    2013 Etec Steering Question

    I ended up getting the steering freed up and completely lubricated in the simplest of ways. I unhooked the steering arm (?) from the end of the teleflex cable that goes thru tilt tube. Got a plastic hose that fit over part where cable ram (?) goes in and out when you turn steering wheel. Hose...

    True that. Would not necessarily change steering cable. New motor would just be throttle and shifters

    Cut out Switch Test.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but to see if my switch is working, when I depress it manually , it should kill the engine, correct?

    Steering seized?

    Etec model R150DSLAAB with remote steering. I know nothing about how “remote steering” works. Does this steering system need power to work? Reason is I’m looking at a boat to buy that has not operated for two years. Steering seems locked/stuck. Stored under cover in an area that does not...

    2013 Etec Steering Question

    I thought the lag in production and installation was odd as well. Wife said it was bought at 2021 boat show and installed, Evinrude dealer ran serial number, registered to the fella we are talking to. Says warrantee until 2027. Included info plate from motor and screen shot from crappy video my...

    2013 Etec Steering Question

    Ran the serial number with a Evinrude mechanic, motor is clean and still under warranty until 2027. The fella passed away and family is selling it. Apparently properly winterized properly before it was stored. Beauty Double Eagle 185 and price is more than fair. Gonna go look at it again today

    Could I have pooched a part of my ignition system?

    Well, got it started. Rotor tip was crusty so cleaned that. Shined up the distributor cap contact points, fully charged battery. Took one plug out to check spark. While doing so it sputtered. Plug back in, turned it over, sputtered a bot and off she went! Ran rough a bit then idled smoothly...

    Could I have pooched a part of my ignition system?

    I read leaving key on for too long can cook points. Thought maybe many starts, like 30+ in an hour might do it. Anyway, will test them today

    Could I have pooched a part of my ignition system?

    1977 Mercruiser 140 with Pertronics Ignitor II points. So we jig for salmon and while trying to stay on top of bait ball, we started the engine probably 40 times in a row to try and stay in one place. On last start my brother said it did a "wugga shugga, whacka CHOW!" and stalled. Tried turning...

    Fuel Gauge making full, even with no power.

    UPDATE Turns out the gauge part was a loose ground behind the fuel gauge. Also, initially, the gauge needle was stuck all the way forward and I tapped it and it went back down. The wiper and bilge pump was me mucking around back there, in the dark, and disconnected wires by accident. Got back...

    Sorry, I meant a short to ground. I was poking around behind the consloe, moving wires around. I must created a short somewhere.
