I have always used Johnson Motor Oil in my 1989 Johnson 150 GT. I used the Johnson Evinrude xd 30. Now Academy doesnt sell it anymore. Instead they sell Evinrude Johnson 2 Stroke Premium Marine Huile 2 temps Prime De Marine. Is this the same and can use it in my motor. The sales people at...
I took my boat to the shop because it is hard to start, but I can get it started. When initially making a hole shot, it doesn't come out of the hole but if I put it in neutral and rev it up I can wait for the RPMs to come down, shift into forward and it comes out of the hole and soon I'm running...
I had previously worked on this issue back in end of May but due to work constraints had to back off.
I have a 1990 Johnson 150 GT on a 19' Nitro. I have having 3 issues. Starting : When trying to start it after backing boat down boat ramp, it doesn't start. I pump bulb, tilt motor down and...
I really need some guidance on my issue. Bought a 1989 Nitro 19' with a 1990 150 Johnson GT. The motor bogs down on hole shot and will not plane up. Originally had a 4 blade shooter prop 25" pitch and replaced with a 3 blade prop with a 21" pitch. The boat also has a jack plate which is fixed...
I was advised on good authority that my 4 blade Stainless Steel Prop on my 150 GT Pro Series Johnson motor is to much prop for my boat ( 19.2 ' Nitro ). I haven't owned the boat that long but have taken it on the lake once. It seems that it takes longer than I would have expected to plane up out...
I recently purchased a 1990 Nitro with a 1989 Johnson and it has 3 tilt trim switches. One in the front, one on the shift arm and one on the motor. The tilt trim switch on the throttle arm does not work up or down. The other 2 work.
how could I test switch on the throttle arm and does all 3...
This old motor has given me great service for many years. Unfortunately it sat up for the last year and I cannot get it to start. When I try to start it, it starts and runs for a few seconds and dies. I've tried raping up the rpms when it starts but it still dies. I have put a new starting...
Took a potential buyer for my boat for a test run before he bought it. He backed the boat down I came off the trailer started the motor and the STEERING CABLE was froze and in a 20 mile an hour wind, I sailed to the other side of the lake. He didnt buy the boat.
Help - I have taken the arm off...
The motor starts up ok. When I push the handle into Forward the motor starts to thump several times until I get the speed up. After that point the thumping noise never comes back. It only happens when I go from neutral to Forward.
I would like to get a couple opinions before I take it to a boat...
I'm having problems with starting my 1980 70 HP motor. It will eventually start but then it does not idle correctly. After I fight these problems a while I can get the motor to open up and it will run Ok. Can anyone give me a place to start so I can see if I can fix it ?
Thanks,

I'm having a steering problem on my 1978 V178 Ranger with 79 115 Johnson. I have lubed the grease inserts. When I raise the engine, the arm on the right side is getting in a bind and is slipping up and down from the nut that holds it to the engine, The nut seems to be a backwards configuration...
My oil reservoir has gone out. What must I do to bypass the oil reservoir and mix the oil directly in the gas tank. I need to know what to do with the 2 lines running from the reservoir to the motor. Also is there any other changes I must make.

I have a 1994 Pro Craft with a 135 Mercury oil injection. Some thief stole my oil reserve tank and cut the lines to do it. They even cut the line to my graph transducer. I have looked on the WEB and I can't find any place that I can replace it from. Can anyone recommend a company I can purchase...
I think I have a problem. Motor starts good, shifts ok but when I shower down to plane up the continuous alarm starts immediately. Pee hole is active and oil is full.
I'm not trying and won't attempt to fix this big monster but I would like to have a couple of ideals what it could be before I...
