I thought about the barb fitting but I'd really like to be able to disconnect the line from the tank. Makes it easier to fill up and also allows the use of a spare tank when I need one. So anyone else have a recommendation on brand or style?

I have a 1980 Sea King 15 Hp motor (made by Chrysler) that runs good, but I'm having a hard time with the fuel line connectors. I replaced the one on the motor with a barb fitting and attached the fuel line from the tank to it with a hose clamp. It works great now, but the gas line is...

I use two hand control trolling motors, one at the bow and one at the stern. When fishing with a partner the boat is way more manuverable. I jug fish for big cats and sometimes they change directions faster than a single motor will steer. I steer from the stern and my buddy steers from the...

I just replaced a 9.5 HP Evinrude with a 15 HP Chrysler on my 13 foot semi-V and my speed actually dropped slightly. The 15 has a whaletail that I plan to remove before I try again. I'm only getting 7.5 mph with 2 people on board with either motor. Both motors run great and have good...

The cable that keeps it from tilting when in reverse may need adjusting.

Finally got around to blowing air through it. Got very little pressure. I took the themostat out and blew out the holes in both directions. I didn't see anything come out, but I've got air flow now. Put it all back together and guess what? It's pumping water out of the pee hole!!!!! I...

Well, I got the lower unit off and checked the impeller. It was worn but not as bad as I thought it would be. It should still pump water if that was the only problem. Now I have more questions than when I started though. There wasn't any kind of gasket between the pump housing and the lower...

Nope, nothing blocking it. Guess I'll tear into it tomorrow.

It is a Sportwin Model #9522C. I think maybe the accordian tube in the left rear corner is for the water discharge. Someone told me that was for exhaust, but I think they might have been confused. I've never seen a stream or even spray come out of this hole though. Does that mean my water...

My kit came with a couple of gaskets that I didn't need. It also had a tiny spring to keep the float pushed down, which the original didn't have. The motor wouldn't run with that spring in there. It was an aftermarket kit apparently made for more than one application. Just put it back...

There is a large (about 1 inch diameter) accordian style hose going from the engine to the case. I was told it was for exhaust, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the response. The image is similar to my motor, but not quite the same. I checked the location that was on the diagram and there is no opening on my motor. How do I tell if it is pumping water?

Hey Guys, I have a 1965 Evinrude 9.5 HP. I can't find the pee hole. When I run it in a barrel there is a lot of turbulence even when it is in neutral. Is the pee hole under the water level??? It runs great and I don't want to ruin it by running it too hot. Any help is appreciated.
