When to give up on an outboard motor

This video is about when to give up on an old outboard and just replace it. Eventually an outboard will just be too far gone and fixing it is no longer a good option. In this step of the Green Machine restoration project I remove the old motor from the hull in order to get ready for the new one arriving. Removing an outboard from a boat involves removing the wiring loom, the control cables, the steering cable and the four bolts that secure it to the transom. I then use a standard engine crane to lift it off the back of the boat and put it onto a wooden outboard stand.

When I did a rebuild, I had a feeling it was 1 piston bearing failure. Took it all apart and checked on part availability before I started. Ended up being much cheaper to rebuild the entire outboard than buy a used one or new one. Luckily no damage that couldnt be mended, 2/4 pistons needed to be replaced but other than that good to go. All new seals, gaskets, and some serious cleaning.

Dangar i like your videos and your honesty. i have a 1978 85 hp Johnson since new and its been on several boats. i rebuilt it 5 years ago the power head that is and taught myself to do it. i have spent 4 grand on this motor. i paid the dealer to completely restore the lower unit and electrical systems. he was reluctant to do the work and as you said he advised buying new. i explained to him that if it were a 1965 corvette would he refurbish it and he said of course. So i said well this is my corvette and i want it restored. He insisted on payment up front which i just reached in my pocket and handed him 3 Grand for his work. i have a lot of sentimental value in this motor. and it has been running for 4 years now better than new. The mechanic is always asking me about the motor as he said he never finds people like me who will spend money on old motors. he was also thankful for the job as he was able to train his two young techs on my motor so they could get the experience. thanks again for the great videos!

I've had great success with Evinrude motors all second or third hand, I've never spent more than a $1000 on one. I use them for a season tune them up and get rid of them to finance the next project. My favorite are 80's- 90's 40-45 hp Evinrude/Johnson our boating season is short so they tend to last longer than most places. I had a 69 Evinrude 18hp that I bought for $120 and turned it into $500 with a half hour of wrenching. Looking forward to your restoration vids of the boat.

There is no doubt you can get great second hand motors, that's for sure. It is a good point about having a short boating season. All the second hand motors around here have been used 365 days a year in salt water, so by the time they are 20 years old they've done a lot of work.

You have no idea how many people I’ve had that wanted to repair a “dodgy” outboard. When they insist, and get handed a repair bill for more than what the outboard is worth, they get upset. I’m certain you see more of it dealing with salties than I do dealing with freshies, but I digress. Greetings from Ohio, USA. One day I’d love to come to your country to pay a visit.

Nice, hopefully I'd see this video before getting into my adventure with my 1968 evinrude boat/motor combination. Actually it was running very well some times but one problem after another killed this idea. Hull and trailer was good like one on the video. In any case everyone needs a starter boat and all of us learn from mistakes.

All that aluminum dust looks very familiar to me. I have been running a 1989 40hp Johnson for 3 years. This motor was given to me so I have very little money in it and no particular attachment to it. Something under the flywheel is grinding away, that is the source of the dust on my motor. It also has low compression in on of the cylinders and a leaky lower unit. it is time to give up the ghost... I happened across a 2006 40hp Etec for a good price. The best thing about this new motor is that it is basically brand new. It only has 2 hours of run time! The previous owner thought is was too much motor for his boat so he swapped it and the motor has been in the shop for years. It was properly winterized before it was stored. I picked it up for 2500. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be ready to pick up tomorrow!

Some problems can definitely be tricky to track down. Can be a little cut in the fuel line that starts to suck air at high RPM, can be a coil that can't provide spark at high rate. There are just so many possibilities that ruling them out one by one is the only way sometimes.

My 2002 Tohatsu 8 hp is all memories now. Ironically it still ran great even with severe corrosion. The head has to be removed to change the thermostat . Once I started turning bolts, things broke and crumbled. The bottom of the power head was fused to the midsection with a fist sized lump of corrosion and mineral deposits. Parts of the power head were completely gone! Mixed feelings that I tore apart a running motor, but I can't imagine it could have gone much longer

On the ocean. When to give up is a bit different than if you’re on a pond. In my opinion. I can live with the occasional hiccup with my freshwater boat. I have an oar and a trolling motor that can get me to the shore line. On my center console. It stays on the saltwater all summer. If I start having issues while offshore. That’s a totally different animal.

We run a Yanmar 2qm15 diesel inboard on our 16 footer. Not the fastest set up in the world but really reliable never had any issues, admittably our boating season is alot shorter than urs. Have u considered diesel outboards like from say Yanmar? Never used em myself but I've seen people with that sort of set up. Their outboards are no slouch for a diesel. A lot quicker than our clunker haha. Keep up the good work lookin forward for more!

