Bought a new 250 and the old motor is coming off of the boat as I type this. The motor has just over 200 hours and here is the compression:

CYLINDER DROP TEST, #2 CYLINDER DID NOT RESPOND. CHECKED...

I currently have an 08 Optimax 225. Lost all compression on a cylinder, and the others are low (95-110). I am near Cincinnati.

Thanks!

Oh thank you so much. I confirmed they are oil bath vs the hybrid grease.

Hi All,

I have been searching and searching and can't seem to find out what size I need. I am getting ready to make a drive to purchase a boat that I have had independently inspected, and the...

Was on the water, and after running fine for 1/2 day, would get up on plane and the boat backed itself down slowly until it stopped. I could then only go about 7mph. This was the case for about 2...

It's thick like a tube but has a silver metal connector on the end. Speedo makes sense since my gauge is not working. But where does this plug into?

Saw this today hanging out of my motor and am having a hard time finding out what it is. Speedo? Motor is 2003. This is just above the lower unit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Never thought about the problem being on the boat side vs. the motor. The mechanic had told me the fuel lines, tanks, fittings, etc were fine. Perhaps a second opinion and thorough inspection is in...

Thanks. The reason I am looking to repower is that I can't quite solve an issue. At the end of the year, when I switch the tanks on my Ranger, I get fuel cut off over 4000 RPM. This is the 2nd time...

I am looking to repower from a 1994 150 Intruder and was wondering if the conversion to a newer E-TEC is easy enough that it would save parts and labor costs on having switch out all controls, etc.
...

Thank you all for the advice. I've decided to keep it and re-power when I find the right motor. The boat has been too good to me to get rid of.

Looking for some sound advice.

I have a mid 90's 354v that I love with the exception of the motor maitenance and gas mileage (Evinrude Intruder 150). So lately I have been tossing around the idea...

Great. Thank you so much!

Hey guys. We are making our first trip to Wilson ever next week for a brief recreational trip (staying close to the Wheeler/Wilson break). I am not tourney fishing, especially since I only own a 16ft...

Thanks Dave!

Staying near the 68 bridge this weekend..should we head north or south?

Thanks for the articles! I am used to fishing out of an 18' bass boat. But I am looking to downsize for a few reasons. One is the gas: my tow vehicle is a V-6 and my boat only gets 2 miles per...

The price is very good as is the condition, so I am not worried about the deal. I am just looking for people who know about this model and it's good points and quirks.

I have the opportunity to purchase one of these wih a 70HP motor. I was wondering if any owners can attest to how it rides, fishes, etc.

Thanks for the help!

Night fishing has been on and off. When the traffic has been down, the fishing has been good. We had 22 in the boat one night, and would have had a decent bag for a tourney. Last week another boat in...

Just wondering if anyone out there has put a deck extension on a 383V, and if so, your experience and any advice and/or plans. Thanks!
