Picking this up today. Barebone hull but with plenty of potential. It has some issues. It is going to need quite a bit of work... but for $150.00 I could not pass it up. I will give you warning now, this is NOT going to be a fast build. Right now I'm just hoping to have something...

And the results are in... I cleaned the carb by soaking it overnight in Goop carb cleaner and then rebuilt it the next day. I changed the champion j8c plugs to j6c. I took the boat back out and it ran great. Started on second pull (instead of 60th) and ran out great. I did loose about about...

Thank you cajuncook1, already getting some good responses there. I have already found the carb kit locally and will pick it up tomorrow. Was also advised to use either j4c or j6c plugs instead of the j8c that I was told would work (to hot for my motor) and will be changing my mix to 50:1...

That sounds about right to me too. I don't know my weights but I have a 14' semi-v with a 1964 Evinrude 9.5hp. With me (245lbs) the boat, outboard, trolling motor, battery and 6 gallons of gas... slight breeze and no current I was able to get about 15.5 mph on my gps.

First... the history... I bought this from my boss, who had bought it from someone on CL about a year prior but had never used it. I have it on a 14' semi-v aluminum boat that is 48" across at the transom. My first trip out two weeks ago resulted in the following. Very hard to start. Turns over...

I appreciate the tip on the max HP, but would still like to try to figure out the manufacture if possible. If anyone recognizes the manufacture, I would greatly appreciate it.

I just picked this up... boat, motor and trailer for $400.00 and I need help to identifying this boat. It's 14' long and 49" across at the transom. According to the registration, it is pre 60's. I have included pictures that I took of it yesterday and I am hoping that someone here can help me to...

You've not said if you will have a trolling motor. If you are going to be using a trolling motor, you could attach the transducer to the bottom of the trolling motor. Then when you remove the trolling motor to put the boat in your truck, you would remove the transducer along with it and it would...

With what you are describing, if you can not store it outside, I would go with either a kayak or canoe. A G3 1448 jon boat is going to weigh around 233lbs and is going to be very difficult to lift by yourself. A trailer, in my best guess, is going to weigh close to the same or more. Even if you...

By the chart I found at https://www.maxrules.com/Merc_model_files/7p5-9p9.html I would say you have a 1977 outboard

It may just be me, but I would put that battery in a battery box before mounting. Protects the battery and the boat.

One more try on this. Does anyone know what the wire coil inside of the motor housing is for? I want to change out the brushes and would like to change out the board and wires that go up to the controller but am worried if I don't get the coil right, it may not work anymore. Thanks

My suggestion to you on this would be the same as when fishing from a kayak. Take the boat out in warm water ('tis not the season for this right now), on a calm day, and turn it over. You need to know what it is going to take to turn the boat over if you don't feel stable in it. You need to know...

Does anyone know what carb kit I need for a 1956 Evinrude 10hp? Any help is much appreciated Thanks

I'm in Clayton, near Raleigh

So, searching Craigslist and trying to find an outboard for my 12' Smoker Craft. I found a 1956 Evinrude 10hp for $100.00. I go to look at it and the motor is not locked up. I can feel the resistance when I pull the rope (hoping for good compression, but no tools to check it). I can change the...

I don't know a lot about outboard motors, but I've worked on quite a few small engines. First thing I would do is make sure you have spark. Pull the spark plug wire and put it close, but not quite touching, the motor block (exposed metal area of the motor). Try to crank the motor and see if you...

I need to shop, where you shop

Anyone have any suggestions on this?
