Just changed the water pump assembly on my 84 JohnsonV4 90hp and now water is shooting out along where the lower unit bolts on to the midsection and also some water is flowing out of the shift linkage hole also. I took it back apart and verified everything was put together properly and the only...

Re: House boat constuction question....
Thanks, oops!, I dug out enough of the rotten wood to see that the one by's are stapled at the top to the top plate. It seems the two options on replacing it are to either figure out how the roof is screwed and...

Re: House boat constuction question....

Re: Show Yer Boat II
Got a new to me one that fell in my lap to show off this week. 1993 30ft little Hobo House boat with a 90HP nissan on the back. Appears to have minimal usage.
Interior looks new.Minor repairs needed, parts on the way. Cant wait to put it in the water for test run.
And my...
I have a 84 for model 90hp johnson V4 bought a thermostat kit about a month ago and finally installed it today. Infrared thermometer shows the power head temp to be about 140-150 degrees now.It didnt occur to me to check the temp before. Does this seem about right? Or too Hot? Im pretty sure I...
I have around a 93 model 90hp NS90 nissan 2 stroke motor that the alarm is going off. Tell tale port is pumping water and there is plenty of oil in it. The alarm is going off anytime it is in gear even while the motor is not running. Ive seen the online owners manual from Nissan and it says what...
Just bought this 93 little hobo 30 ft'er and just behind the edges of the fiberglass top appear to be one by's that run all around it. Problem is they are deteriorated and need replaced. Any Ideas on how to go about this without removing the whole roof?
As you can tell from the pic I am replacing a steering cable. Ive got it moving and think it will come on out but before I do I wanted to make sure that it is coming out the right way.I mean the tube that is sliding out in the pic is supposed to come on out right? Being a support and pivot point...
An almost unbelievable trip 120 miles to the TN river a couple of weeks ago. Left home on what should have been a 2 1/2 hr trip towing my pontoon boat on a tandem trailer. I stopped for on-board fuel around mile 25 and upon checking the tires seen one of my trailer tires was starting to throw a...
Should be easily found in my manual but doesn't seem to be the case. Not sure when or if thermostat has ever been changed in my '84 90hp V4, and its on my list to do as PM , but I am unclear as to the location and procedure for checking/replacing it. Any help or diagrams on this is appreciated.
Re: Boating the MS river
Well I finally did it, couldnt resist the temptation any longer. Must say it was an interesting trip, not what I would call a leisurely cruise and not for the faint of heart. The current wasnt necessarily all that strong but the water was very turbulent. It felt as...
When the throttle control lever is all the way forward WOT position, shoulnt the butterflies on the carbs be wide open? mine are barely open, should I adjust this?
Ok so Ive come to the conclusion the VRO fuel pump is bad. Since the engine is already set up for premix fuel can I skip out on the $400 VRO pump and somehow install a regular Johnson outboard fuel pump($100) from a older motor? If so, where does the vacuum for the pump come from? How does it...
Title says it all, motor starts to die out, hit the primer bulb a couple of times and it revs back up. Checked the draw lines in tank for air leak, tightened clamps around filters and checked diaphram in VRO fuel pump. Any other thoughts? something simple Im overlooking? Any thoughts are...
