    Bimini Top

    The other half wants to fish a bit more this year so I've decided to try and install a top. I have a 15ft gregor, tiller with a bowmount. Anybody have some suggestions on manufacturer, price and how cumbersome it will be to move around and fish with one on the boat? I also have a pedestal...

    Powerdrive issues?

    I bought a used unit about 3 years ago(was a year old apparently) and since the beginning, turning is loud. I guess it's hard to explain but you can hear the turn part of the motor, it's very loud. It's not a grinding sound, like the motor is struggling. I don't know anyone else with the same...

    kicker mounting

    I want to mount a kicker bracket for my boat, the motor will be a 7.5 2 stroke. I have a 20hp 2 stroke right now. Apparently the owner before the guy I bought the boat from had both motors mounted side by side which I have tried and it limits the steering way too much. Anyway, it's a 15 foot...

    shift control rod and lever

    Since I found out the parts match up on both motors, I need to replace the rod and lever on my good motor. The original repair manual doesn't really talk about how to do it. Anybody ever done this? Is there a better resource than the manual? Going to start by trying to pull the good one out...

    differences between 68 and 69

    I have a 68 and 69 20hp and was wondering if the shifter control rod assembly of the 69 will swap over to the 68. The handle is exactly the same. Model for 68 is FD22A but it'll be a couple hours till i can post the other model #. The carbs don't match, but that was an easy test.

    HP and Length

    I have a 1970 15ft gregor with a 20horse. Never really paid much attention to short/long shaft before but realized my transom is 15.5" and I believe my motor is a long shaft, 18"? Would a few inches make much difference? My other question is, I am trying to fix my current motor but I have an...

    1968 20 horse Johnson problem

    Okay, on my last fishing trip last year my motor just wouldn't go any faster than an electric motor. I was having an issue shifting betwen neutral and forward before it happened. I got it home and realized that the shift lever had broken. I went to a mechanic and he said you have to pull the...

    pull rope length

    Hey guys, just bought a 69 johnson 20horse but the guy had problems with the rope. It broke once, he took it to a mech and they put one on, that one broke, then another and that broke. He said it wasn't catching at all and thought it might be too long so I'm looking to get a pull rope and I'm...

    Gas/Oil mixture

    I recently bought a boat with a 68' Johnson 20horse. It starts up fine but man does it smoke! I ran it for about 10 minutes at idle, smoke didn't clear up any and it gets pretty bad when I give it gas. I was given the gas can with fuel left in it so I was hoping to start with fresh gas and...

    Where to find a fuel pump

    I just bought a 68 johnson 20hp, found that the plastic black piece on the side of the fuel pump is cracked, spraying fuel out when pumped to start. I also bought a 80's evinrude 7.5, the parts look indentical. Do you have to buy the entire fuel pump to replace the plastic piece? If so, where...

    Battery Toast?

    I've been moving for the past few weeks so the boat hasn't ran for awhile. It's a 470 mercruiser. Went to clean her up to take her out this morning and the battery was dead. I tried using one of those portable jump starters and that didn't work. Jumped it with my diesel and it took about 15...
