    Help!! Lower unit gone?

    93 Johnson 150 GLETR I hit the throttle, she got up on plane, I started trimming up and then something gave. The RPM's jumped and it just stopped. Engine continued running fine but I shut it down quickly. Shifted to neutral, restarted, put it in gear....and nothing. I have no forward or...

    bass boat setup

    This forum has been a great resource for getting my motor running very well...now I am looking for some feedback on setup. I'm not getting the rpm's I would like and want to get the ideal engine height before swapping props since I seem to be way low based on other setups. 1993 Dynatrak 181...

    bump in reverse

    I am hoping this is not a problem, but rather a normal occurence... When I launch my boat (93 150 Johnson FS) and shift into reverse, I get a very dull thud from my outboard...usually just one or two thuds a couple of seconds apart. It is not hitting anything and only seems to do this in the...

    adjust carbs 150

    My 93 150 Johnson GLETR is running great after preventative maint and a few adjustments. It sat for 1.5 years before I got it but spark, compression, fuel, vro, lines, etc are all good now. I was reading through the service manual about the carbs just to familiarize myself and the carb...

    serice vro tank

    I need to take the vro tank out of my boat to do some work. I don't intend to take anything apart, just remove the tank briefly to replace the wood shelf it sits on. I can do this without disconnecting anything (just sit the whole thing to the side), but would like to drain the oil from it and...

    carb clean vs rebuild

    Title may be a bit misleading but basically what I am asking is if it is possible to clean a carb without a rebuild kit for reassembly. Most of the posts and top secret file address rebuilding and I know LTU won't get in all the jets, bowls, etc. I did decarb already. Sprayed in spark plug...

    spark plug discrepancy

    '93 Johnson 150 GLETR The service manual calls for Champion QL77JC4 but I have also seen that QL78YC should now be used. Apparently this was updated and applies to 94 and up motors, so I should stay with the 77's since I have a 93? However a few plug charts I have seen have the 78's listed...

    Help diagnose alarm and stall - '93 150 Johnson

    '93 150 Johnson 150 GLETR Had this boat for about a month now and everything has been pretty solid. Been out 4 times with only one issue. When I first had it out it stalled at WOT. At WOT, boat would stall, surge, stall, surge before finally coming to rest. No alarms. Pumped some old gas...

    tilt and trim reservoir cap

    93 Johnson 150.... The cap on the trim reservoir is plastic with a slot, seems to be a pretty soft plastic. The slot has worn down from previous owner which makes it a bit fragile when trying to check/add fluid. I've been just using rubber gloves to get it as tight as possible by hand and...

    93 Johnson Fast Strike 150 - Basics

    I just picked up a 93 Fast Strike 150 and have the OEM manual ordered and on the way. I checked it over, ran it on muffs, and put it in the water for a quick test and it appears to be rock solid. I do want to do a few preventative/basic items on the motor in the next day or two and do not yet...
