She runs...well sorta. Got everything bolted on, carb leaks fixed, fuel line fixed, starter on, gased her up and she ran. Was shocked to be honest as it fired up the first crank of the key. Now the problem is she won't stay running. I think it may be a fuel pump issue as if I keep priming...

I second Spare on the Olympus waterproof. I have had one for 3-4 years now and the thing just keeps on going no matter how much I beat it up. Mine takes pretty damn good photos, but the newer models are even better. http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_digital.asp?section=tough I...

Sounds like you are going to need a new starter if your battery checks out. I had a similar issue where the starter just wouldn't spin up fast enough to engage the flywheel. Well after replacing the battery and not solving the problem I pulled the starter and a mechanic bench tested it. Was...

Well I have my last couple of parts trickling in from boats.net for the Merc, hope to take a whack at getting it running either this weekend or next week. Right now I am working on some fiberglass repair on the bottom of the McKee, should keep me busy for a bit! -Svence

The tank in the later years was 65 gallons so I don't think going bigger is going to hurt your performance drastically, unless you are running a 115 HP or something. -Svence

That's exactly what I was thinking. Something like... http://norfolk.craigslist.org/boa/2319376318.html -Svence

Or this. Good pics of what's inside. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OMC-REMOTE-OIL-FILL-KIT-174133-/220437615723?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item33531b146b -Svence

Wish it was that easy! I just happened to stumble upon these while looking for the one I need. What year/model do you need for Evinrude? -Svence

http://1manual.com/Mercury%20manuals/intro.html Not sure what years are covered or not but found this while looking for a manual for my 82 (not covered, :bat:). Hope someone can find some use out of these. -Svence

Well found a rebuild kit and will start tearing them apart. Now my only problem is I don't know how they go back on.... When I bought the boat the carbs were off and I can't figure out the linkage system for the choke. Anyone have an idea or pic on one rigged up? I can't seem to get...

Anyone familiar with these enough to help me find a carb rebuild kit? It is an 1982 (serial 5951267) with a tillotson carb. Cannot find any other info on it and it seems like there are 50 different carbs for that year. -Svence

2 or 4 per leg, either way, if you are drilling in the deck make sure you seal it up good with 5200 or caulk or something. You don't want that wood getting wet and rotting out. -Svence

http://www.amazon.com/Toggler-Stainless-Steel-Toggle-Anchors/dp/B0000AZ73L Should help you on the thrubolting to the floor. Not as good as true washers and nuts but will give you a little bigger bite into the backside. -Svence

I say go for it. For that kind of money you will be hard pressed to find something 1998+ in good running order. See if you can knock him down to $1000, run it till something goes wrong and then look at fixing it/replacing it. Even if you buy a reman'd L/U for $1000 you are out 2G's and you...

Are the 150 - 200 HP's the same lowers? Or is it just 150-175? -Svence

Never found a new one, just ended up repowering the same one I had. Why, you getting rid of that gem of yours? I am sure we can work out a deal... -Svence

And does anyone know about that trim setup? Looks like the pump is inside the boat and the dash has a three button tilt/trim setup... -Svence
