    25 HP Rude wouldn't start......1988 model

    I guess I trouble shooted the problem, and fixed it, but now I was hoping the iboats' minds could help me to prevent this from happening again. My engine would not start at the dock. This motor has the hand primer, and it just didn't sound like gas was pumping in with the strokes. I pulled the...

    Engine slows when cover installed

    My Evinrude 9.5hp, 1967 model has developed a problem of running fine when the cover is removed, but slows when I install it. I thought maybe the foam in the cover was snuffing out the carb, so I removed some around the top mount carb. No change. Any ideas?

    Evinrude 9.5 hp, 1967 Model, Repair?

    My son has asked me to prep this motor that came with a lake house he recently purchased. I am wondering if it will be worth it. The motor appears to be uncared for. I drained the lower unit and water came out with the oil. I was planned on decarbonizing with Deep Creep/Sea Foam and go from...

    My son just volunteered me to clean up and repair as necessary a 9.5 hp Evinrude model 97722M, Serial E08823. Could someone tell me the year this engine was built? Another question, how does the tilt mechanism work on this motor. I can see the latch on the mount, and a cable going into the...

    Solas Props

    Can someone give me a quality rating on this Brand? I am needing a new prop for my 9.9 HP Evinrude, and iboarts is advertising a Solas 3-blade std replacement for less than $50.00. An Evinrude dealer wants almost $100.00. Is there that much difference in construction, or is the dealer just that...

    Circuit Breaker Corrosion,Trolling Motor Battery

    I have a 40A. Cir. Brkr. installed on top of my battery in series w/the Positive battery post to protect my trolling motor and wiring.

    25hp Evindrude Hesitation

    My 1988 Rude is hesitating on throttle up. I have installed new plugs, but doesn't seem to help. Do I need to decarbonize? I have read about Sea Foam. What about ordinary Carburetor Cleaner?I bought this engine new and has low hours.

    Evinrude 1988 25hp Manual Primer Problem

    Today my trusty Rude would not start. We started trolling from the dock, with the engine tilted, and did bother to start at this time. Four hours later, I lowered the engine, and tried to start manually. I pulled the primer several times, however, I do not believe I flooded the engine. It would...

    Lowe Transom Replacement

    I purchased new in 1978 a Lowe 14ft. Big John for small lake and river fishing. Over the years, my wife and I have customized it in order to make it comfortable for our fishing. We just love this boat. We have no reason to replace it for the way we fish. About ten years ago, I noticed that the...

    Evinrude/Johnson XD-25 TC-W3 Oil

    I was shopping in a NEW Walmart recently in SE Iowa, and was surprised to see this oil displayed on their shelves. They had it priced at $16.24/Gal. I can't remember the last time that I have found BRP products sold outside of their dealer networks. When I checked BRP's Website, I did not find...

    TCW-3 Outboard Oil, Best Value

    I haven't purchased any oil for my outboards lately, and was just wondering what is the best value today. I have two Evinrudes, a 25 HP, and a 9.9 HP used primarly for fishing at low speed. I like to stock up on oil when the price is right, so I don't buy often. I have always used the regular...

    Two Cycle Engine Oil

    Can anyone tell me if Marine TCW type two cycle oil can be safely used in Two Cycle Air Cooled Engines? One engine mfg. of air cooled engines told me it cannot, because water cooled engine oils do not have the additives that are required for air cooled engines. Is this the truth, or do these...

    Yamaha Water Pump Problems

    I have a friend with a Rinker I/O 24 ft. that I am trying to help. He doesn't have a computer. His boat has the Yamaha outdrive, with a GM V-6 engine. I think they call it the 4.3 litre. He has to rebuild the lower belt driven water pump almost every season. I guess this would be the primer pump...
