    1971 Johnson 25hp Outboard - 25R71S

    Motor mounts worn on 72 25hp Johnson

    Well almost done “restoring” a 72’ 25hp Johnson. The motor was a parts motor I picked up but decided it deserved a chance because it looked so clean and runs great.

    Shift rod adjustment Q-1972 25hp Johnson

    Just replaced the impeller on my 72 Johnson 25hp. After reinstalling the lower unit, I noticed the shift rod was not engaging correctly. It never shifted “correctly” since I purchased it. It shifts, but neutral doesn’t line up correctly with shift handle/setting. Is the only shift adjustment at...

    Evinrude decals

    Try eBay “vintage marine decals”. He’s a nice guy and does custom decals for a very reasonable price and fast shipping. He did several custom decals for my Johnson outboards and they turned out great.
