    E-tec 40 hp

    Roll on truck bed liner. It’s tough stuff and UV resistance is great.

    Lapping flywheel

    A little less compound would be helpful imo. Also I once saw a guy coat the crank with a marker and rotated the flywheel on the shaft to check for wear points. I have never done it personally but it looked like it was a good way to check the fit.

    $250 Boat in my possession!!

    I used a product called SeaCast to rebuild a transom once. Its a great product. My transom was so rotten I didn’t even have to cut the glass on the inside or out. I was able to dig out all the rot it was so far gone. It is very important to get ever last chunk of wood out if you go this route.

    Johnson 55 hp electric start conversion.

    Agreed. That’s all I did on an 02 40hp. I charge the battery at the start of summer and keep it topped off with a solar charger. It lasts all season with not problems.

    Boat with engine ($500 update)

    Sounds like an interesting and kool job. I still have a 1990 Toyota 4Runner that has a perfect frame and still has stickers on it in some places. Only one spec of rust on the body and it won’t be there much longer. I have also had an 05 Tocoma and an 06 Tundra. Both were in perfect condition...

    JOHNSON 55 HP TILT PIN QUESTION

    I’m not sure why you would need a tilt pin if you have tilt assist. If you need to change your pitch you can move the bottom pin of the tilt assist cylinder to the appropriate whole.

    Boat with engine ($500 update)

    If it’s not about the money offer to haul it away. If that don’t bite it wasn’t meant to be. Best

    Johnson 70 HP alternative for part for Lever to Link Guide - 0336456

    I was going to suggest this. Well done. For those that don’t have access to a 3d printer check with your local high school. They sometimes find stuff like this as an interesting project for the class room.

    Shift rods out of alignment?

    Sorry but I have to ask. It sounds like your lining up right but just to be sure you are lining it up so the bolt goes through the detent in the shift rod correct? And is the top lined up correctly as well?

    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    Agreed just didn’t want to be the one to say it. I would think to weight will throw things off balance. I have never had a jon boat so don’t know for sure. Maybe 2 or 3 hp would be fine. Best

    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    I had a 72 6hp that was unstoppable. It even went for a swim once. It was only under for a minute as I went in after it and I think we reached the bottom at the same time. A good fresh water rinse and a carb clean an she was running as usual. I had for another 5 years after that before...

    1993 Evinrude 60hp

    Are you certain it’s gear oil and not unburned fuel and oil from a cylinder that’s cutting out? Just a thought

    1968 33 HP Evinrude.

    When I was a kid I took marine mechanics at a vocational school. We often took in motors that were taken apart by their owners and were dropped off in box’s. It’s was a nightmare but at the same time we learned a lot.

    1975 Johnson 25hp compatibility

    Agreed again. I missed that part and it would be worth pulling the trigger.

    1975 Johnson 25hp compatibility

    Agreed you should check to see if your prop is slipping before pulling the trigger on a lower. You can mark the prop and the hub and take her for a spin if your marks are no longer aligned you know you have a spun hub.

    1966 Jonhson 9.5 rust around exhaust cover

    Any chance there was a mouse nest there or something else that looked like it could have been corrosive?

    BRP Engine Tuner ?

    Or even in neutral for that matter. Things can go wrong at high rpm’s with no load. Use common sense here. Wait until your on the lake to open er up.
