Nice video Ben. I love the sound of the old 2 strokes. And the sound of the water lapping at the aluminum boat.

It's still a heck of a runner for a 60 year old outboard. It does seem like after the 90s, things just got more complicated rather than any better. Thanks for watching!

This is a very nice lake. I feel fortunate to have a place where I can access it. The motor has become one of my go tos and favorites to run. I really enjoy my Alumacraft FDs. It is a wonderful boat to use at on this lake. Thanks for watching!

Good Saturday afternoon Ben! She’s a really nice runner for an older 18 horse! Still those are pretty decent speeds for a new “old stock” Michigan wheel prop! Sorry the Loons didn’t want to sing! Do have a great weekend up your way! I am here! Mark in Iowa.

Good Afternoon, Mark! Yes, she's a very nice running 18. It's one of my go tos for a regular runner now. I would agree, this is very good speed for a NOS MW prop. I'm happy to see that the ones I have worked over with sanding and polishing actually do show some benefit for the work I did on them. It isn't a lot, but it's something and the fact they do keep up with or slightly outperform a NOS example is nice to know. Both of my sanded and polished ones started out a little on the rough side. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!

Now thats a nice runner! I found a few older bronze/brass props the other day I had in storage so need to check who made them and what they belong on.

Dang. Wish my 18HP would run that good. Or run at all for that matter. Been having a lot of problems with it for some reason. It’s a 1964 Evinrude. And for some reason, I cannot get the thing running. Tore apart the carb, replaced the fuel pump. Everything and it still isn’t running…
@oldjohnnyrude8404
Күн бұрын
This is a wonderful runner. When you had the carb apart, what cleaning did you do? Did you remove the low speed needle? Clean out the idle circuit with spray cleaner? Remove and clean the main jet that is behind the drain plug in the bottom of the carb bowl? That part is often overlooked since it is so well hidden. Did you use an OEM fuel pump or an Amazon/ebay knockoff? The small square Chinese pumps have a reputation for being very poor quality. Have you gone through the ignition?

Hey I have very Good Internet Question ❓ is that motor Strong enough to pull 🎿 s skier it's 18HP ?
@oldjohnnyrude8404
2 күн бұрын
Well, the short answer is yes, this motor can pull a skier. Thay said, it cannot pull "any" skier and the skier will most likely have to take off from a standing start. It may be quite difficult to pull an adult skier up out of the water to skiing. The other caveat is that with two people in the boat (to satisfy the requirement of having a spotter) it would put even more load on the motor. Still, if the prop pitch was reduced to a 9x9, it would still probably be able to pull a smaller adult skier from a standing start. There are many factors at work though. All this said, a friend of mine was able to ski behind a 10hp Johnson a few years back, so this 18 would certainly have the capability to pull a skier. Thanks for watching!

Would you or some one you know be interested in a 1953 Evinrude 15 horse out board motor ?? It runs but needs a little work.
@oldjohnnyrude8404

I like those motors. I guess my interest would depend on the condition, price and location. I already have a '53 and two '54s in good running condition so I surely don't need it, but there's always room to pick one up if it is nicer than my others and get rid of one of those.
