Well along with my many other problems i've had with this motor (most of which i've overcome thanx to you guys) My lower unit oil is really milky....I know this means waters been getting in the lower unit so i'm going to have to combat that problem...but my question and problem now is how to...
Hello, i previously had trouble starting my 1972 50hp Johnson Hydro-electric shift and i looked in the faq but i'm still not sure what the problem is.... <br /><br />Ok My engine ran fine 2 weeks ago, but one day i started it up and got the over heat horn (Started before motor even started, horn...
Ok i have another post going about my shift problem, which i think i've handled, but now i can't get the motor to turn over at all...<br /><br />I checked the battery its got a full charge (with a multimeter) and everything is connected. The toggle switch for the choke works, and you can see the...
Ok I took my boat to a mechanic and he said the reason the motor won't shift is because one of the two cables that goes to the solonoids is disconnected....So i ran wire down the lower unit and reconnected it, and it shifted fine, then i put it in water, and nothing, so i'm thinking that the...
First off when i go to put the key into the throttle box and turn it to the on position, a very loud siren like horn goes off in the box making a loud whirring sound. WTF is that? what does it mean? This just started after i took the lower unit off to run a new set of wires for the electric...
A while back before formatting my computer i found a site i thought it was this one, that had exploded views of johnson/evinrude engines so that you could see where very cog and gear way throughout the whole lower unit and even the powerhead i believe, does anyone have any idea where that site...
Ok I have a problem with the lower unit on my 50hp johnson (1972) it won't shift. I know its not the shift cable i'm pretty sure its the clutch dog or the gearing in the lower unit, it is just stuck in neutral, won't go into reverse or forward....What i want to know is What years and HP levels...
Being a total noob to the water, i wouldn't want to go 30-40 miles out i'd stick to 5 or less. If i can't see the shore i wouldn't feel safe. I think i'm gonna look for a 19' or a 22' but it'll be awhile i'm gonna have to buy a truck to pull it too, cause i drive a maxima right now and it can...
What is the smallest size and type of boat you can take out on the ocean for a day of fishing safely. I'm pretty new to boating and i currently own an out of commission 15' 50 hp tri-hull. I tried taking it out on the ocean one day and the sea wasn't even choppy but the waves seemed alittle too...
I recently wrote bout my LU problems and i'm at the point where i'll probably just be buying a new LU. Was wondering if anyone here has one that will fit my motor and if so how much do they want for it?
Ok i know this is supposed to be pretty easy, but when i bought the boat it was missing the return spring. So now i have the spring and i figured it would be really easy to put on, but i can't find anywhere to attach the spring too. Anyone have this motor, and know how to put the spring on? I'm...
Ok i have 3 questions actually. I have a 50 hp johnson model number 50esl72c. Just 1 month after i got it (used obviously) i broke a prop and had to drive around with only 2 blades (which i later found out was terrible for the engine). When i replaced the prop with a new one (slightly smaller...
