    Mid 80s - Early 90s 50hp Evinrude

    I am going to go look at a mid 80s/early 90s 50hp Evinrude outboard. (hopefully I will have an exact model number later today) Are there any years I should avoid or specific issues I should be wary of? I know to check compression and make sure cylinders are +/- 10% of each other, but is there a...

    Flywheel Key - '71 60HP

    I have a 71 Johnson 60hp that I am getting running. I've got spark and in the rush to hear it do something I sprayed some gas in the carbs while cranking it. Long story short, I had forgotten to torque down the flywheel and sheared the flywheel key. Is this something I can pick up at the local...

    Prop Slippage? Cavitation? Ventilation?

    I posted a question last fall about my prop losing grip when I power up, rather than reopen and old post, I started a new. Here is the old one if you want to read it: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=274679 I finally got a trailer this spring and pulled the boat out. Over the 4th of...

    Splash/Water over front

    I have a 24ft pontoon with a 28hp Johnson on it. We had it out last week and with 7 or 8 adults on it I had a lot of splash/water coming over the front. We tried moving around but it didnt help much. Some of it was a choppy lake. Im thinking a larger engine would help by getting the front up...

    Transducer Location - Not Low Enough?

    I finally got my pontoon up to the fabricator and he made and welded a bracket onto my pontoon for mounting my transducer. I got it home and mounted it up and noticed that it does not extend below the pontoon. Is this going to be a problem? If it stops raining I'll post a picture.

    Oil From Lower Unit

    I noticed a little oil seeping from the upper hole of my lower unit. The motor was sitting in the hot sun so I'm thinking it heated up and seeped out. Should I replace the seal?

    Reliable Sure Lube Axle

    I have a Reliable Sure Lube axle on my new pontoon trailer. The trailer manual doesnt address anything about the axle. How does it work? How often/much grease do I add? As I add new does the old come out somewhere?

    Lug Nut Torque

    I have a 2009 Hoosier pontoon trailer. I cannot find a spec for lug nut torque. The manual says to check to make sure they are tight, but does not give a spec. What would be a safe spec to use?

    Amplifier Output Voltage

    Does anyone happen to know what the amplifier output voltage should be for a 1971 60hp Johnson? I'm talking about the voltage on the wire that runs from the amp to the coil when the amp fires.

    71 60hp Compatible with 72 50hp

    I have been trying to get a 71 60hp running. I have run across a 72 50hp that supposedly runs. My 71 has the hydro-electric shift with the toggle switch. The 72 has the push button switches for F-N-R. Is the 72 also hydro-electric and would my 71 controls work with the 73? Are the lower units...

    Checking Stator

    As I'm working on getting my 71 60hp Johnson running, I am checking the electrical components to make sure I don't fry anything when I get it running again. I have a factory manual and did the check on the stator. The manual says I should have a reading of .75 +/- .2 ohms when I connect an...

    1977 24' Sylvan Pontoon Resto

    I have finally gotten started on the "resto" project on our 1977 Sylvan pontoon boat. We bought it last fall, but did not have a trailer to get it home. Got a trailer this past spring and finally got a chance to get her home. The toon had no furniture on it and the fencing was an ugly "shag...

    Steering Set-up

    I wasn't sure where this really belonged, but since they are Johnson motors I put it here. I have a pontoon with a 1996 28hp Johnson on it currently. I have purchased a 1971 60hp Johnson as an upgrade. The 28hp has the steering through a steering tube on the transom mount. The 60hp does not...

    Pontoon Trailer - Sitting Right?

    Wasn't sure whether this belonged in the trailer forum or the pontoon forum, but here it is: I bought a trailer for our pontoon earlier this year and last night finally got the chance to take it out to the lake and load up the toon. The marina set up the trailer based on the measurements I gave...

    What Causes An Amp To Blow

    It is starting to look like I have a blown amp on my 71 60hp Johnson. I still have to check the points, but I have no "glow" when I did the test that Joe Reeves suggested using a test light. I put a voltmeter on it and also get no voltage while cranking so either it's the amp or bad points, but...

    Lubing During Diagnosing

    I am working on getting my 71 motor running. I am working on fixing a no spark problem and have been cranking the motor without any fuel/oil going into it. What can I use to lubricate the cylinders until I get her running?

    Electrical Component Explanation

    Is there a FAQ here anywhere that explains the various electrical components and their purpose? I was thinking things like amplifier, clipping circuit, blocking diode, rectfier, stator, etc.
