    'Sup-R Lube' vrs. 'Super Lube'

    I've got a boat trailer that has 'Sup-R Lube' hubs. If I take off the rubber cover I see a zert (zerk?) fitting, but it's not in the center of the spindle. It's offset to the side, but is still accessible to my grease gun. My question is: does this style of hub still get fresh grease to the...

    Waterproof Connectors?

    I need to do a rather odd install on a Lowrance HDS Gen3 fish finder/GPS. Both transducers (standard and skimmer) obviously will be on the transom, but their cables need to go to connectors on the transom, about three feet away. I know I need waterproof connectors for these, but what I don't...

    Test Water Pump ?

    I'm working on a 1996 25hp Johnson outboard that I recently bought. No stream of water coming out the tell tale. The motor ran great on the muffs when I ran the motor before purchasing it. I got it home and finally put it on my boat. Took it to the lake and no tell tale stream. I've just...

    So, I waited until the last minute to change the water pump impeller on my 2001 J10RVLSIC. What should have been a quick job seems to be taking too long, and a few hiccups to boot. This is a long shaft model, if that matters. I got the six bolts that hold the gear case to the exhaust housing...

    Water .... some times yes, some times not

    So, I've got a 2001 Johnson 9.9, model J10RVLSIC, that is being contrary. Sometimes it'll put water out the tell-tale, and sometimes not. More specifically, I get no water out the tell-tale when the motor is in the water, but I do when on the muffs. Water pressure on the muffs is just a trickle...

    Difference between 'Commercial' and 'non-commercial'

    I'm looking at purchasing a 1994 55hp Johnson outboard that the owner says is a 'commercial' model. He says the model number is J55RWLERE. What is the difference between commercial and non-commercial? Are parts more difficult to find for commercial motors? Apparently he has added electric...

    1989 Yamaha 15LF head gasket

    OK - newbie here! I searched this forum for advice, and I'm getting conflicting info. I'm chasing down a cooling problem with this 1989 Yamaha 15LF. No water stream when I start it up. Starts great!, just no tell tale water. First question - shouldn't the stream appear within a few seconds...
