    2hp gas leak

    I have a 1984 2hp Johnson that I cleaned the carburetor and put a kit in it. After reassembling everything, I fired it up. It seems to run fine but now I have a gas leak from the carburetor.

    24'... or smaller?

    My wife and I have been thinking about buying a pontoon for some time now and hopefully, within the next few weeks, we'll be able to buy.

    BeeCraft transom repair

    Hello, first time poster here, although I?ve lurking for a while. I recently picked up a 1975 BeeCraft fiberglass trihull as a project boat. The price was right? free. It has a nice trailer under it and a 1973 Johnson 50. According to the former owner, the boat had been sitting for four years...
