    Motorguide Brute 750 12/24v Trolling Motor Wiring

    Hi, all. Sorry if this doesn't belong, but didn't really know where else to ask. I just picked up a good, used Motorguide Brute 750 that has a 3 wire plug that was replaced with an aftermarket plug on the motor and boat side, wire colors are Black, Red & Orange. I know the motor works, the PO...

    Trim/Tilt #333010 Compatibility

    Bummer :/ Follow up question, then. Since the seller has the parts, is it possible to swap the tilt/steering bracket that mounts to the transom onto the older motor so the T&T would work? The motor is completely disassembled and he's parting it out, so all that is available as well. Forgive me...

    Trim/Tilt #333010 Compatibility

    Hi, all. I've got a 1976 Evinrude 70673D with no power T&T. Picking up a good used powerhead this weekend for spare parts, and to have another good powerhead if needed later on, and the person selling it also has a T&T unit he's willing to sell me as well. I'd like to know if it will attach to...

    1993? Johnson 70 HP 3 Cylinder 2 Stroke - Stalling Issues

    This may not be related to the issue, but when you say the engine won't turn over in neutral, maybe an issue with the neutral safety potentially causing the stalling issue? Maybe grounding out spark when it shouldn't....But I agree with Racerone, it sounds like your idle speed it too low in...

    1976 Evinrude 70673D Tell Tale Install Placement?

    I haven't seen the tell tale down there before, only on top of the block or head. Is that a better spot for it?

    1976 Evinrude 70673D Tell Tale Install Placement?

    Bump. Anyone have pics on where to put a tell tale fitting?

    1976 Evinrude 70673D Tell Tale Install Placement?

    Yep, warning horn works when grounded. And I know, I've read a few times on the forums that if that works, a tell tale isn't particularly needed, but I want to install it for peace of mind. Being able to look back and see the water stream right after startup sounds like a good thing to me with...

    1976 Evinrude 70673D Tell Tale Install Placement?

    Hi, all. Back to working on our older boat with an Evinrude 70673D after winter storage. Doing some work that I'd planned to before and one of those is adding a tell tale. I know there's guides somewhere on the internet on where to drill and tap for the fitting, but I'm having a hard time...

    1999 Force 50HP Questions

    I live in Owatonna, MN. Top speed isn't a concern for us, we're not pulling skiers or tubes any time soon. It's a pontoon boat that'll be used mainly for fishing and leisure crusing. The Force motor that's on it wasn't the factory motor, it used to have a Johnson or Evinrude at some point. I'll...

    1999 Force 50HP Questions

    Ours is pretty chewed up on the edges and has a couple decent size chunks gone. Our marine shop in town quoted $90-$120 to repair it, or we could get a Solas for about the same price. I was considering a 4 blade because I'd read they're better for low speed handling and heavier boats. Maybe I...

    1999 Force 50HP Questions

    Update time! Installed a 90 degree fitting for a tell tale, going to revise it later, but works for now. Took the boat to the lake since it's all melted now, got the motor in the water and running. Plenty of water coming out the tell tale, good solid stream especially at WOT. Motor sounded good...

    1999 Force 50HP Questions

    Got it working good today, the cleaner seemed to do the trick. Connectors looked good and didn't seem to be open to far, so I didn't mess with that. Just cleaned really well and threw in some dielectric grease as well. Did relays and bullet connectors. List of things to do is definitely getting...

    1999 Force 50HP Questions

    Been playing around with the trim and tilt more today, trying to determine what the issues are. I'm thinking there may be a problem with the plug that goes into one or both of the relays or the wires going to the trim motor. If I unplug/replug the relays, it'll run for a while and then stop...

    1999 Force 50HP Questions

    So, small update today. T&T works, but sporadically, so I'm thinking there's a loose or corroded connection somewhere. If I unplug/replug the relays or seemingly move wiring around, it works in both directions, then will only get up or down until I do it again. Also motor DOES run, but still...

    Got it, thanks for all the help. I'll get the compression numbers soon when the weather warms up.

    1999 Force 50HP Questions

    Ahh, understood! I just looked at the parts diagrams and see the ramped gear teeth on the clutch dog. Thanks for the info, I was NOT looking forward to needing to tear down the lower :) I'm guessing it was done that way as a safety mechanism to prevent damage or something?

    Huh, okay....I wouldn't have thought of clicking being normal when it should be in gear? That just seems abnormal to me

    So, what else could it be? Shift cable adjustment maybe?
