Looking to buy a 14 or 15' flats/jon boat with a 10 ro 15 hp motor on it. Doesn't have to be beautiful but I want something that is going to be reliable. The V20 doesn't run too well in 12" to 24" of water and we have some great skinny water fishing down here. Anybody that has something along...

So the other day, a "friend" of mine called me and said he has a '90 Suzuki 225 for sale for $500 with the controls and everything. He says it runs but it isn't on a boat. I don't know how to test it obviously or even check to see if the compression is up to spec. Any ideas if this is worth the...

Has anybody used this product? And if so, do you have any feedback on it?

ok, I've read and read about the proper porp size for my V. I need a little help because it is all so confusing. Here are the details, best I know. Any help would be appreciated. Standard V20 Center Console Evinrude 150 WOT = ? unknown (Ferm or tsubuki might be able to help on this) I don't...

Too rich for my blood, but a beautiful boat for sure.... http://daytona.craigslist.org/boa/2303494339.html

I just wanted to upload some of the pics I took during the transom repair I recently did. I used Arjay based on recommendations from this site. I am really glad I did. If you are considering doing the transom repair, this is definately the product to get. Get in touch with Fiberglass Services in...

I have a 1984 Evinrude 150 and it becoming VERY apparent that I need to get the carbs rebuilt. I'd like to find someone from this site to do the work. Perhaps someone like Ferm if he is close enough and wants to do the work. Any help is very much appreaciated :beer:

So, the primer solenoid in my 84 Evinrude 150 was leaking. I bought the repair kit as suggested. Went to install it last night and got it put back together and all of a sudden the choke doesn't work and the motor won't start. :head: First indication that there was an issue was when I pushed...

I have 2 issues (ok, actually more but this isn't the forum for that) :/ I have a 1984 Evinrude 150: First problem is when I try to crank the engine, the starter will not "engage". The gear on the top of the starter won't move up every time. It does sometimes if I'm patient but 7 out of 10...

Guys (and gals), I am in serious need of some help here. I bought a 77 V20 center console late last year and started saving to get the motor repaired (carbs rebuilt, water pump, etc...) and to re-do the transom (with arjay per the suggestions on this site). Well, last night I did a compression...

So, I've been looking around this site for a week or so and have gained a ton of really cool insight into repairing the boat I just recently purchased. I have to, as many others have said they've done, replace the transom in my boat. I decided to pour mine using Arjay rather than use plywood...

I have a 77 V20 CC. Anybody know what the stock fuel tank size was for it? I've searched the sitre and can't find any definitive answer. Thanks for your help.

So, my son and I just purchased/traded for a 77 V20 cc this last weekend. It appears that we are going to have to replace the transom in the boat. First though, we have to get the Evinrude 200 off the boat. I have a cherry picker but would like to know what is the best method to attach to the...
