    Evinrude 1970 25Hp Motor

    I have a 1971 25102S that runs great but as was stated keep up on the maintenance and run fresh gas. I run mine usually at least 1 time a week in the tank and it starts right up. If I leave it sit for more than a week with out running it its hard to start. Easy engines to work on.

    Wiring diagram suggestions

    Thats roughly how I have mine set up, During the day time you hardly use any thing other than a fish finder and a trolling motor and your motor will put out plenty to keep your batter/batteries topped off. LED dont use much juice.

    Make a 1980 35hp Evinrude motor alcohol ready

    If the line diameters are the same you should have to replace the quicky. I use the small line clips to keep everything snug on the fixtures but I do check them often for cracks and dry rot.

    My 2009 Alumacaft 1432

    Might try pulling and cleaning the plugs. Clean the fuel filter or replace it if it is really clogged up. Pull the carb, tera it down and clean it. Also check for junk in the gas can.

    In line fuses?

    Never a bad idea to run an inline fuse on any lighting system. I always run 20 amp fuses but some stay with 15's.
