    Check Engine RPM 1999 115hp

    My brother's boat is a 1999 StarCraft 196 FishMaster with a 115 Merc. The engine Rpms are at 5900 - 6000 rpm according the tachometer on the dash. The motor supposedly has the prop that was intended for the boat, so we're not sure if the on board tach is reading accurately - so where do I...

    '88 28hp SPL Lower Unit

    Anyone know where I can find a replacement Lower Unit for my long shaft 1988 28HP SPL? Housing only would be just fine. Housing from a 1987 28HP SPL is compatible. Either Evinrude or Johnson versions are compatible. Unfortunatley, no other years or HPs will work.

    E-rude '88 28 SPL Grommet

    I have a 1988 e-rude 28 hp SPL and wondered if there is supposed to be a grommet or boot of some sort to protect the battery cables and engine harness where they exit the cowl. I tried to get one from the dealer, but their computer did not show one. It is hard to believe one is not required...

    '98 Trophy - Steering wander

    Can anyone tell me if this is normal. My brother's 21'6" Trophy wanders when we are trolling. You just cannot get it to go in a straight line. That is to say you must constantly steering left and right to keep it on somewhat of a straight course. It is so bad that you have to...

    Can anyone tell me what the three wire d-shaped connector is for under the console and connected to the ignition swith and engine harness? The terminals are round, and I believe the wire colors are Black, Purple, and Brown. I have no idea what it is for, a tachometer maybe? Thanks in advance...

    1988 'rude 28 SPL Side Console Controls

    My Throttle lever increases the throttle weird. It is like the first 75 degrees of control lever travel barely opens the carb throttle butterfly, but steadily increases the timing plate. Then the last 20-30 degrees of control lever travel opens the carb up to wide open for full throttle, but...

    Help!<br />I have a 20hp Mariner long shaft that does not appear to have a thermostat. ??? <br />I cannot find a place for it anywhere. <br /><br />The motor needed a water pump so while I was at the dealer to buy the pump, they looked it up and said it does take a thermostat, so I bought it...

    Type II CD Ignition 1979 15 hp 'rude

    Can anyone tell me what to look for? My engine has a definite ignition miss. Sounds and feels like the miss is every-other-revolution, but I have no way prove it. It is most evident at an idle, but can be heard, seen, and felt at all engine rpm. <br /><br />The engine is fresh, new...

    15 hp Rude 1979 Water pump kit

    Help! I went to my distant dealer for a water pump kit and the kit contained a small seal for the top of the pump to the drive-shaft. The question is, since the removed pump did not have one installed, is the seal neeeded?

    1968 9.5hp Johnson water outlet

    Is the water outlet at the rear of the pan supposed to have a restricter of some sort? I can put my lttle finger up into the hole of the rubber accordian hose (that connects to the head) at the side and rear of the motor, just below the engine cover. <br />I haven't seen another 9.5, but all...

    Set timing? 1979 15hp 'rude

    How do I check and set the timing on this guy?<br /><br />With the engine not running, the cover off, and in gear, if I twist the throttle through the entire range from idle through wide open throttle several times, the flywheel turns with the ignition plate just a little bit. Can this be...

    1979 Evinrude 15hp poor idle

    I just picked up an old 1979 15hp that was used as a kicker for a long time. This motor runs great wide open, but I need to adjust the idle speed so high the nylon adjuster nearly falls out of the knob. <br /><br />This motor does idle, but misses a lot. I put new spark plugs in it - gapped at...
