I appreciate the advise guys! I will do just that, when it gets here I will take care of the COMPLETE rebuild and cleaning. Again, I appreciate the response to what seems like a dumb question!

I have acquired the new (used) carb for my evinrude that I have been looking for. I have ordered the rebuild kit and it's on the way. I have watched a video or two on line regarding the rebuild process, and noticed that one of the videos mentioned pulling out the plugs for proper clean-out. I...

If you didn't already know, your engine can be somewhat easily modified to a 35 hp. If you, like myself find yourself in need of the extra ponies, that is something to keep in mind. Boat looks great btw! Happy boating!

It depends on what HP and year , but I do know from my research if you are running a 1986-1994 20/25 HP all you are supposed to need is a new intake and carb for the corresponding year 30/35 carb. Some people have done it with a 25 hp intake and bore the hole and made it work that way, but the...

I stand corrected.....you guys are right 1980

I appreciate that offer johnny! I finally found out today what carb years would work for me. I have done a copious amount of research into this, and I have discovered that It works best on the late 80's into the early 90's 20/25/35 motors with through hub exhaust. I hate that you did not have...

I show that Model number to be a 1986.

The through hull fitting did not load last time lol.

through hull fitting for bilge pump, and wiring the new switch panel.

The durring:

This is pictures when I picked it up. It was a diamond in the ruff, and is far from this now, but the build is continious as we learn what works for us and make modifications accordingly.

I came into my newest boat restoration over this past winter. I have had a good time learning and teaching my son over the process of the build thus far. It is a 1990 Tracker Guide V14 with a stock 1989 Evinrude 20 HP long shaft. I have replaced all the plywood floor throughout the boat and...

That is a very crafty Idea, and I may just do that considering this will be my first time rebuilding one. I am going to order the kit today.
