I picked up this little 1959 10 hp Johnson outboard to rebuild and keep me out of trouble this winter and it left me with a few questions that are better answered before I do things the wrong way.
In the Seloc manual ( yes I know,it is not a factory manual)it states that it produces 10 hp at...
This is for a 9.8 hp little merc that I can get for $175.
The serial is 7196133 which makes it a 1985 ,or so I think.
I would use this as a trolling motor and it would be important for me to be able to hook it up to a remote shift and throttle setup.
Can I do this with this little engine?
Thank...
I have a Michigan propeller on my mercury.After having scrubbed off all the sooth I found it to be a "PM 3 CUP".After having done some cross referencing this turned out to be one of the following: Michigan 031042/3/4.
So now I know that the prop is roughly a 13 inch diameter.The pitch is one out...
I just read through this 2010 language thing and it read like one of the tales of the improbable.
Let's make our own tale of the improbable.Just add your own few lines.

Leafing through Craigs list this afternoon, I came upon an ad for a 1959 10 horse Johnny for 125 smackeroos.So I drove out there to see what's cooking and checked the engine.It has spark and an even 90 pounds in each hole.Not bad says I to myself.I thought about the deal a bit and decided...
This is for a 1984 aluminum sylvan 18 footer outboard transom
I have to replace the transom wood in this boat and I am wondering about how to do this.
The boat has an aluminum outer skin and the wood behind it is very rotten.
I did some reading up on the subject and found some people advising...
the boat I just bought misses the window that sits in the middle and can be opened and closed.
Does anybody know of a website where these parts are for sale?
Thank you for your help.
I just acquired a 1984 4 cylinder 75 horse mercury outboard in beautiful condition.It does however have one problem.
It runs like a dream until I accelerate over just about 3000 rpm,at which point it just totally bogs down.when easing up on the gas it comes right back up 3000 rpm.
Should I tear...
I bought another boat just last week.It is a 1984 18 foot aluminum Sylvan with a 1984 75 horse 4 cylinder mercury.Although I know that this 75 horse takes a 12.5 prop,I do not know what the preferred pitch is using an aluminum prop for this engine.
I would really appreciate it if somebody can...
I just bought a 1984 18 foot Sylvan open bow boat.I would much rather have had a closed bow,but when a $1000 dollars buys an 18 footer with an almost brand new (never used) 75 horse mercury you cannot be too picky.
I do want to cover the bow with some serious canvas because most of my fishing is...
Ok so we went out for salmon out of Rochester onto Lake Ontario.It started out quite foggy but with fish finders full of mature fish at 30 feet in front of the river.After about 40 minutes we hooked into our first fish and after a spirited fight we boarded her.A nice 38 inch fish.
From here on...

Some years ago this was a sticky and then it disappeared.
We may wish to consider to put it up again as a sticky.
It is one of the most complete pieces of information that any Johnnyrude 9.5,9.9 or 15 horse owner could dream of.
Here is the website where I found it back:

After attaching the lower unit of this ancient beast,it will shift fine for a few times but then it will pop out.The reason for this is the shift rod which has a lot of up and down play.After checking a manual,the I came upon a part that is called:"bracket shift shaft hold down"(part # 37824) I...
The only oil I use in the house is extra virgin olive oil.For all my cooking and salads, I baste trout and salmon in olive oil,olive oil even to fry an egg.Only thing is, I never understood that thing with the extra virgin.What's that all about?
We just came back to the dock.I hopped out of the boat,got my car and backed it down the ramp,hopped out and got the boat on the trailer,then got back to the car only to find out that I accidentally locked the car.So here I am standing next to my car which runs with people wanting to launch and...
I finally hooked up my 575 and started using it.
I do have a problem (apart from needing a splash guard) and that is that when the screen is divided in the top half and 2 bottom quarters,what they call "the classic layout",the bottom quarters have no reading whatsoever.It is as if the 200 kHz...
