    1977 Evinrude 70HP driveshaft oil retainer seals

    I have a Evinrude 1977 70HP motor that had water in the gear oil. I've decided to replace all the seals. My question is which way are the drive shaft oil retainer seals supposed to be pushed in. Each one has a round spring on the inside, should the spring be facing up or down? Thanks

    A problem with my 77 Evinrude 70HP

    Decided to replace the head gasket on my 77 70HP Evinrude. Wanted to see if anyone here had the torque specs for the different bolts: Thermostat cover bolts, head cover bolts, and the head bolts. Also, what pattern should I use when I tighten the bolts? I was just going to work my way up and...

    1982 15' Ebbtide Deck/Stringer Replacement

    I just recently picked up this boat for a great price. From what I could tell, the deck and transom were solid and looked like a really well cared for boat. I was out one day and noticed the floor flexing quite a bit in the back when I would go over a wave. I knew right away something was not...
