire for trolling motor

    I just picked up a trolling motor. I have to extend the power wire as it is not long enough to reach the battery. The wire on it now is 6 gauge and all I have here is 10 gauge.

    Should I have a choke?

    I have what I think is a late 80's mere 90 hp. The guy I got it from put it on the boat and then rigged up the controls. He put in a new ignition switch. The old switch was on the controls and you pushed the key to use the choke. I am sure it was a feature of the controls hooked to the original...
