Ok, Ive read a bunch and watched some videos... The waterpump seems to be an easy swap. Pull lower unit off and replace. Ive ordered the waterpump kit and spark plugs. Another thing I had issues with was at the end of last year when I was having issues getting the motor started, I noticed...

Bought my first boat last year. It has a 1988 15hp evinrude manual start. I changed the lower oil and it ran great all last year untill the last 2 times I took it out. I started it in my driveway with watermuffs then once in the water had a hard time getting it started. I kept it in my garage...

Ya its weird, i can switch to downscan images but on the box it said "optional downscan transducer purchase neccessary for downscan imaging"

Well... took the boat and the new finder on a much larger lake today, my home lake is 8ft on average and went to a 20-50ft lake. Wind was blowing and the water was like the ocean... lol, i was in 20ft and heading to deeper water when a 3 foot wave came barreling towards me, i barely got the...

Well... got it all epoxied and not leaking, then found out the evinrude quick connect itself leaks when the hose is not connected, too late to swap it out now as its encapsulated in jb waterweld epoxy. Oh well.... its just for out of town/large lake trips

Ok thanks... is that switch something easily found? Like say at walmart battery isle or do i need to order it online?

I have 2 new 27/105ah batteries, after the last time on the water and running bow and stern trolling motors, fish finder, phone charger .... i came back home and threw the battery on the charger and was down to 50% It makes me want to add a second battery to get more amp hours. Couldnt i just...

My boat came with a 6 gal tank and ive noticed the tank leaks from the quick connect fitting. The tank has a threaded hole that a plastic adapter threads in, then the quick connect is threaded to that. Ive tried replacing the worn seals with new o rings and it still leaks at the tank to plastic...
