    Storm flipped and sank the boat what now?

    +1 My factory service manual states, “If engine has been dropped overboard and not recovered immediately, the engine must be serviced within three hours after recovery. Once the outboard is exposed to air, both fresh and salt water will start etching the highly polished bearing surfaces of the...

    Fuel inlet fittings.

    The truth is, those 70’s Ted Williams are just not worth much. I have a 5.5 my dad bought new, from Sears. I can find carb kits from a Tecumseh lawn mower dealer, BUT, the motor is air cooled, (loud), & really is not near as good as a twin cylinder 6hp water cooled Evinrude. If you really want...

    Shift rod

    Resize your photo to under 1Mb. Most cameras are way more that 1Mb, which consumes much bandwidth to xmit & equals mucho storage space.

    Proper heat range on Johnson 115

    The temps shown with an infrared heat gun can vary wildly, depending on where you aim the beam. Best get an OEM shop manual. The older ones speak of using a calibrated wax crayon, & where to swipe it. My ‘94 manual states where on the cylinder head to measure temps.

    Possibly issue with 3.0 Volvo Pena inboard help please

    Those blocks were the same for quite a few years. The plugs are easy to see where described. This engine does not have pee holes as an outboard would, most water/exhaust will exit from prop. It should be quite easy, with motor running, to see the water source. Water cannot come from directlly...

    Possibly issue with 3.0 Volvo Pena inboard help please

    I have the same system. As Bondo said. Facing the rear of your boat, look on the right hand side…is water pouring out the side of the motor & into the bilge. There are two plastic (blue) plugs- maybe one/both are missing. Look at the front of the motor, the hoses from the water pump- any leaks...

    "96 J25TELEDA CANT GET LOWER UNIT OFF

    Your 1st photo looks like you hit the edge of that plate with the mallet. What about using a block of wood…hold it against the metal, close in to the inside edge. Then you can use quite a bit more force, without breaking that thin edge off.

    6hp yamaha 4 stroke missfiring/shaking at higher rpm

    That video is way to much work, might as well spend $10 & buy one. I thought my photo would be self explanatory… Stick the end with the bolt into your sparkplug boot- the bolt is only there to hold the wire inside the boot, you could also just bend the copper wire into an appropriate sized loop...

    6hp yamaha 4 stroke missfiring/shaking at higher rpm

    Make a spark tester out of a few scraps, like this. You can use any method to hold the wires, hot glue gun, a short bit of wood or metal with a screw through it etc. Like their motorcycles, Japanese motors usually use NGK. They are fine.

    Need info on Ted Williams 7.5 outboard

    Look at post #3 in this thread. Once you open/download the manual, oil ratios are on page 3. Your motor, the 217 denotes a Sears Ted Williams badged motor, they used Ted Williams as an endorsement. I have a 1970 5.5 my dad bought new. Here is the list of TW (Eska) motors, these people also have...

    ESKA Owners and parts manual

    My scanner won’t work with the new computer..& I dont have a digitized copy…I know, should have had it backed up. I can take photos of each page & email them to you. Don’t get too excited, the owners manual really does not have much in it. Things like don’t put your foot in the prop etc! Scroll...

    Options to using a boat lift

    You can pump the entire Mississippi down your hull…if the water is of the staining type, it will stain. If you can buy, & fuel a Mastercraft, you can afford a lift. There is a fairly decent waterski club just down the shore from me, they have three courses. Mastertcraft, Ski Nautique, Malibu…not...

    Water leak

    Would you call a car dealer & give him the lack of information posted here, &;expect the service dept to help,you? These service techs shouldn’t have to pull teeth to get basic information. Post some photos showing the leak area, state what year model motor.
