Turned over the motor today and no problems. I decided to change the lower end gear oil. It's the first time I ever saw water come out along with old black oil, smells like it got hot. "oh sH&*!. I've seen milky oil in other motors but never this 'texas tea' combo. I hope it's just the plug...
anyone have a good how-to for re-upholstering vinyl seats and side rails? My 1990 Sea Ray walk through needs some inside attention. Are there Sea Ray oems or patterns for upholstery details?<br />I have the tools and the time.<br />thanks
I'd like to mount my old transom mount trolling motor I used for my canoe on the bow of my 18ft Searay bowrider. Looks like I need a bracket extension bolted to the boat that folds back into the boat. Any suggestions would be appreciated.<br /><br />BobbyP :p

1990 140 Johnson outboard. where is the motor number? i'll need it for parts later so i better find the location. it's a rebuilt head and i'm a boating know nothing. :rolleyes:

hooty and friends,<br /><br />When I had the rebuilt Johnson 140 (1990) checked out (buying boat), the mechanic said the overheat alarm on the temp gauge was not working. Any ideas? It's on a 1990 18' Searay bowrider with all gauges in console.<br /><br />j140
Joe,<br />Followed a lot of your replies for OMC products.<br />I purchased a 1990 Sea Ray w/140 Johson OB (auto mix is disabled, I premix 50:1) Just had it inspected by a local mechanic and naturally he'd like some business. I have a couple of basic questions on standard maintenance, specs and...
thanks ahead.<br />'used johnson 140 OB with rebuilt head'. compression 125+ in all 4. runs good. <br />problem is the swivel points on the motor were not greased properly and rusted causing sticky left/right steering movement and a popping, metal to metal binding sound when tilting the motor up...
Thanks ahead. What is the method to 'balance' the trailer/boat to my truck? Nissan Frontier (4cyl) with Reese hitch, 18' boat with 140hp OB. Maybe take it to the place I had the hitch installed?
