    Where does the 12v change to 24v?

    I just picked up an 88 Stratos with 150hp Johnson an it has a Evinrude trolling motor. It says 24v on the motor, turns slow because of only 12v at the motor. Both new batteries have separate black an red cables that go to the front. Two large red and one large black go into a large receptacle...

    115 johnson Water pump, mallory dont match.

    I just received my water pump through the mail, and have discovered that my housing (that I didn't think I needed to replace) is somewhat smaller than the Mallory that I thought was "just better quality".

    85 Johnson 115 hp Leaking gear oil inside prop housing

    Gear oil leaking maybe from bearing housing

    I have a 85 Johnson 115 that seems to be leaking gear oil from under the seal on the prop shaft itself. I removed the prop, and the seal on the shaft looks to be much dryer than the bottom of the housing. I haven't ran the engine on the water yet due to my "distrust of the facts" from the...

    Removing the gear case on a 84 115 Johnson

    I have a leaky seal, and haven't a clue on removing the gear case. I see 4 bolts in front + 1 bolt in the rear on a small block.
