    Fine Tuning 1956 15hp evinrude Fastwin

    I picked this engine up last year and just got around to working on it. Started right up in the test tank after I read starting instructions and turned the small knob wide open instead of at 3 like someone else instructed. Put her in gear and ran her for twenty minutes fine. Now I'm gonna try...

    1956 Evinrude 15hp outboard

    Ok. I picked one up last year hoping to use it, but the seller didn't tell me that the lower unit had water in it so I didn't have money to fix it. Now I do, but when I went to the marina they told me that it is probably was the drive shaft and that its impossible to fix. Does that sound...

    1971 larson lapline 14 ft side panel questioning

    Question. I am close to finishing and have decided I like the interior of the boat without the decorative side panels. My father is insisting the panels have some kind of structural significance since below them was a contured hard board on each side. Do I need them or not. I don't have a...

    Chrysler Control Question?

    Ok new to the outboard thing. I have just purchased a 1972 Chrysler 35hp. I am confused by the controls. If I were to put the controls on the starboard side where I sit, either the control cables would be going toward the bow of the boat, or the handle would be facing down. What am I missing...

    69 Johnson 55hp Junk?

    I am new to this. I have a big boat and figured on fixing up a small boat (1971 14ft Larson Lapline) this winter to occupy my time. I finished the interior felt pretty good and the last thing to do was get the motor running. The charity I bought it from said the water wasn't circulating and...

    1971 Larson 14ft Lapline

    Just picked this baby up for $495 on ebay. This will supplement my big boat when the waves on Lake Michigan are too high and we want a puddle jumper for the small inland lakes. Tubing and stuff. Needs some work. Holes on bow look like they are from some windlass that he took off. I will...
