    hurricane katrina disaster,need advice

    My 28ft pontoon was in a wet slip at a local marina, in Bay St. Louis, MS. This is where the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed. I'm sure ya'll have seen the devastation caused by this storm so there's no need to go into that. This is my problem.<br /><br />The owner of the marina allowed boats to...

    Considering powering DOWN!!

    I have a '94 150 Johnson, with about 100 hours since powerhead and carb rebuild. This is on a 28'pontoon boat. I run at about 3000rpm and even at that speed it burns fuel like crazy. 10 gals on a 45 minute run. Would I be better off powering down, maybe to a 90hp? I realize I would have to turn...

    Terrible fuel comsumption!!

    I have a '94 Johnson 150 on a 28' pontoon. The last trip out I had 7 other people on board and I normally run at about 3000rpm and this time out it used alot of fuel. I'm not sure if it was a strong headwind or what. The motor runs great. No missing, excessive smoking, sputtering, etc. How many...

    I have installed 3 seperate, different brands, of am-fm cd player on pontoon. Each one presented the same problem. The sound comes and goes from 4 speaker system. The sound waves are still being displayed on dial, I assume to the beat of the song being played at that time, even when no sound is...

    motor jerks when lowering with trim

    '94 Johnson 150......When trimming down the motor "jerks". If a small amount of pressure is applied the jerking stops and motor goes down smoothly. OK when trimming up.<br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br />Danny K.

    sometimes does,sometimes don't

    At times, for no rhyme or reason, my 1994 150 Johnson will not shift from neutral to reverse. All that happens is the motor will rev up but no actual engagement of the reverse gears. There are no visible signs of defective cables. The "part" the cable connects to does move but I'm not sure if...

    slow response from throttle shifter

    This is on a 1994 Johnson 150. When shifting into either forward or reverse it takes a second or two for the forward or reverse to "catch". No grinding, just delayed response. Not a problem normally as long as you realize this is going to happen. Last weekend a buddy pulled her in the wet slip...

    fuel gauge (sending unit) calibration

    Presently my tank is empty with the guage showing a quarter of a tank remaining. I removed the sending from the tank, with wiring in tact. I then raised and lowered the sending unit float and observed the gauge while doing so. It reacted to the movement, when float all the way up, the gauge...

    overheating warning horn

    Is there a way to check the overheating warning horn? I thought about removing the sensor on the cylinder head and placing in boiling water. Would that work or is there another way to check?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Danny K.

    location of winch

    I recently purchased a 28'pontoon with tandem axle trailer. When the rig is not connected to the towing vehicle it sits perfectly level.In other words, zero tounge weight. I think this was probably due to a larger ob replacement. I have plenty of room to move winch forward, increasing tounge...
