How much longer is the L6 than the L4? I have an opportunity to buy a 165 with the drive for $450. Is it Worth it even if it needs rebuilding? Second, does anyone have a dimension for transom to front mount distance so I can see if it will fit? It's quite a drive just to get the dimensions then...
I have the prestolite high volume low pressure pump. It has the manual release valve on the bottom and 2 lines.
1) What is the real part number for this and what part number for the cap and brushes?
2) If I buy an oildyne unit, will it plug and play or will it need to be adapted?
3) Different...
I have an 82 Galaxy that used to have a 120 in it. When I rebuilt the transom I put a 140 from an 85 Renken in it with the complete works in and out. The lowers on both are good. The 3.0 had a craked block under the intake but runs good. It has been about 60 - 70 hours now ands the lifters...
I have an 85 Galaxy 180 with the 140 merc I/O. What would be the proper support for this on the trailer? The stringers are on ribs closest to the keel. The next set does not have any stringers. Should I move the bunks to the flat on the rib or leave it between the rib without stringer and rib...
What is the difference between the x51 and the x51 pro? Can the speed sensor for the x58 and x51 be used on the pro? I see nothing in the online manual that indicates so. Overtons has them on sale for 59.99 - $5 if you use a code I found. $ 60 after shipping so for a cheap depth finder in the...
Out on lake today. Boat ran good. Would pull tube and plane with no problem.
I noticed if I pulled back on throttle below 4k rpm after getting on plane, that if I rapidly move throttle to WO it acted just like it was slipping. I thought at first that the coupler broke. But yet out of the hole...
Are there any downloadable manuals for the motor? I have the one for the drive.
I just bought this boat and started fixing it up. Transom seems sound but how does one really tell it is rotted?
Currently the boat has a 19P prop on it and getting on plane with 2 people is quick. The tach goes to...
I bought a PJ-81 prop for my '72 or there abouts Johnson 50hp. The 14x13 oem has a thrustwasher on the inside that fits into the prop bore. It does not fit inside on the PJ-81, it would if the rubber was moved in further. Do I still use it or what? The shaft does have a taper so something is...
I have a Bayliner capri 14.5 with a johson 50hp 1972 large gearbox. The old force 50 junk would do about 32 mph on the speedo (inaccurate I'm thinking). The johnson has a 14x13 on it and I put an omc tach on it set to 6- check it with hand tach and really close. I can nail it and it jumps onto...
I have an evinrude lark 40hp electric shift. Runs good but the problem is it has a 23" shaft. What would that have been for. The old boat I had it on had the back braced up with aluminum plate and a 2x4 between to raise it. Can this be easily and cheaply converted back to short shaft? Or if I...
My $56 ebay motor runs awesome except at idle or when low speed jets are main circuit. Rebuilt carbs. Set low timing at 3 deg and max at 19 as per manual. 3 deg low also has cam at mark, as per supplement for manual. mix set in gear @idle warmed up. Seems as though it loads up at idle yet it...
