    Where can I find plans for a homemade wood Jon?

    I searched iboats for plans, either I'm not using the right keywords, or there just aren't any. I want to build my own little river-sound boat. I've got a good running older 18hp tiller to put on it. I live on the Neuse, and am 2 hrs from the Coast. I'm a skilled carpenter with tons of tools...

    Any merit to this gadget?? Outboard trolling plate

    It looks like something I could use. I plan to do quite a bit of open water trolling with a 60 hp on a 15 footer. It reportedly flattens out at wot. Comments? Opinions? Thanks, KR

    Is there a quality JE school program available?

    Between this forum, the senior members of this forum, and self education, I've learned enough to know that I don't know enough. Is there a good outboard motor school I can look into? I've built 2 v 8's, and a Jeep I-6 from scratch, and fix whatever gets broke around here. Throwing parts at a...

    Docktalk typo?? 60173C I'm 'fused.

    I guess I bumped my head or s/g. A buddy of mine called me and offered me a 60 hp 'rude for a good price . Sure beats the twin 35 thing I was going to do. Anyway, I am looking up parts for this one, and have run into a snag. Docktalk shows it to be a 1971. I have a Seloc manual for '71-'89 1...

    Is this fixable? Overbite?

    I'm hoping the pics speak for themselves. Is this fixable without separating the hull halves? Previous owner gobbed it full of silicone and canned foam. Not too much problem cleaning that up. I would like to get it pretty close. It's a 77 Mongoose 15' bass boat. The separation goes pretty much...

    Decent control for 2 throttle and 2 shift cables

    I don't know the right buzz words yet. I know what I want do, have found the cables, C33, but am having a hard time finding a controller that will allow 2 cables for throttle, 2 for shift. I've looked at Teleflex Morse, pricey, but can't tell if there is a way to mount two cables per shift...

    Burned, tattered, corroded wiring.

    I have no idea how this little 35 ran at all. '82 35ELCND Grounds were fried into tatters, the 20 amp fused circuit to starter solenoid was fried-fuse intact, choke solenoid circuit smoked, a red lead on the starboard terminal block tattered. a grey wire to the same terminal block was the same...

    What does the wire to the top-left of the top cylinder do?

    '82 35hp 35ELCND. Bought used. Heard it run. It sounded good. I'm cleaning up some burnt and corroded wiring on the motor. Mostly grounds.. There is a small brown wire that is attached to some sort of sensor that is located to the top left of the top cylinder. It goes into a rubber boot. What...

    counter rotating lower for a JE 35??

    Is there such a critter? I've got two 35's, one runs well, one doesn't yet. Rather than spend a big pile of $$ on a 70, why not run both 35's? Ideas, I'm full of em. Not all of em are worth a pinch of salt. How bout this one? Thanks, KR

    Newbie. Dumbest question yet??

    Been wrenching for years. The whole boat thing is a new one to me. I finally got a decent little starter boat. 15' fiberglass tri-hull (Mongoose). 35 hp Johnson. The boat is under motored, but it's a start. I live on the East Coast, and am looking for a long legged approach. I'm going to fish...

    1973 18hp fuel pump-Which will swap?

    HI. I've got a '73 18hp. Model # 18304 http://web.archive.org/web/20020215174850/www.evinrude.com/docktalk/modref/evmodyr/EHP18.html As I went to the parts finder here at Iboat, there is no listing for an 18 kit or full assembly. There is a listing for a carb kit, with or without float, but...

    Good how to book?? Fiberglass.

    I did some structural glass work as a kid, working at a Motorhome plant. I need to go well beyond that now. I've got a doozy to rebuild. (At least is seems that way to me.) Can anyone recommend a good how to book?? Amazon has some decent selections. Any help here is appreciated. Thanks, KR

    That illusive number!!

    :confused: :confused: OK guys, I've read the FAQ's, and quite a few posts on this one and still can't find the doggone model number. I've been to the page that lists year by number and know I'm looking for a 5 digit number that probablly starts with a 35---. I believe it's a mid '70's motor...
