Wondering if anyone here has the part numbers for the 5 needle bearings in the gearcase of a 78 evinrude 9.9. I'm looking for the torrington part numbers, not the evinrude numbers. I'm trying to do my research before pulling all the bearings. I want to get replacements at my local bearing house...

I think that's good advice. I'll see how it does out on the water, and go from there. Thanks for the time.

Yeah I guess that was a little confusing. I notice the misfire when running with the earmuffs on, allowing me to hear the intermittent cut out in the exhaust. I ran it again tonight and it wasn't as bad, although still, i dont think it runs as smooth overall as it should. Idle is fairly...

As the title says 78 9.9 it has a misfire at wot have only run the motor in a test tank or with earmuffs on so far. Starts good idles fairly smooth. The motor has sat for 20 year or so according to the seller. I've cleaned/rebuilt the carb, adjusted the carb/timing sync. New plugs (correct...

thanks for the replies, I found a knowledgeable guy at a local trailer shop (hard to find these days). The knowledgeable guy, not the local trailer shop! any way, to anwer my own question and to help anyone reading, the bushings should fit snugly. not so much that require a serious hammering to...

watch out for those TS quarts of paint, the one by me either doesnt sell much or something cause every quart of black on the shelf was solid as a rock!

Hey guys need a little more help on this trailer im working on. see post..... https://www.forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=43441 .....for a little history. anyway mid 80's adjustable ez loader. it has the open end slipper style springs. the bushings were wore out so I finally got the...

thought I would post a few pics of my progress so far.......... still have a little finish welding to do, but add lights and wiring and paint and I should be done.

yeah the bolsters for some reason never gave me a feeling of security, kinda just flopping around with their one little attachment point. with the way the trailer was, there was around 10 inches of boat hanging off unsupported. Also one reason I went away from bolster style was I wanted the...

interesting. I dont see how more points of contact(support) could be a bad thing. As I see it, I would be combining the features of a roller trailer and a bunk trailer. unfortunately, due to the suspension bracket set up I did not have too many options as to the possible location for the cross...

So I went ahead and carpeted the bunks and temporarily clamped them in each position. As I figured, the inner position is not very stable with side to side motion. I originally wanted to eliminate the two keel rollers the trailer had on it, but I think with the two bunks in the outer position...

definitely an option. Although I would have to add another cross member to support the shorter bunk.

I guess I missed a few details in the post, sorry I was tired. It is a V hull, the trailer has been completely taken apart, added 27 inches to the rear, squared, clamped and welded back together. So the bunks are being added essentially from scratch. My plan is to lay the 2X4 bunks on their side...

hey guys, got a question. 76 mirrocraft, ez loader adjustable trailer. the trailer did not fit the boat well enough in my opinion, so It has been lengthened about 2 feet to accommodate it better. I'm at the point of making the bunks and my question is on regard to positioning. If I place them to...

with a little more refining of my aluminum welding skills, my next one (if I have to do another) will be out of 1" aluminum square tubing sandwiched between 2 sheets of 1/4" sheet.
