    Notification when shipped?

    Friend ordered a prop last weekend and used the wrong address, he sent an email but there has been no response. Will there be a notification sent when the item is shipped or should I go to the wrong address and ask them if they got a prop in the mail? Canada BTW.

    10ft dinghy, 15hp johnson prop reccomendation

    What is the stock prop for a 1994 15HP johnson? I bought this motor, had it out a couple of times and I think I spun the hub. The prop is a 9.5x12.5. It performed great with just me in it @ about 425lbs total loading, was doing about 25mph, but with my friend @ about 650lbs loading the hole...

    That's not a levitation trick.

    15hp is too much for a little SIB

    I have the exact same boat and motor; I think the bombard 305 is just a zodiac rebrand. My equipment bag eats all the bow space so we sit on the side tubes while moving and then one of us moves upfront on the bench seat while fishing. I'm a pretty big guy around 245lbs, maybe I need to get an...

    1969 Evinrude 9.5 hp Carb help

    The screw driver isn't so special, I made one by finding a long phillips head driver that just cleared the diameter of the hole and then grinding out the tip. You could also make one from a piece of drill rod or similar.

    15hp is too much for a little SIB

    After a string of disappointing under-powered or half working motors for two fat guys on a little 10ft inflatable I decided to make the jump to a 15hp motor. I took it out by myself to test the motor and at first I was wondering why it couldn't match the worn out 9.5hp I had before. After about...

    1994 15hp dies at mid throttle and up, revs to hell in neutral

    Had my new acquisition out on the water today. In neutral if you advance the throttle it sometimes blubbers but it usually revs up so fast you think it's going to blow. In gear the motor will not run at all mid throttle, low throttle to mid is working ok and I'd estimate I got maybe 4hp out of...

    1994 Johnson 15hp

    My latest acquisition. Is the motor supposed to make a whooshing noise like hoot hoot hoot when you crank it? http://i.imgur.com/j32tpGB.jpg Everything on the motor looks alright except for these head bolts which were loose and have paint coming off in areas. Is this an indication of anything...

    96 DT8C overheated?

    Here is what happened in chronological sequence. I had the motor on a test stand with the waterline about half an inch above the cavitation plate. I tried to start the motor with the choke on, the motor started, spun up to a high speed and then cut out. After repeating this several more times...

    96 suzuki dt8 or older OMC 9.9?

    Which would you go for assuming same price, because that's what I'm looking at locally; mostly old merc blue stripes and OMC's from 70's and 80's.

    Doctor we have a problem

    I guess using the old gasket and a head from a different engine block was not such a good idea. http://i.imgur.com/CVHbGcp.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mh73iA2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eFM2ZG0.jpg

    Johnson 9.5 gouged pistons, swapping parts.

    No it's right side up. I messed it up before when I tried to set it, I thought I was doing it right according to the instructions on leeroy's website. http://www.leeroysramblings.com/OMC_9.5.htm The site says to make the float slightly off level, but doesn't say if it should be up or down.

    Bendix rope starter binding on retract?

    Was working fine before I removed it and put it on a different head. Caused by not enough tension? The rope won't retract tight against the body but the spool is fully wound. Is there a way to increase tension without removing it from the body?

    HD 25 coils

    I remember there was something weird with the coils when I was fixing my HD25; one of my circuits was reading open and eventually the wire came off as I was moving it around. The coil casing had a grommet installed, but the actual wire didn't come out of the grommet but rather a small hole in...
