    Tach wiring 77 Johnson 115

    I have done a search of archives and found numerous tach wiring posts but I still cant get my tach working. I have the wire from the S terminal on Tach to the gray wire in the Control Box that goes back to the engine through the wiring harness. The other posts I read said to connect the I...

    This boat has one new coil with the high tension lead sold separately. The other 3 coils are the internally wired high tension leads. I replaced the lead and now I have no spark at that cylinder. Is it possible to open up the coil to connect the lead better? It just appears to stick into a...

    The original dash holding the instrument gauges has warped and faded and needs to be replaced. What does everyone suggest as a replacement material. I've read some posts about plexiglass but think I will have a hard time with the hole saw cutting out for the gauges. I'd like something pretty...

    What do I do now?

    77 Johnson 115HP<br />I dont believe that my water pump is pumping. I replaced the pump after I bought it from previous owner - 1 month ago. Running on muffs, the water doesnt seem to be getting to t-stat area and cylinders are hot to touch. I havent taken it to the lake and the hot horn...

    TNT 77 Johnson 115

    My trim works fine in the up mode but stops and then immediately begins to go back down as soon as the switch is released. Its my understanding that the trim cylinders give way to the tilt cylinder and the tilt cylinders take it the rest of the way up. I'm not leaking any fluid and the system...

    Does my Johnson have a pee hole?

    Wow that subject line came out funny. I have a 1977 115HP Johnson. I have changed the water pump and it is now running. How do I tell if the pump is operating correctly? I have the unit running on muffs but I dont know if it has a tell tale or pee hole. I ran it for 5 minutes and no warning...

    Flames out lower unit 77 Johnson 115

    After rebuilding the water pump on my 77 Johnson 115 (115ETL77), I made an attempt to start the engine with the muffs attached. It cranked well and would pop once and then starter disengaged. My son was on fire watch and noticed a blue flame in the lower unit when it popped. We tried it...

    Thermostat 1977 115 Johnson

    I'm having trouble finding a Vernatherm thermostat for my 1977 115HP Johnson. When I look up this part in the online manuals (Sierra and US boat)I keep finding a thermostat # 403 which looks more like a car thermostat - the Vernatherm just a piece of plastic on a spring. Does anyone have or...

    Overheat horn on 77 johnson 115

    On my first trip out with my boat, it fired up great and idled fine and performed perfect. I idled out past the no wake zone and then hit it hard for about 5 minutes. I came back to the dock to pick up the wife and before we got out of the no wake zone the hot horn started blaring. I brought...

    starter on 77 johnson 115hp outboard

    I tried to start this boat (just bought it) and the starter barely turns the motor over. I have a full charge on the battery, have cleaned the terminals and posts and even tried jump starting. The motor barely turns over and after 2-3 cranks it just clicks. I wait a few and it does the same...
