    2006 BF150 Digital Speedometer

    Greetings, I have dual BF150's. The fuel management data works for the SB motor, but not for the port motor. The speedometer doesn't work but that makes sense because the manual says both engines must be connected for it to work. I would like to troubleshoot/trace the problem but can not find...

    1978 'rude 175 Temperature

    Greetings, I want to install a temperature gauge on my outboard. There isn't any way I can tap into the water jacket so I'll have to settle for head temperature. What do I need to purchase and how do I hook it up? Should I do separate senders/gauges for each cylinder? Thanks, Bob

    Wiring!

    1978 175hp anode?

    Greetings all, I hope this doesn't seem like too dumb a question. I recently picked up a 1978 175hp 'rude in fantastic mechanical shape (even 120 compression, no leaks, runs smooth). I had been used exclusively in fresh water and was well maintained. I am going to be trailering it and using it...

    Lifting Eye

    I need to lift my 1978 175 HP 'rude. Try as I might, I can not find any lifting eye on the motor. I want to screw a lifting eye onto the flywheel bolt and pull stright up. The only lifting eyes I can find a flywheel puller that screws into the three holes on the flywheel. Instead of the puller...

    Greetings all, I have been reading posts for a while and you all have been very helpful. I just got a 1978 175hp 'rude.
