Re: Removing Water From Fuel Tank

Dario, I have owned a 1975 Revenge since it was new and I am sure we can help you with your tank....whatever the concern is. But some more info would help a lot. Q3: How much water are you discovering and how often, and where are you finding it? Fot example, are you finding it in the bottom of a gla...

Re: Overhaul Fuel Delivery on 1987 REVENGE 22

I used to own an 1990 Revenge 22 with twin Johnson 120 hp outboards on a conventional transom (no Whaler Drive). When I bought it in 2012, I decided to change the fuel hoses on principle since the former owner said he never did. Tank & Hose R&R 3a.jpg The original configuration of my...

I currently own a 1973 Outrage 19. The hull number is engraved on the transom in the upper port side. The number BWCA81730373 is shown in this pic:

Re: Method of Indicating Federal Hull Identification number

I owned a 1990 Revenge 22 for about 10 years but sold it in 2019. The hull number, BWC5H823G990, was on a metal tag riveted to the upper starboard transom. Here is a pic:

Re: 1974 OUTRAGE: Identify Bolts in Motor Well; Adhesive Used to Join Hull Sections

Steve, one more hint to make your job less risky. When the superstructure is removed, it is very flimsy because the gunwales are only tied in at the forward sides where the small deck is. To provide better stability and avoid cracking the superstructure when lifting, we put a 2x4 across the two ster...

By the way, I forgot to answer your question on the bolts in the splashwell: They are a mystery to me. The splashwell and stern area should have no bolts in it on the sides or bottoms. They must have been put there to hold something down by a previous owner. The only thing in the fishwell are two ey...

I believe one should do whatever makes one happy, since all vinyl letters can be easily removed if the boat is to be sold or you want to change the name.

Re: 1989 Evinrude 225 No Spark

For graphic description of these flywheel magnets, I have attached a pic from my nephew's Evinrude 225 (not sure what year it is, but around 1990). It appears one magnet came loose and jammed in between the stator or stationary engine block, then took out the rest like dominoes.

I don't know what the part is you are asking about. OMC sells epoxy for gluing the magnets of the V6 engines. It is P/N 431929. If you need a magnet and epoxy, it is P/N 584304.
