Today I noticed alot of slop between the swivel bracket and the mount bracket. Ive included pic and link to video. Is there a bushing or something I need to replace? I looked at parts diagram but only saw a bushing at the top of swivel.

I have attached pic pink being outline of my transoms shape. Blue and green are the places I would mount them. But do I put them in green area or blue area?
Re: trailer with wrong size tires and wheels
Wow those would be really small tires. The ones i looked up that size didn't have a very high load rating. Im attaching pics of the boat as it was when I found it. And as it looks now. When I towed it home it was heavy as hell. At one point...
Re: trailer with wrong size tires and wheels
It is obvious to me that the wheels and tires are of the wrong size on trailer 1. The advice I am looking for he how to change it. here look at this picture and tell me these are the right size for a boat trailer.
I have two trailers Both I got for free. One came with a boat, the other did not. The one with the boat is the perfect size for the boat that is on it. The other trailer is a foot too wide and someone cut four feet off the the length of it. So the ("other") trailer is a no go for the boat...
ok I went out and bought a storage tub deep enough to submerge the motor so I don?t have to have muffs. It seems to work better. however I still had the choke on to start. I had my wife kim film it cause when I tried to do it myself I wound up shocking the crap out of my self on the wires...
Started up after six years sitting. Rebuilt lower unit already. Replaced powerpack. Not sure it seems to be missing some and it seems to bog down when I rev it, and tries to die with choke off.

Im a little confused as to the proper way to do this. I read the manual but its talking about neon lights and other things I don't have. I have a multimeter. Can I do it with that?
Its a 76 johnson 55hp I only have spark on one cylinder. First thought was coil. So to check coil I switched...
Got boat and motor for free. Last time engine ran was six years ago. I just finished rebuilding the lower unit. I also just rewired the electrical system. Tried to start it for the first time a few days ago. Turns over very slowly, battery if fully charged. All connections are clean. Just...
I have a 1976 55 hp johnson on a 69 Mckee Craft 14 fiberglass trihull. I was given the boat and motor, as they were going to scrap it. I have not had it in the water yet. After 3 months of work on the hull and motor. It is getting close. Just need a few more things. Primarily a prop. The...
