    1998 Evinrude 200 Ocean Pro idling/stalling issue

    not sure if your engine has these, timer base? shift switch? powerpacks? electronics can be tough to troubleshoot. do you have a vro pump? could be something on the fuel side of the pump.

    1992 Sailfish w/ 7.4L Mercruiser and Bravo Drive

    i also am looking for the same package in a sailfish, for the same reasons you are. there are some posts on this site if you do a search. i was involved in a few of them as i was doing research on the same subject, repowering a sailfish. no substitute for cubic inches.

    Transom Seal (Should I Be Worried?)

    older gradys are known for problems with the aluminum cap. i eliminated the cap when i rebuilt the transom.

    Transom Seal (Should I Be Worried?)

    i knew mine was bad when i drilled a hole for a wire clip and a stream of water came out. you can check yourself by taking a small hammer and tapping on the transom if the transom is good you will hear a sharp rap, where its soft you will hear a dull rap.

    Transom Seal (Should I Be Worried?)

    hey jonah, there shouldn't be any steel in there. looking at your pictures it seems to me that water most likely is getting in, so i would check your transom for any rot that might have started. i have an 82 tournament that i replaced the transom on. if you are handy it wasn't that big of a deal.

    Offshore Rear Drains - One More Question!l

    Re: Offshore Rear Drains They are transom drain tubes, I replaced mine when I did my transom. I bought mine from a local grady dealer. Measure the dia. and the length.
