    Johnson 150hp 1999 J150PXEES

    Ok, finally got another gauge and yes I had a bad gauge. All cylinders tested between 88 and 90 psi. Which according to the motor spec should be correct.

    Ok, did my compression test tonight. I am getting 68 - 72 psi. This is after about a 5-8 minute idle.

    Johnson 150hp 1999 J150PXEES

    In his defense, I brought the boat in to have the steering cables replaced since they were bad when I bought it. It was a bit of a project boat. He noticed the prop was a bit chewed up and he asked what RPM I was getting and I told him only 3800. He had the 19 put it on and asked me to tell...

    Johnson 150hp 1999 J150PXEES

    Since I have had the boat it has not reached the correct RPM. I had some steering repairs done and the mechanic put this 21 pitch prop on because I was only getting 3800 rpm when I bought it. I can get a new impeller put in. It seems that I am getting a good stream of water. I am mixing at...

    Johnson 150hp 1999 J150PXEES

    I have a boat and it does not seem to have the correct prop on it. I am only running 4200rpm and this is going with the wind. The boat is a 22' Bay Stealth center console. I think I should be running around 5000-5200 rpm. If I troll around at 4 mph it has gotten the engine hot a time or two...

    2001 Vip Bay Stealth 2180 with 150 Johnson

    As an update. I did find the drain channel that goes from the front of the boat to the back. However, I am not sure if this a good place to put a power cable. Any suggestions if this is a good idea or how you would suggest doing it safely? My first thought was to use some 14/2 direct burial...

    2001 Vip Bay Stealth 2180 with 150 Johnson

    I was going to install a 3 bank on board charging system. However, after purchasing and beginning the install I was not able to locate a channel to get the wires from the front trolling motor area to the back starting battery area. Anyone know how I can fish them through from front to back?

    1985 Evinrude 90 HP

    A while back I posted a question about my 1985 Evinrude motor. The first question asked back was compression. It was then that I realized I probably should have a professional look at this for me. However, not many shops want to look at these old carburated motors. A shop came highly...

    1985 Evinrude 90 HP Running Rough

    I am new to boats and needing help. I bought a boat that had been sitting a while. The guy I had bought it from had put many new parts on the engine and got it running. However, when you start the engine and warm it up and get the choke turned off it seems to idle fairly well. When you put...
