Well my Vigil radar finally died on my 1978 40' Jersey Dawn...I have two questions...a. Does anyone know anyone who still works on them in the MA area...b. Does anyone know of or can recommend a radar system without all the other stuff built into it...I just want an affordable stand alone radar...
Hello,
I just received the above outboard on a 12 foot aluminum Mirrocraft boat. I'm going through the processes to get the motor running, but it also didn't have a prop. Does anyone know what a standard prop for that setup would be. I tried to find the prop on Iboats but there are a lot of...
J150ELETO I've been looking around for a couple sets of spare plugs for my motor. The book says Champion QL77JC4 (@ .030) or 828M, also seeing NGK BR9HS...just wondering what plugs you guys find work best in Johnson engines.
Thanks,
Bill
Hi There,
I bought an 18' Wellcraft with the above motor. While in the process, I found the (watercooled) Reg/Rec not working and the PO fixed it to the tune of a couple hundred I guess. Of course not knowing why it blew, I've been wondering about something. How much amperage draw would it...
Could you guys recommend a spark plug tester, and a link to see it.... I have a 1993 200hp. I've read threads where it is recommended to see if the spark will jump 7/16." The testers I've seen hook to the plug wire and plug and I guess light up if spark is getting there...wondering how you do...
While we are on some electrical topics what are the thoughts about turning the battery switch from "1" to "2" or "Both" while the engine is running. I have new power packs and regulator/rectifier on mine and would like to keep them that way. In the process of buying the boat I noticed the tach...
I have a 1993 Johnson 150 HP, EXETG, wondering what you guys recommend for 2 stroke oil, also what you recommend for a decarb product. I found this oil in Ebay and what's in there now looks about the same color...
Hi There,
What are you guys using for service manuals for a Johnson 150? I bought a Seloc when I had my Force 40 and didn't think it was very detailed. Thanks, Bill
Heading out tomorrow to look at an 18' CC with the above motor. It looks well taken care of, do you guys know of any inherent problems I should be on the lookout for?
Thanks,
Bill
I'm in the process of buying a 1990 18' Sports Craft with the above motor. I put that serial number off the tag in Crowley and got nothing. I looked in the Master Tech Model year chart and got 1993 ELPTO which seems okay, other than the original bill of sale for the motor says 1992. When I...
Hello,
I'm looking at a boat with the above motor. Wondering about parts availability, where to look engine diagrams and parts, and what you guys think about dependability.

Hello there,
I'm looking at a 19' boat with a 1989 Mercury Black Max 200hp...The motor started right up today, in a tub, and at high idle pumps plenty of water...when he brought it back to idle, the pee-ing slowed and stopped. The owner said something about that model being a "cold engine" and...
