    87 Johnson 30

    Tilting it is fine....and I'm 60. The problem is I have a helm in the front and I beach it a lot. Running back tripping over everything as I approach the beach is getting quite old. What a tiny tach?

    87 Johnson 30

    Hi, 2 questions. I have a 87 Johnson 30hp short with electric start remote engine. 1st q.....trim and tilt seems to be non-existent for that motor, anyone have a line on a decent cmc used one? Also, stock tach seems to be tough to find as well. Anyone know of a cheap auto one that I can use just...

    78 Johnson 115 Running Great! But Bow of Boat is "Plowing"?

    Depends on water as well.....rough, bow down, flat nose up. Play around with the trim until you get comfortable. When the weather is calm, I start with the nose down....I punch it and as it planes I start being the nose up. At that point I listen for the outboard to slightly cavitate and then...

    Winterize evinrude 50

    I live in Seattle and after lowering it and draining it I lift it up. Like crosby says make sure the drain hole is open so it doesn't hold water. You can ask other boaters in your area but I wouldn't want my motor wrapped in snow. Also you can make or buy a motor cover and rest easy. Make sure...

    Both lower units are the same part number so you should be good.....this assumes they are both the same shaft length.

    Lower unit oil -- water or not?

    Put some blue stuff back in. I used some lubermatic stuff once with similar colors. After draining it, the dealer and I determined that it wasn't water and the oil itself had separated. Not sure if that is what happened to you but trying your blue stuff would confirm either way. What brand did...

    E6RENM Troubleshooting

    Trueing up the head and installing a new head gasket is WAY less work than an entire teardown, sooo... easily worth the time and effort. Watch the start of this video to see how easy it is....there's many videos online.

    25HP Idles Low in Neutral

    This is the nutruel lockout mechanism. There is an adjustable rubber stop tied into it. Does this motor run fine on a boat, in gear in the water?

    Starter does not engage. (Need Advice)

    You want to test voltage at individual spots to properly test what might be wrong. Your looking for 12.6 volts or so so start at the battery and work your way around here is a short video of what I mean.

    1996 25 HP 3 cylinder

    Cool, thanks for the reply. $300 for a power pack is basically the average so nothing there to note. I think it might be a better troller than my 87 30hp but we will see.
