I am attempting to fix my starter for this engine as it does not rewind the pull cord. After taking the starter out and inspecting it I notice that the (part number 0314586) - Spring Retainer “upper” is broken. It looks like the bottom 1/2 inch split off. Is this what is causing my starter not...

So I am trying to get my wiring 100% operational. My Trim (only down) does not work, doesn't get power occasionally. Shaking the wires/fidgeting with them seem to get it to work again. However this will also sometimes cause my accessories to not work or my ignition. I'm not sure where I should...

My 1994 70hp Evinrude overheated and is seized. I have Stumbled Across a 1996 60hp Evinrude and was wondering if these are the same poweerheads?

Long story short my Motor Siezed up and now is relatively free. However the starter can hardly spin the flywheel enough to start it. I want to do a compression test on it but I don't know where to begin. What should the compression be on each cylinder?

This motor came along with the boat that I recently purchase and I was hoping to get it running. The PO said it had a "solenoid problem" but he also said that is was an 18hp which in fact it is a 25hp. I know for sure that it is missing the spark plug wires (you can see this in the pictures...

I am looking for a bow mount hand controlled trolling motor to put on the bow of my center console and came across these. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this line of trolling motor? I can't seem to find reviews on them. Specifically looking at a 55lb thrust 12 volt. But...

Today I picked up a 9.5 Johnson from craigslist "needs some TLC". The PO said that it ran last year, and that it needs the carbs cleaned, the water pump & seals needed replacing. Before I attempt to start this motor is there anything else I should do, maybe replace the spark plugs?

6hp 1968 - 6802R Evinrude engine - started running on 1 cylinder mid trip. Runs perfect on 1 cylinder. I figured the coil went bad, and the coils actually look very good. Next guess is the points are dirty, however when we pulled the flywheel and looked at the points I noticed 1 set of points...

Ive had this engine for over a year now and it has always ran fine. On my latest trip the outboard ran fine for me but when I started it to head home I could tell it didnt have much power. I shut it off and trolling motored all the way home. I started it up today and pulled the spark plug to...

I purchased a new to me 4hp evinrude and it is not currently running. PO said it ran a few months ago fine and when he pulled it out to sell it he couldnt get it to start. The engine has a new fuel pump, spark plugs, and spark plug wires (these parts were on it when it ran a few months ago). It...

When I made a deck on my old boat I put a spray bedliner on it but this time I will be using carpet, and it will be my first time doing so. I was wondering what are some good things to seal the wood with and then what are some good ways to install the carpet? Ie: specific glue/staples or other?

I am wanting to upgrade to a 9-10hp up from a 6hp and saw this on craigslist. Owner claims it has good compression and spark and that it will start and run off starter fluid for a little while but wont keep running. I figure its just a bad fuel line or the carb needs to be cleaned out. Asking...

I have seen many people recently painting there old evinrudes and it has made me want to do the same. I have seen mixed opinions on whether or not to sand and prime an old outboard or not. Some of the post I have read say that it is better to NOT sand/prime because the new paint will stick...

Bought a 12' monark - upgraded from a 10'er. The PO used a PT transom and now I'm unsure if this boat is salvageable. What can I do about this??

I decided to upgrade from my 10' Ouachita and found this 12' MonArk for 80$. However it doesnt have a title, and it does have a HIN, and it has a small crack and a hole that needs to be repaired. The old man I bought it from said he had owned it and was his pond boat for well over 30 years...

Today i bought a new to me 12ft monark. It has 2 holes and a crack that will need to be fixed and I'm not sure how I should tackle it. I have seen many different ways by looking through the forum and I was hoping for some input. that glowing thing is the hole. and there is another just like...

I am very interested in upgrading from my late 60s 1030 Ouachita to a 2006ish 1232 Tracker. I was wondering if yal thought it would be a significant upgrade? Right now I really can't fish 2 people in my boat.. But I know I can in a 12' because I have done so in my buddy's fully modded 1232. But...

checked the impeller and it is intact, looks great, not sure what else to check to get my motor to pump water again.

Today I emptied my gear case of the old oil and put in new fresh gear case oil. Afterwards I decided I should check my impeller to make sure it's still intact, and it was. As I checked it I noticed the drive shaft looked very dirty and so I wiped it clean (it looked like it had old grease or oil...
