    Electric controls-from '96 70 HP to '95 115

    Good afternoon! I just swapped out a 115 V-4 Evinrude from a 70 HP that was on there. I'll post engine numbers if necessary :) It mated right up to the transom, the steering linkage fits like a glove, but the electric connections are different. Does anyone know if there's a conversion...

    1996 70 HP evinrude reverse problems

    Damn. I've got a problem with my reverse now... 1. The reverse has been 'grinding' a bit for a long time. Nothing too dramatic, but you can hear it when it goes in. A second and a half period of minor grindage 2. Last night wanted to go out for a spin, the boat wouldn't go into reverse...

    70 HP '97 evinrude head bolt part number and source?

    I'm working on my 70 HP evinrude, replacing some of the head bolts, exhaust and head gasket. I was able to get the gaskets I needed at a local dealer, but they wanted 10 bucks for the head bolts. Three questions: -The bolts popped (three of them) because it over heated. Should I replace all...

    70 HP 'rude, where's the adjustment for idle timing?

    I've got a 1996, 70HP evinrude. It starts fine (a bit harder than it used to be, but acceptable), but once it's through with the fast start cycle, the RPMs drop from about 1100 and the engine cuts out. I've watched this with a timing light, and it's really not close-running about 5 degrees ATDC...

    Good Morning!<br /><br />I've got a 1996, 70HP evinrude on my pontoon. It's been a great engine so far, but all at once a couple of weeks ago I started having problems when warming it up or shifting back to neutral. It starts fine (a bit harder than it used to be, but acceptable), but once...

    96 70 HP, reverse problems

    Hey board.<br /><br />I've got a 96 70 HP 'rude that has problems going in reverse. I changed the water pump over the winter, and thanks to the advice I received on the board it was a snap! I put my boat in the water for the season yesterday, but had problems with reverse. I revved it up to...

    Buddy didn't winterize, need to help get him running!

    Good day. Some close friends of ours had a tragedy befall their family in November, and the last thing on their minds was winterizing their boat. They have a 2002 VIP with (I think) a 4.3 liter mercruiser i/o. When I helped them pull it out last season, they said they were going to get it...

    General PWC Starter question

    I picked up a pretty clean '93 tigershark for a pretty good deal (or so I thought). When I got done with some of the mundane cleanup work on it, I tried to get it started. The starter whirs away, but no bang bang. I thought it may have been a low voltage situation, so I charged up the...

    Rookie with a pontoon

    Hey list.<br /><br />I'm an ex submariner who used to sit around the QM plot at 3 AM at about 500 feet under the water and talk about how my next tour of duty would be on a pontoon boat with a beer. Well, now I'm permanantly assigned to a 1997 20' lowe pontoon with a 70 Hp evinrude outboard...
