    Hi there, I have all the bolts out holding the lower unit on. I think the shift rod is keeping it from coming down all the way and off. How do I disconnect the shift rod? Thanks in advance.

    '77 Evinrude 55hp shift linkage woes

    well, we found out why the lower end was just clicking and wouldn't go completely into reverse. The shift cable mounts to an arm that is just a mount and pivot. There is a linkage that goes between this arm to the forward part of the engine and connects to the actual shift arm. This linkage...

    When I place the boat in reverse it just clicks, the prop will turn but not enough to move the boat. When out of the water I can sometimes get it to go into reverse (engine not running) and turn the engine over by hand by turning the prop. Maybe one out of ten tries. The cable appears to be...

    When I took the lower unit out today I noticed that there wasn't an O-ring at the top end of the drive shaft where it engages the lower part of the engine. Where can I get this O-ring from? Is it part of the lower unit gasket set? Any help is appreciated. Regards, Steve G.

    1960 Super Sea Horse 40 waterpump woes

    Well I finally got the engine running and besides not wanting to idle it runs fairly well. Only run for a couple minutes at a time on a test stand in a barrel of water (40 gal drum) I've noticed that there is no water circulation (hence the couple minuutes running at a time) I'm assuming water...

    Evinrude Sportwin Identification

    I just bought an Evinrude Sportwin. The engine has no decals etc showing the HP of the engine. We think it might be a 1963 10 hp but are unsure. Maybe one of the experts on this board can help us out. There is a serial number plate on the left side of the engine below the throttle arm. The...
