    Cracked Hull???

    I am very new to the boating world and I am looking at a 23? seacraft ( not sure of year yet). I went down to see the boat and noticed a few small cracks in the hull on the right side of the boat. They don?t appear to be holes or go all the way through the hull. How much do I need to worry...

    Loss of Power??

    I have a 1968 20HP Johnson on a 13? inflatable. I took the Boat out the other day and it started out great, got right up on plane and all was well. About 10min in the engine sounded the same but the boat just slowed down and wouldn?t get back up to speed. At one point it started to speed up...

    Water Spraying from behind my boat????

    I have a 13ft. inflatable with a old 20hp outboard. My problem is when I start to gain speed a spray of water comes up from behind the transom; the faster I go the more the water sprays. The water will come over the transom and into the boat. I took a look and it seems that the water is...

    Bunk Modification?????

    I am using a trailer for my 13 foot inflatable. My problem is that when I put a fully boat fully loaded on the bunks it will sometimes rub on the wheel wells. Is there a quick and easy way to add height to the bunks so this will not occur?

    Motor Flush for Old Johnson

    I am hearing that there was a motor flush that was made for the old Johnson outboards. Is this true? If so where can I find one so I don?t need to put the motor in a barrel of water every time I want to flush/run it at my house. I have a 1968 Johnson 20hp Model # FD-22M

    Automatic tiller shut off on a 1968 Johnson 20hp

    Hey everyone I have a 1968 johnson 20hp I guess they have a "automatic" shut off when you turn the tiller all the way down (towards slow). Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Thanks in advance

    What Prop do I use

    Hey everyone I have a 1968 johnson 20 hp outboard and I have no idea what kind of prop I should use. The motor is on a 13ft inflatable that will be used for diving so the load could be somewhat heavy when going for a dive (4 guys plus gear). Thanks in advance

    fabric showing on the hull!

    I just got an inflatable and after I got it home I noticed that there is some rubber that pealed off the hull and the fabric is showing through. I went to west marine and got a can of the liquid rubber to paint on the hull. Will this fix my issue or should I be worried about anything else as a...

    Parts to keep onboard?

    Hey just looking for some suggestions on what parts I should keep handy on the boat for my 68 Johnson 20hp. Things like extra plugs, that kind of stuff, things I would most commonly need to replace on the water so the day will not be ruined if anything happens? Thanks in advance

    Compression Question...

    I am going to be buying a 1968 Johnson 20hp outboard. I just looked at it, seemed to run fine and idled fine as well. The only thing I am worried about at this point is the compression. It was 120/115. Is this something that i should be worried about? Or is that normal? Just for some background...
