Thinking on a newer 4stroke motor. I have a 9.9 2stroke and that is no problem to pull over.. Is the newer 4 strokes any harder? The one I am looking at is a 15 hp merc and there is no electric start on it.

I have done carpet for 45 years-it all is directional

Carpet is directional so it all has to run the same direction or it will show a shade variation. You can run you hand across and it will lay down one way and stand up the other.

I have a 1982 that runs great with 90 on each cylinder by my tester.

Boat is only rated for a 20 so I don't want to go over the rating. From what I am seeing I really cant go wrong with any of them. Main reason I was thinking Suzuki was for the lighter weight. The price between the Merc, Suzuki, and the Tahatsu is all within a couple hundred bucks so mainly...

Thinking on buying a new motor for my old boat-a 14 ft Lund V. I like the idea of the lighter Suzuki. The Tahatsu and Mercury are better known motors in my area and I would have to drive a bit if I needed service work on the Suzuki. Thinking of the 15 or 20 HP. Are the Suzuki motors holding up...

Just a update. I removed the cap and took it to my vise and was able to straighten it out. Did manage a 1 inch crack but all in all it came out good. The old rivet holes were a bit out of shape so I went to a 1/4 inch pop rivet to install it. 34 of them. Looks almost as good as new.

I had one that looked like this one if I remember right and it was a 1992 model.

After taking a look at the bend in this cap I think I will try and straighten it. I have nothing to lose if it doesn't work and my experience with trying to bend aluminum back isn't very good as it seems to crack. My question is do you think heating it up would help my chances of bending it...

Not able to post a picture but it is the piece that would cap the top of the transom. Without going out to measure I would guess it to be about 1 3/4 inches wide with a drop on each side of about 1/2 inch and goes all the way across the back and under the corner braces. I will take a look...

I am about to start work on a 1969 14 foot Lund V. Not sure what had happened but something has hit the center of the transom where the motor would mount. It has a pretty good size dent in it and bent up and tore the transom cap. Does anyone know where I could find the correct size channel to...

try turning the motor over a little-might just need to move the crankshaft a bit to get the splines to line up

I cant find anything on the exact and no idea what grade bolts they are. When I took them off they didn't seem all that tight so I will probably just try and snug them up all about the same. I am thinking maybe 6 to 10 # of torque. Hoping all goes well because it seems the cover for the water...

I have the exact same boat-a1976 model mine is. The rating plate on it says 9.9 max if that helps you

New question on my other 15 Evinrude. this one is a 1982. I got it running and all was good but I noticed a trickle of water coming out of the waterjacket cover (the one with the thermostat in it). Ordered a new gasket but cant find anything online about weather or not to use a gasket sealer on...

Just a quick update. Found another but it was a long shaft but it was in like new condition so I went ahead and ordered the parts new. Figure I have lots of spare parts now so the 200 for the correct driveshaft was worth it.

Not to keen on having it cut and welded but may as a last resort. Ill keep a eye on ebay and check out a few of the salvage places that I can find. Vans sounds like a start. Thanks

I am trying to convert a 1978 15 hp Evinrude long shaft to a short shaft. Anyone know where I could locate a short driveshaft and shifting rod. I looked on Ebay but no luck. I see new is available but hate to go that route if I don't have to. Anyone out there want to trade the longshaft parts...

I have a 1977 14 ft Alumacraft V hull fishing boat with a 9.9 Honda on it. Took it out for the first time I have had it in the water yesterday. The best I could get out of it was 10 mph with the wind at my back. I had a 14 ft lund that was basically the same boat with a 9.9 Evinrude on it that...
