OK, here is the story. I had (key word here....HAD) a 15 foot bowrider with a 1971 Model Johnson 100hp outboard. I sold the boat a few weeks ago (looking for a pontoon now), the week before I sold the boat my wife and I had the boat on the lake, and it ran fine. The boat has always been very...
I have a 1987 Cimarron bowrider. I can not find anything on these boats. I assume they are no longer being made. I have tried internet searches and come up empty handed everytime. If anyone has any knowledge on these boats, please let me know. i am just curious about it. Follow this link to see...
I have a 1987 Cimmaron bowrider (which by the way, if anyone has any info on these boats I would love to hear it.....I have NEVER seen another Cimarron like mine) anyway, right in front of the engine there is an opening about 20 inches deep and about 36 inches wide, it slopes deeper as it goes...
I have a 1972 model Johnson 100 hp outboard. It has the electric hydro drive switch on the throttle, there is also an electric choke switch on the throttle. I was getting the boat out today and getting it cranked up for the first time this year when i noticed something that I had never seen...
I am still new to this boating thing, only in my 9th month of boat ownership. My question is concerning a drain plug hole in my transom. Not the drain for the hull, but there is a drain plug hole right directly under the engine. When the boat is in the water, this area fills with water. It never...
It will not be long until it will be time to put my boat up for the winter. This is my first boat and I do not know what I need to do to winterize it. It is a 15 foot bowrider with a 1972 model Johnson 100 hp outboard. any ideas will be appreciated. :confused:
Is there any difference in the types of hydrofoils? I have a 15 ft bowrider with 100hp Johnson outboard and my hydrofoil has 45 degree turndowns on both sides. All the ones that I have found on the market now seems to be flat. Is mine just an old design that didn't pan out so they went to the...
I have a 15 foot v hull bowrider with an older 100 hp Johnson outboard (87 model boat, 72 Model engine) I think I may have a prop problem. The boat runs and planes fine -MOST- of the time when it is just my wife and I and our two small children. But when more adults get on the boat it really...
Is it just my wife and I, or do other people find it physical tiring just to go pleasure boating. We have not even tried skiing or boarding yet. Just riding the lake wears us out. Just wondering if anyone else got tired just riding around??
I am new to this whole boating thing so please forgive me for asking so many dumb questions. I have posted a few posts earlier about slow planing and throttle response woes. Now I have another dumb question. When my boat does decide to run good and strong, the nose bounces an awful lot. It seems...
Thanks for answering my question on my post on 6/29/01 (two fold question about a Johnson). I have replaced the throttle linkage cable, and now the throttle is SMOOTH!!!! I still am wondering about the amount of time it takes to plane up out of the water. When the boat is sitting still...
I am new to boating and have just purchased my first boat. It is an 87 Cimmaron 15ft with an older 100 hp Johnson outboard. I have a few questions about it.#1 The motor and the throttle both say "Hydro Electric Drive" on it. What does this mean? #2 The boat does NOT have electric tilt and trim...
