I have a 1970 johnson 85esl. I need to sell this boat due to a move. It ran just fine last season never had an issue. I go to start it today and it won't even cough. I don't have much experience with outboards. Batteries are charged. Fresh fuel. But nothing. I am confused because it ran fine all...

Re: gearbox question
Here is what I think but I could be wrong. there is no manual linkage that I can find at the control or the motor. I am pretty sure that it is electronic. the switch that you can see sitting in notch is the selector. When I flip the switch either way with the power on and...
I am new to boating and i don't know what the deal is here. I have a 70 Johnson 85 HP model #85esl-70d. I got the motor fired up for the first time since I bought it. When pushing the throttle forward the motor revs up but the prop does not spin. Any ideas on what to adjust or what is up?
I have read a bunch on this and it just confused me more. I am going to put in two batteries. One I have to run all the aux stuff is a deep cycle 29 series battery. Do I want the same for the motor battery? The other question I have is on the switch. I get the first and second battery part of...

Re: bilge question
Here are the two pictures, the one on the outside shows the only hole that I can find, that hole leads into the "well" on the inside. I pulled out the foam that was in there. It was added later. home someone can tell me what this is.
I am a new to me owner of what I believe is a 1970 Glastron V 176. I have replaced the floors. Still need to recarpet it, re cover the seats and check out a couple other things, but I have a question. I don't see a bilge pump in the boat. There is an area in the back that appears to be circular...
I just got for free a sea nymph boat that needs a bit of work, one of the things is the motor. It is a Johnson 40hp. The engine parts seems to be in great shape, I have not tried to start it because it is missing all the parts from the motor to and including the prop. I have the lower head but...
