    Max fuel tank distance 62 Evinrude 10hp

    Looking for some info. How far away can you place a remote tank from the outboard? 62 Evinrude 10hp. I have a 15 ft Jon boat it's on...I'm a big guy so I'm trying to distribute weight forward towards the bow as much as I can. I can't find any info out there. I know with larger engines with...

    Oil in the bilge

    Took my old boat out for the first time since I owned it...5+ years. Kept taking on enough water to pump the bilge every 5 mins or so...only was taking on water when the boat was in motion and the stern was lower in water. It was last night. Couldn't find where water was coming in from. This...

    Mercruiser 120 continue running when switched off

    Was trying to get my ole boat ready for the water...it starts and runs fine. Had to replace the alternator today. Tried out the alternator and it generates power...but when switched off the engine kept running and the voltmeter was bouncing. Had to choke off the air to the engine to shut it...

    1962 Evinrude 10hp water leak?

    I've got oil mixing with water somewhere in my engine. I'm getting a goopy sludge in the entire exhaust tract. Here's what the plugs looks like Or am I paranoid? Lower unit has to be stripped and cleaned out because it's rusty and had no oil in it :/. But my concern is with what gasket...

    1960s Evinrude Sportwin Model?

    I need to figure out for sure what model engine I have for sure. The serial number is 5520-07440 on the transom mount. There is a disc on the engine head that says Evinrude over 10024 over 01190. Any help would be appreciated!

    Johnson TD 20 remote tank

    Hi all been a while since I was last on here. Got a 40s TD 20 I revived last winter and used the **** out of it this pass summer. Motor is simple and reliable but I'd love to be able to add a remote tank and use the built in tank as a reserve. I know she doesn't have a fuel pump. Does anyone...

    Revived Johnson TD 20!

    I'd say it's well and alive! Took me some stand in replacement parts but overall seems to run well now! Not bad for a free motor!

    Johnson TD 20 revival PT 2

    Well I managed to revive the old 5hp 49' Johnny. All I need that I'm aware of is the leather seals for the primer. Not a huge issue. The recoil spring broke so I'm starting it the ole fashioned way...wrap and pull. Plug boots, new plugs, and some condensers(slight mod to fit). She ran...

    1947(approx) Johnson TD20

    As usual I've acquired another antique that needs love. First impression is she looks to be OK. Good compression and fuel system is solid...nice the lines are copper and don't rot lol. My big issue is in ignition I believe. There is voltage registered on my multimeter via the plug wires when...

    1972 Mercruiser 120hp 4cyl riser

    I was rooting around the threads and the net and cannot find an answer to my satisfaction. At what point do these need replaced? Mine is pretty corroded on the inside around the top of the bend. Looks like the thin metal between the exhaust passage and the water jacket is rusted through. I'm...

    1972 Mercruiser 120hp 4cyl revival project

    Well I did it again...acquired a new boat (to me) for free(the good part). The bad part is it has been 5 years or so since it ran last. The boat itself has rotted decks but before I start the rebuild I'd like to revive the power plant to ensure I don't rebuild the deck for nothing! I'm very...

    1975 Johnson tell tale conversion

    So I've decided to retrofit my v4 115 from 75 to have the tell tale! The process is straight forward, and there is a thread in the FAQ about it. I know to place it on the starboard upper cylinder to prevent an air pocket. Is there anything else I need to do with it? Like looping the hoses...

    1975 18 ft Sea Sprite restore

    Hi guys just looking for some opinions! I've got a 1975 fiberglass sea sprite tha came to me as an empty shell! Got a new transom installed and glassed in place. Got some good timbers for new stringers and ideas for the actual deck. My question is do I need to put foam under the deck? If so...

    1975 115 hp Johnson bearing housing removal!

    Hi all again! Still brining the ole Johnny back to life! Has leaky seals on the prop shaft so I'm trying to pull out the bearing carrier assy! Problem is the darn thing refuses to budge, even with a wheel puller threaded into the two holes! Keeps bending the two rods nd slipping off! Should...

    1975 Johnson 115 Recomission

    Hi all! I just acquired a 1975 Johnson 115 that hasn't been run in an unknown number of years! I know I'm beating a dead horse in posting this thread(since there are plenty related to reviving outboards), however, I just wanted any input related to this particular outboard. The motor spent...
