    115 Loss of RPM & Surging at WOT

    Hi all, I have a 1996 Johnson 115 (J115SLEDR) that was running great at the beginning of the season. A couple days ago it began to run pretty poorly, only hitting about 5000 RPM at WOT and surging, almost like it was starving for fuel. The boat normally runs at close to 6000 RPM at WOT. I have...

    Part Identification

    Hi all, I have a 1996 Johnson 115 J115SLEDR. I'm having trouble identifying the part I need to order. There is a plastic roller that goes on the throttle, which unfortunately my boat is missing.

It trims and tilts fine when in neutral. Weirdly enough it will trim up under power when using the switch...

    Bilge Pump Wiring

    Hi all, I am wiring a new automatic bilge pump into my 96 FourWinns Horizon. I understand the basic layout of the wiring. My question is, I bought a 3-way switch that already has a 10-amp fuse installed in it. Do I still need to put a fuse going back to the battery with the 10-amp fuse present...
