    I have a 1998 Yamaha 9.9 short shaft tiller i use for a kicker. I'd like to be able to use it to charge my electronics battery while i'm trolling as this motor runs 99% of the time while fishing. It has two wires dangling on the tiller side of the motor. Can I just add a Rectifier there and then...

    79 merc 120

    I'm trying to hook up a buddys motor. It's a 79 Merc I/O 120. When they removed it they just unhooked all the wiring and didn't make any notes and now they've forgoten what goes where. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for one of these motors? I'm figuring the positive cable goes to the big...

    Water sparator

    I'm in the process of installing a water separator for my 93 Johnson 90 hp two stroke. I'm putting it before the primer bulb near the back. I noticed that there are two sizes of filters though. Do I need the bigger one for my motor size or it doesn't matter? Also I have two primer bulbs in my...

In the first pic you can see what I believe to be the pulse hose connector? http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o316/sterios/vro3-1.jpg In the next pic I have this electrical connector with four...

    What makes it return to idle?

    I have a johnson 90 1993 and even after I put the control lever into neutral the motor won't go into idle. Is there a return spring on the throtle linkage that may have broken? Is it the force of the cable returning to the trunion end that pulls the linkage back into idle? When I goose the carbs...

    90 HP won't idle down

    My 1993 Johnson 90 hp won't idle down when you click it back into neutral. Heading in today and almost rammed the dock when I tried to throtle down to idle. Had to turn off key to stop motor. The throtle felt stiff like it was binding so I checked it out and all is well now. The motor still...

    90 Johnson very smoky

    I have a 93 Johnson 90 that has the VRO missing so I carefully mix my gas and oil 50:1. After it warms up and I zip out to my fishing area I shut it off for several hours and just use my kicker. When I fire up the Johnson it smokes real bad. Is there something I can check in the carbs to fix...

    Upgrading springs

    I have a 17 foot deep V Tracker aluminum bow rider with a Johnson 90 hp. I was going camping recently and had a blow out on a bumpy stretch of highway. After getting home I removed the fenders and I saw that there was a metal brace that acts as a support for the fender and a step. It's ends...

    Fuel measuring stick?

    I'm looking for a stick with measurments on the side I can use to test the level of feul in my tank. My gas gauge is iffy at best and i'd like to be able to know how much feul I have left. I've tried looking down into the under floor mounted tank and it's hard to judge. I'm hoping someone...

    Kicker tank for big motor

    I just bought two tanks for my yamaha 9.9 kicker. I changed the fitting on both tanks to Johnson/Evinrude fittings and replaced the one on the hose of the Yamaha to a johnson as well. What I'm wondering is if I run out of gas in my main tank that is mixed at 50:1 and I use my extra hose to run...

    towing a small aluminum boat

    I'd like to be able to tow a 12 foot aluminum behind my 17 foot aluminum bow rider when we do lake camping. It's going to be my water trailer for all the crap we bring with us when we do week long fishing trips. I was wondering what kind of eye ring or what not I'd need for this? Can I just...

    I have a 1993 Johnson 90 hp that has had the VRO removed. I've been mixing the oil and gas now. The guy I bought it off of gave me the oil tank and lines he had removed. I have a manual for this motor but it's not clear how i'd go about hooking everything back up again. The last owner had it...

    Volt meter

    I just hooked up my in dash volt meter on my 93 Tracker 17 footer deep V. It's working and showing about 12 volts with the motor off. What I'm wondering is this going to drain the battery on it's own? If I leave it sitting for a few weeks and it's registering the battery voltage will that alone...

    I tried to use that can of Tune-up you atatch to the Solenoid today and it just came out the bottom of the solenoid all over the motor. I took a look and I see that there are two hoses that go to the tops of both carb areas. These hoses aren't connected to the bottom of the solenoid where there...

    90 hp Johnson Impeller

    I'd like to replace my impellor on my 1993 Johnson 90 hp 2 stroke. I see in the manual that you have to remove the lower unit and I was wondering how the main shaft comes out? Does it just slip out when you lower the unit? When I'm putting it back in do I just raise into place and sping the prop...

    No reverse

    I have a Johnson 90 1993. I was installing a depth finder and had to losen up the area where the controls are. I in no way touched any of the cables in there or any wiring other then to run my own wiring for the depth finder through there just like the old one I removed. I put everything back...

    Winterizing through solenoid?

    I have a 93 Johnson 90 hp two stroke. I bought a can of tune up and a can of fogging oil. Both cans suggest you use the valve at the solenoid. Do I just screw on the hose at that valve above the solenoid and fire up the motor and press the button on the can and it does it's stuff?? Do I need to...

    Going to 21 from 19 pitch?

    I have a 90 hp Johnson on my 17 foot bowrider aluminum. A buddy is telling me to get a 21 pitch prop instead of the 19 I got on there but he can't tell me why he thinks it's a good idea. What would this change in pitch do for me? Gotta love buddies who talk out of their as...
