    Silt in the hull from flood ​d​a​m​age, how to remove?

    Re: Silt in the hull from flood ​d​a​m​age, how to remove? Here are some pics from this past week with her on a new (used) trailer. Going back to the flood, the boat was in my yard before it was swept away. Worst part was I was there and couldn't do anything to save it, I never thought I...

    Silt in the hull from flood ​d​a​m​age, how to remove?

    I live in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, and last August Hurricane Irene swept away my 1995 Key West 1900CC Sportsman (and trailer) about a mile downstream on what is usually a tiny creek that you can hop across and not even get wet. Neighbors tell me that in the height of the...

    Water Leak out of Lower Unit?

    Greetings, I have a 1987 Johnson, 90 HP V4. I just got done dropping the lower unit to replace the clutch dog, new seals, and a new water pump kit. That all is done, and she is peeing better than ever. But, when I had her on the muffs, I noticed that she was leaking water out of the seam from...

    Gearcase Help?

    Hello, the past couple of weeks my shifting has been getting wacky in my 1987 Johnson 90 HP V4. It first started with it not shifting into reverse consistently. It would click (loudly) like it was trying to engage, but would not always go into gear. Sometimes it would and then would pop out...

    Shifting Adjustment/Issues

    Greetings, I have a 1987 Johnson 90HP. I need to adjust the shifting, as it clicks (trying to engage) many times before it actually goes into gear. At that point the RPMs are up so it kinda jumps into gear at the same time. This makes docking and fishing in skinny water a challenge. I have...

    Gas Tank Filling Trouble

    Greetings, So my 18? Cobia CC had a replacement under deck fuel tank (17 gallon) put in a couple of years ago. I just bought the boat a month ago so I?m trying to work out some of the bugs. I?m having trouble getting a full tank of gas in the boat. I ran it dry a couple of nights ago and I...

    Very stiff shifting on 1987 90HP Johnson

    Greetings, I just splashed my new (to me) 1987 18' Cobia Saturday. It has a 1987 (I think) Johnson 90HP VRO 4 cylinder outboard. This engine has had the VRO system removed. Anyway the boat ran pretty good, but the one thing that annoyed me was how hard the shifting was. Yesterday I...

    Prop gear problem...

    Greetings, this is all in reference to my 1959 Evinrude 35HP Lark. It's been running fine, but all of a sudden I'm getting a loud band coming from the prop gears. I took them all apart and put them back together and it stopped for a little while but then continued again. The whole boat (14'...
