Am working on replacing my 1956 evinrude pull cord and am pretty sure the one that finally gave out was original. It has a steel wire core and some old school clamped metal hook piece on the end... Doubt they make those any more, so am looking for insight on a replacement. Can I just tie a...

Long time no talk all... I snapped the pull rope on my outboard. 1956 Evinrude 7.5hp. I youtubed and could not find this exact make and model, but did find similar vides where they show the rope coil... That you have to counter clockwise turn it 14 times, and re-coil the rope while keeping...

Hey all, been a long time. So got the boat out for the first time yesterday with my boy. Had her start after a few pulls after a year in the garage. Long story short, was ready to hit a new spot and noticed some fraying in the pull cord right below the handle, and that it was getting caught...

So I took my rig out yesterday, and of course with the cold weather she took a few pulls to get started.. no biggie. She run me and my buddy up river with no problems. We fished for a while... 2nd run back up river I noticed she was starting to feel sluggish... thought I was caught on weed...

So this summer and into early Fall my 1955 Evinrude 7.5 was running like a champ... got a good oil ratio, used some good fuel stabil and had a good time. This weekend its going to be in the 50s and plan on hitting the water for a little carp shoot. the motor has been upright, still on my boat...

So I filed a VA disability claim back in February of this year. I just had my exam last Friday. Anyone else here gone through this process before? According to my X-rays and the doctors notes, I have Arthritis of the spine, spinal sub-laxations?, degenerative disc disease, and spinal...

So last year, I zeroed in at 100yds, and can put rounds pretty tight at 200yds. But rely on the BDC reticle to account for distance. The Buck and Bull I took last year were both approx. 150yds. Both shooting uphill, which was challenging for me. Am wondering if I need to zero in at 200 yds...

Sorry if this was a "boating" only selling forum... it said anything "legal". So if I can't sell my boat gimp, I have this pen I got a while back. I am not a pen collector, but if anyone is, its pretty cool. Kind of a maroon/purple/pinkish marble with gold metal work. *Not real gold. Wooden...

Took the family on a little day trip... we all have our "you have to see this place" type areas... This is just an hour outside of the city... Doesn't take much to enjoy what Idaho has to offer.

Let's say you won a $100 gift card to Cabela's from work.... What would you buy?

Took my boat out for only the 3rd time yesterday... Learned the trick of loosening the tank cap to keep fuel from feeding the carb bowl and overflowing... Just need to remember to tighten it up when motoring again!!!... Took it out to the snake river in Idaho. When up stream about a mile or...

I have a couple of seats that came with my boat when first acquired. They have some sort of hand made slide down mounting bracket that, if I were to put them on today I know would just gouge the **** out of my freshly painted benches. Not gonna happen. I dont mind sitting on the bench when...

I have had my AMS bottle for about 3 seasons now and after about the first 6 months where I could not keep the **** thing from binding up, it has been smooth... I have a buddy who has gone through 3 of the reel style retrievers since that time... breaks, busted pieces falling off, the riser...

1955 Evinrude 7.5. Seen its share of days. However, the hood rattle is killing me... At low speed and idle, it is just like someone jackhammering it... At full throttle, it seems to just disappear and hum like it should... Was thinking two things... 1. try to tighten the clamps of the...

My aunt sent me a booklet the other day of my Great Grandfathers. https://www.lonesentry.com/65thbook/index.html I also have a WWII bayonet portapee (google it) of my Grandfathers. My aunt was in the US Army, and I served in the US Navy. She is going to send me a little something to add to...

OR...for some of you old timers... BESIDES BOATING ... what do you do with your time? I see wide range of knowledge here and thought it might be interesting to see what you all do with your time. Me, I work the normal 8-5 doing web development, graphic design, print and web. Been in this...

I did a little research on this, and I apologize if my post is a dupe, but it seems to have gone missing... I beached my boat the other day (intentionally) and raised my motor as I got closer to shore. The kids played. Great time. I noticed a little bit of that red fuel color dripping from the...

Been seeing some weird stuff the past 2 days or so... When trying to login, I get an error page showing some SQL statement errors and site user table keys are "invalid" (yes, I am a programmer of sorts) Anyone else experiencing this? Also, I had a post about my motor dumping fuel when I...

This is probably going to show my age and experience, but oh well... Was curious, if I happen to come across another Evinrude 7.5, exact same make and model, could I run dual motors? Is that even possible? {edit} Found this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6VJcts86Mw

So, as some of you know, I restored my old Evinrude 50's ear pressure fuel tank. Paint, replaced parts, etc..etc... Put a nice decal on. Noticed a small air bubble in the center of the decal about the size of a dime. Popped it with a needle, gently mind you, and let the air out. Pressed the...
