    bypass vapor pump assembly

    Can you bypass the vapor pump assembly on a 98 evinrude 115? I converted the VRO system to straight mix with a fuel pump, well my son in law broke off one of the nipples from it. Crazy this small thing is $163

    Starter not engaging after running

    I have a 98 Evinrude 115, the motor starts and runs at first, but then when I turn it off and try to start it again, it seems like the starter is not engaging. It has to sit like 60 mins for it to even try and start again. Brand new starter & I checked all connections and they seem to be fine. I...

    98 Evinrude 115 carb adjustment?

    Hey All. I took the project triton out yesterday and it would not start or stay running. I took the cover off and held the throttle open just a little bit while the Mrs. tried starting the boat. It did start and ran really well for about 15 mins then felt like it lost power, when I put it back...

    Bypass VRO and use Fuel Pump

    I have a 98 Evinrude 115 and it seems the Vapor Pump is not allowing gas into the carbs so I am wondering is there a way to bypass the VRO and use a fuel pump and just use mixed gas or would it be better to get a new vapor pump and hope that fixes the issue? All threads I have seen have mixed...

    Starter not engaging

    I could really use some help on this one. It has me stumped. Just replaced the starter and solenoid because the starter would just make a spinning sound but not engaging. It will try to crank from time to time, but mostly it just makes the spinning sound.

    I bought a 16.5ft triton for $300 and it has some pretty good chips out of the gelcoat and paint. Would you recommend to get it fixed or fill the areas and put a vinyl over it?

    Is my mercury oil injected?

    Hey All, I bought a 88 bullet for $500 and it runs decent (not a bad looking boat for $500). It takes a minute to start then smokes a little. Sometimes it dies when I try to accelerate so I need to let it sit in idle for a few minutes. When I bought it they told me it sat for a year and may...

    Cant figure out what this is.

    I cannot figure out what this is. But the thing in the 2nd and 3rd pic is leaking fuel bad. I had it out this past week and when I gave it throttle it didnt go anywhere. It felt like it was starving for gas. It would idle fine but when I put it in gear it wouldnt go for nothing. (for some...

    88 Johnson not starting. Starter barely turns flywheel

    The video will explain all. The battery is fully charged. It will turn it over maybe 1/7 times, the rest, it just does like in the video. Also the starter gets very hot after about 5 times trying it. Any ideas?

    Is my steering arm supposed to look like this?

    It looks bent to me but I dont see how it could have gotten that way. The motor can turn to the right, but when I try and go left it hits and stops in the middle. Its from a 1988 evinrude 110hp

    Space between motor and boat where it mounts..

    I have about a 1" space between the motor and the back of the boat. (seen in image) What can I do to fix this? Would a steel plate on both sides of the hull work? Is there a special name for that and can I order one? I am not sure if the hull is rotting out.

    1981 80hp Mercury throttle problem

    When I go to throttle I am having to repeatedly push in the key chock to keep the boat going. It isnt going fast, slow enough it doesnt wake. I just cleaned the carbs but it still wants to stall out when I throttle it. Could this be from a bad coil? Also could a bad coil cause the 3 & 4 plugs...

    Is my switchbox bad?

    The boat would die when I would try to put it in gear and throttle it. Then it wouldnt fire at all. I was reading the manual and it said to disconnect the "black/yellow" wire from the switchbox. I did that and the boat fired right up (although it wouldnt shut off by key, I had to choke it...

    Earmuffs fell off. Is motor shot?

    I was starting up the motor today after doing some work on it. I had the muffs on and it started right up. After about 1 minute I started hearing a metal to metal sound, I noticed the muffs had slipped and wasnt fully covering the lower unit holes. Well I quickly shut the motor off, adjusted...
