    1997 mercury sea pro 40hp parts, is it a Tohatsu?

    Serial number 0G059652 I bought a 1997 sea pro 40 hp today and it runs good but is hard to cold start and is leaking oil from the lower unit out the water intake. Started trying to find a carb rebuild kit and some lower unit seals and they look like a rare breed. Are they a Tohatsu and I need to...

    2007 4 stroke Suzuki 175 foot donors

    While fishing Monday we hit a rock and bent the prop shaft on our 07 175 Suzuki 4 stroke. It is a 25" shaft and I am wondering if a foot from any motor other than the Suzuki 4 stroke 150/175 will work? Also can you pull the prop shaft without pulling the whole foot?

    Measuring transome angle

    I built a 18' aluminum boat and built my transom angle to 15 degrees I thought. When I took it for its first test drive, I did not have enough down trim to keep the boat from bouncing as if my transom angle was not even close to 15 degrees. I set my angle by putting my angle finder on the bottom...

    I have started a build on a 17.5' length X 4.5' bottom width 1/8" thick hull boat build. Here are some pictures of the hull stamped out of a 20'x8' aluminum sheet. I cult the V and tacked it up and then cut the rake. I fitted the transom on with the 6" built in jack plate. The hull has a built...

Where would you recommend setting my cavitation plate on my 60hp ETEC for an initial starting point? My transom has a 6" set back built into it. I dont want to mount it too low and not be able to...

    all welded aluminum 16' boat transom addition

    I have a 16' aluma-weld boat that I put a brand new 50hp ETEC motor on. The new motor is significantly "my guess is 200 lbs" heavier than the 91 40hp evinrude I replaced and now the transom sits too low and the boat does really bad in shallow water as far as the prop hitting the bottom. I run in...

    "13 1/2 X 19-k 58 J" What prop is this?

    A guy locally has a stainless prop for sale that he thinks fits a V-4 Johnson/Evinrude. He said it is 15 spline and the only markings on it are "13 1/2 X 19-k 58 J". I know that this is a 13 1/2 diameter with 19 pitch prop. Does anyone know how to tell the style or brand of it? What is 58 J?

    I am the proud new owner of a ETEC 60. My boat is a 16' AlumaWeld with a hydralift hull. I ran my friends Stiletto 19 pitch prop and I had a really slow hole shot.

    Homemade boat motor rating using formula?

    I found this formula and am wondering how to measure the transome on my aluminum boat. It is 3.5' at the bottum of the transom and 5.5' at the top. Which measure do I use? (2 X L X W) -90 = rated horsepower Where: L=boat length W=transom width; if the boat does not have a full transom, the...

    60 hp ETEC warranty question

    I am in the market for a 60 hp ETEC. The dealer I called with the best price says that he has to install it for warranty reasons. He says he has to put it on the boat to run it so he can do some required things for the warranty to be valid. He does not charge for installing it so that is not the...

    91 40 hp stator wire volts drop from 14 volts-4 volts after running for 10 minutes

    I just fixed a shorted trim wire problem and the boat is still running bad. My boat will run great for about 10 minutes and then it will only idle after getting warmed up, the idle is ruff. I checked the voltage coming from the stator wires with the boat just cranked and I got a 14.8 volt...

    91 johnson 40 horse melted wire coming from starter solenoid to relay

    I have a 91 johnson that started running bad when it ran out of gas. I got gas for it and it would only idle after restarting, if I gave it any gas it would start running real bad. My thought was it sucked up trash in the carb, but I have brand new tanks, fuel lines, and a in-line fuel filter. I...
