    2017 Tohatsu M20 DEPS shift/throttle cable adjustment?

    Hi, I just installed a new Tohatsu into my old little boat and have an issue regarding shifting - Forward engages well at throttle still idle - Forward is just a little shy from disengaging when lever is moved into neutral, can require pulling back to the Reverse side. - Reverse does not engage...

    E35ECSM electrics ****-up

    Ok, condition slow turning starter. Honed battery terminals, renewed battery cable connectors. No help, but starter turns fine with plugs out. Then I realized the main plus connector is sized for circuit switch that has a 10mm terminal post while the battery has 8mm. So I added the switch...

    DIY LU pressure tester?

    Any ideas on how to make pressure tester for LU for DIY pressure testing? I can get an oil fitting for the LU, and maybe demolish a ~30 USD bicycle foot pump with pressure gauge, I think its hose would fit directly with the fitting. Are there any fittings that would allow installing a bike air...

    E35ECSM slow to crank

    Well, the symptoms are: - In the spring before splash cranked and spun like a dream. - After sitting at the dock for some time the outboard turned slow to crank. But cranked properly every few tries. - During summer it got worse and more rare to crank properly and finally impossible. The boat...

    E35ECSM stator

    Noticed that charge voltage on the old outboard is very low. Before troubleshooting the charging circuit it is time to ask the question is there any option for a higher output charge circuit available? The standard spec should be 10A, right? (EDIT: No, 5A)

    1980 E35ECSM Gear case nut thread?

    I lost the gear case nut on my 1980 35hp, the one threaded on the stud in the gear case in front. I'm going to just pick one from a store instead of ordering it as a part and waiting. Any idea what thread the stud has, 5/16 UNF?

    Converting simplex from 400 to 479 and ordering new cables

    I took my simplex control apart today, and it indeed is and earlier model than the outboard 1980 E35ECSM and uses typ400 cables. Well, fortunately Teleflex still supplies typ 400 cables in the 6' and 7' length but is it possible to convert the dual lever control box from 400 cables to 479? Part...

    Material for lower unit mounting bolts?

    I just had a thread job done for lower unit mounting bolts, and the decision was made to use M8 size instead as my lower unit is from a later model with larger bolts. Now I'll just have to pick up suitable bolts to use from a local shop and what material should I use? SS 316?

    E35ECSM control cables?

    I am going to replace worn, broken, and too long control cables on my E35ECSM. The outboard has been retrofitted into the boat and it has a two-lever remote control box which has "Simplex" written on it. Now, I'm going to need a new lock pin for my shift cable as it had *bare wire cable* like...

    E35ECSM stalls when throttle opened

    Finally had one day of trouble-free and full power service from the outboard. :) Then when returning to port from a day of fishing the engine lost power suddenly under way and would run with throttle about half open after that. Drained carburetor and did a crude check of throttle sychronization...

    Sunken E35ECSM

    Damn, did not have time to check boat during 2 weeks and it had "sunk" enough so that there was water in the lower cylinder, over the wiring harness connector, key switch, solenoid, and starter connections. Well, turned the engine by hand, applied CRC all over and inside. Cleaned the...

    Fuel line connector?

    So, bought a new (supposedly) OMC fuel line connector. Unplugged, it squirts a stream of fuel from behind the valve ball pretty easily when priming, and leaks like hell when plugged. So, definitely needs a new o-ring at least, hope I am able to find somewhere tomorrow. The connector plugs in...

    1980 E35ECSM carburetor operation?

    I am in process of overhauling carburetor and the whole fuel system of my OB and have a few questions about its operation. It is definitely Type IV as listed in SELOC manual and I am now waiting for a new float chamber and high speed orifice as it would not come loose without breaking. I can...

    Aftermarket fuel connectors and portable tanks?

    I have had enough of my aftermarket fuel tank that has only a permanent hose connector and trying to clamp the fuel hose into it securely as the primer in the hose is dead and the connector is really hard to connect securely into the engine. I am going to need a new tank that has a threaded...

    1980 e35ecsm fuel connector

    How the fuel line connector is fixed into engine body? EPC dos not not show any screw or such, should it just pull off?

    Lower unit screw 0324429[0909533] size

    I will eventually have to install recoild, v-coil or similar thread repair inserts to fix the threads in the bolt holes for lower unit bolts. EPC tells only that it is 1" long, but is it 1/4"x20 (UNC) 1" ?

    1980 E35ECSM indicator thread and thermostat installation

    I'll ask this question on a new thread, hoping that somebody could confirm this quickly. The situation is that I got my outboard running again, it has a new water pump, that has been confirmed to operate before, and a new thermostat. When I got to run at high idle and rough for short periods...

    Fixes required after a seized up power head (or drive shaft?)

    I have 1980 E35ECSM that has locked up over winter storage. I Thought at first that the battery is dead as the engine did not spin and hurried to buy a new one. Only after that I did realize that the flywheel will not move a fraction of degree. I took the lower unit out, and it spins. The...

    1984 35hp kill-switch wiring and starter amperage?

    Hi, I am rewiring circuits for a boat with 1984 Evinrude 35hp and would like to add a kill-switch for the key-switch electric ignition and a main fuse for starter power. Judging by the wiring schemantics in Seloc repair manual the key switch seems to connect M and M terminals in OFF position...

    1980 15" 35hp evinruder lower unit interchangeability?

    Hello, I have a E35ECSM with malfunctioning lower unit and I was given a suggestion that the lower unit from a 1994 15" 20hp model would be interchangeable into it. Is anybody able to confirm that? The units look the same, but part number for e.g. water pump, water line, drive shaft, and screws...
