    removing covers on lower unit?

    Racer, the only grease zerk is in the middle of the pivot/swivel tube. The grease takes the path of least resistance and naturally travels down with gravity and comes out the bottom only. No new grease comes out the top of the tube. Many people have reported putting in a new zerk about 1 inch...

    I have a 1987 Evinrude 88hp v4 crossflow. I am trying to get the 2 horizontal plastic looking covers that bolt together at the top of the drive shaft area. I removed the 4 horizontal screws on the transom side and they seem to separate a bit, but they will not come off. Is there some hidden...

    thermostat valve body question

    I have a 1987 evinrude 88hp v4 crossflow. I ordered a new valve body for the thermostats. It has just 1 small bleed hole. I have seen some with 2 small bleed holes (one for each side). I would assume the 2 bleed hole design would be better? Anyone have any information on this. Which is older...

    overheat ?

    I think you may be 100% correct. I think it will be a winter project. Pulling that lower is a pain due to the shift linkage. Thanks for your help Kevin!

    overheat ?

    I have a 1987 Evinrude v4 88hp engine. When I first start it at the lake, it overheats quickly at idle and the alarm goes on. After I let it cool, I start and run it fast and it works fine the rest of the day. I have already replaced the T-stats. That did not help. I had the heads off and...