Hi mate, that's a tough call. You will almost never get a block from a wrecker that isn't already a complete engine (with the price tag that goes along with that). It would be interesting to see what a block costs from Yamaha as they do sell them separately. If you are interested in giving yourself a project to sink your teeth into it could be a good one, but it certainly wouldn't be simple one! :)

If you have 5 minutes to spare some day please watch "What's wrong with my Johnson?!! Part 1 and 2. Let me know what you would do! Cheers from Canada!

Hi sir first of all I want to thank you for the video My question is there's a very Ald 17' ranger 115hp jonhson, for sale for $2,500 start ok and sound normal he sad the compression on 2 top was 125 and the 2 bottom 120 but I saw oil on bottom by the spark plugs he sad that that's normal on that engine due to the carburator, it's that right?

Hi Jeff, it isn't uncommon for water to come out an exhaust relief port as well as the tell tale and through prop exhaust. These ports are normally on the back of the outboard however but I'm not overly familiar with your exact model.

Hi Tyrone. This means that the ignition grounding wire isn't connected somewhere. It could be at the key barrel, a broken wire in the loom going to the motor, or the connector at the outboard end. It is generally white on the Yamahas and yellow and black on the Mercs and Evinrudes (I think!)

Thanks for the great videos, do you ever consider the pollution that some of these old motors produce? I guess that goes hand in hand with fuel efficiency. I love recycling old stuff but like my (really) old truck that I kept fixing, it kind of bothered me that it was a bit of a polluter. I loved that truck and really miss it but the frame was rotted, and it was too old for a complete rebuild. So I traded it in.
@DangarMarine
@DangarMarine 5 жыл бұрын
I much prefer 4 stroke motors because of the pollution side of things. With regards to replacing the old truck or car, it turns out that the pollution created to make the new truck is much more that the old truck would produce for the rest of your life.

Yes, someone also said that to me, so we come full circle, it makes sense in some cases to fix what you have for environmental reasons. I am in construction, and have demolished several old houses to build new homes, and it was many large truckloads to the dump, really a lot of waste. So in a way, I am guilty! Thanks for the reply and great videos.

Not much of a mechanic, but what to see what I can do about fixing my 2002 outboard 25 Mercury or to accept it as a loss. Newbie boat owner, did not realize on a 2 stroke I needed a mix. The motor is seized up now. Any advice or educational material you could recommend would be appreciated. I have the full motor manual and a decent set of tools and would like to learn how to fix this out on my own. If all else fails I can always take it in to a professional. By the sounds of it, is it a complete scrap or do I have a chance at fixing it? Im mostly worried about permanent damage, if I can unseize the thing. Thanks for any the info!
@DangarMarine
@DangarMarine 7 жыл бұрын
If it is still seized tight then it will need to be disassembled to see if there is damage to the cylinder walls. Often outboards will seize from lack of oil and free up again once they cool down. If the cylinder walls are badly damaged then it is likely to need to be rebored and over sized pistons installed which is pretty much what I did with the recent series of videos on the Evinrude 150.

I have a '99 NISSAN NS70C outboard that the magnets broke loose and broke up under the fly wheel. The magnets and flywheel is not available from NISSAN/TOHATSU and after 3 months I haven't found a used flywheel. This engine is a 3-cyl, 3 magnet CDI sytem that was replaced in 2003. Is there any other outboard that uses that system that parts could be scavanged from? The engine is in very good condition and low hours so what would you recommend?

Hi Terry, that's a frustrating situation. I'm not sure of a direct swap, but was the flywheel replaced with a different system? Can you change to the newer flywheel and put the matching electronics under it? I know that would probably get expensive though.

If the thermostat is stuck closed on the outboard then it doesn't matter how much water it is pumping, not of it will make it through the water jackets to cool the motor. i'd start by checking that and then look for blocked water jackets if the thermostat is okay.

Hey Dangar, Your videos are so perfect i think I've seen almost every one. I watch them just to learn not that i need to change my dog clutch. lol But this video hits home. I recently gave up on a 50 HP seahorse Johnson that ran great and Have kicked way to much money into its replacement Anyways. What happened was the Gearcase wouldn't split from the midsection because of either driveshaft corrosion or twisted splines. I tried wedges and even cold steel chisiels. I could only get 1/16 separation around the whole thing. I took to a local mechanic he's said i was *&$%ed. In your opinion do you think i gave up to early? I should say I gave up when i saw gas and oil burp, then run down the from of the cowling by the driveshaft, which i thought was the crankseal. THANKS FOR THE AWESOME VIDEOS

Hi mate, glad you've been enjoying the vids. It's really hard to say exactly when to give up on an outboard, but when you can't get it apart to work on it it sure is hard to move forward. Sometimes buying a similar model and using the old one for parts can be a good way to go.

I would try running it with one spark plug lead disconnected and then the other. To see if it is only one cylinder that is working. If it is only running on one cylinder then check for spark on the one that isn't working. It may be a coil issue. Not sure of anyone down in Sutherland to look at it, but there are some big dealers down that way that will be able to take a look.
