Hi all...again. I'm still looking for a new motor for my boat, it looks sad sitting there all naked. I am going to look at a 1996 48 Special soon but I had another guy email me with a 1992 rebuilt Johnson 40. He said it runs great except its noisy because the guy who rebuilt it forgot to put oil...
Hi all, I recently posted on the internet looking for a 30-50 HP motor for my flats jon. Someone has replied to my post and they have a 96' Evinrude 48 Special. Is it also known as a Stinger? It comes with a CMC tilt/trim control, remote controls and cables for the motor and a 6 gallon tank...
Hello,
I just purchased a 71' Johnson 4 HP today. I knew when I bought it that it needed work but it's all original and I mainly bought it to put back together (as it's in many pieces) and learn how motors are built and how they work. It only cost me $55 so I figured it was a good deal for...
I just want to thank everyone for all there helpful advice in the last few weeks that I have posted on this forum. I have(had) a 1989 Suzuki DT65 that I bought a few weeks ago. I had a problem with the engine last weekend so I took it in to get the carburetors removed, inspected and cleaned. The...
I have an 89' DT65 that had some problems this weekend. The motor started fine but idled a little rough in neutral. Then when I put it in forward, it would push around with just a little throttle but when I increased the throttle it would bog down and if I didn't come back off of the throttle it...
Hey, I have a Suzuki DT65 and I started it today before taking it out before weekend. I noticed (besides how rich it was running) that there was water coming out around the lower unit seal. I have a good stream from the "pee" hole and from the exhaust port. Is water coming around the seal...
I just bought a 16' jon boat with a ridiculously heavy and powerful 65 HP motor. I bought it to go to the "flats" off of Aripeka, Crystal River, Mosquito Lagoon etc. BUT right now it's a little to heavy in the stern to risk going in 1' of water. Where could I go to catch...
So I am new to boating and the forum and while I was at Wal-mart getting a few things I needed to take my new (to me) boat out in the morning I saw a few of those orange watertight boxes. I usually keep my gun cleaning supplies in one and ammo in another but now I need another one for my...
Hi, I just bought an old 84' Fisher 16 foot jon boat. It has a Suzuki DT65 on it and it's way to much motor for this smallish boat. It has tilt/trim and single cable steering. I haven't had it in the water yet as I am getting the transom repaired because the motor is so heavy it cracked the...
Hi everyone.
I am new to boating and I just bought a 1984 Fisher 16' jon boat. I believe its a marsh-hawk but I am not 100% sure because the previous owner painted it in camo. I made a big mistake and didn't check the transom out that well before I bought it...guess I was too excited about...
