    Outboard question

    I was on "I boats" forum years ago, tried getting back in and couldn't remember the PW, in waiting for the email they said they sent to reset.... Tried the username I use everywhere besides here and the /6 forum, wanted to register fresh. It said "username must be unique. Pick something else. We...

    Outboard question

    I recently got a parts breakdown from egag for the 7-1/2hp. I found the original pn for the impellers. Went back to egag and searched for it. Several hits, don't know how one guy thinks he can get $58 for the same NOS OEM impeller as another seller had for $8. For $8 ea, I bought all 3 that guy...

    I see a couple of trim/tilt units on places like CL but listed for newer versions of this engine. I wonder how interchangeable they are between years?

    Outboard question

    The last 50hp I messed with was a '59 Evinrude starflite 4 cylinder. Ran great but too light of HP for the boat we had it on. We bought the 115 to replace it for a few more ballz but Dad died, we never got it mounted. If I get it id like to convert that 115 to power tilt/ trim if possible but...

    Outboard question

    My Mom is in bad shape, my brother's are going thru things and have a dumpster there. I was asked if there's anything I wanted from there and Dad's old 7-1/2 and the '70 115 are the only things I spoke for. I'm the last one to have run either, the 115 was last started in 97, the 7-1/2 was not...

    Outboard question

    The 7-1/2s have a clutch rod that protrudes above the gas tank and starter , just says "clutch" and they spin 360* in their mount, you have to spin them around 180* for "reverse" I know the next year newer they changed that engine a lot, 54 they went to remote tank and I believe actually got a...

    Outboard question

    I've been thru the ignition on these things albeit 10 years ago, neither has seen water since. If things play out I may need 2x the parts for the fleetwin. I have a line on my dad's which is a twin to mine. On the 63 18hp I have never been able to pull that thing over with the pull start...

    Outboard question

    How hard is parts for 50s/ 60s Evinrude? Need an engine gasket set, carb kit, and probably an impeller for a 53 fleetwin (7-1/2hp model 7512 ) and a fuel pump gasket, plus possibly a carb kit and impeller for a 63 18hp (model 18302 if I remember right)

    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    Sounds like miserable Illinois. Chicago and Springfield themselves are blue, most of the rest of 100 counties aren't. How 2 counties can out rule the other 100, has always baffled me. Look at the geographic size of Chicago especially compared to the size of the whole state. Even if you add in...

    Ebay water pump does $1000 in damage.

    That trans that lasted 3 months was a junkyard find that for all the world looked like a fresh rebuilt, which was why I got it. It had been under my bench for 3-4 years after I got it, and I put it in back in July last year and it died in October. I am just now getting to put the rebuilt...

    Ebay water pump does $1000 in damage.

    I've had 6 Dakota's and 2 Durangos, only the most recent Durango has a ".7" engine (4.7) and I haven't had that one very long. plus a "1500" with a magnum and wouldn't say cooling system was an issue on any of them. My biggest issue with radiators seems to be caused by Bambi. I'm replacing...

    Ebay water pump does $1000 in damage.

    Wow 7.... I've never put more than 2 on any of my magnum engines. What kind of pumps are you using? And when I put the 2nd one on it was because I had to be taking it off for something else anyway and replaced it only because I had it off. The op seems to be about a newer engine he says...

    Disowning Family Members

    Wow oh wow. I drive past that place daily. At least once, sometimes twice depending on which way I go. Sad to hear. I have heard the team "I disowned (someone)" many times, I thought that was just a way of say I don't talk to them no more, want nothing to do with them, didn't know there was...

    Are you a Mopar purist?

    I remember a certain 69 F250 that my brother was so pissed off at its 390, that he seriously considered a 318/727..... before there was a way to turn a 318 into a 390... Luckily (for the truck) a guy I knew totaled out a 69 galaxie that happened to have had a good running 390 in it.... that I...

    Trying to summon the motivation

    Yeah I used to be the guy who went to my buddy's house and asked where they were at on whatever project they were working on. Id get looking at it and before we knew it we were all working on their stuff. I've never had that luxury to have others do the same over here. I mean sometimes it would...

    45 bucks for wiper blades?

    I have 2 Durangos that take the same ones as each other. I just got a pile of them from rock auto. Several years ago when I had my wrangler I had one break on my way home and had to stop at the first place that should have them. Ended up at an o'wrongleys and paid $28 for the only 13" blades...

    We're in a car seat situation too (grand kids one is 3, his sister is 1-1/2. The trans died in the 01 Durango at 314k and we needed something bigger than reg cab pickup trucks in case we needed to haul both of them, we've done 1 or the other in my truck. I wish my 96 Dakota cab and a half had...
