    Volvo Penta Outdrive Interchangeablity

    Hello All- I am restoring a 1978 Bayliner Saratoga Express. It is a 25 foot boat. It has a 305 V-8 engine. It also has a Volvo Penta 280 AQ Outdrive but the top half is missing. By top half, I mean the U-joint and the upper gear housing. The steering and the hull mountings are there...

    Recommended Procedure?

    OK, I'm ready to tackle the impeller change on my 1985 90hp Johnson. I bought a service manual, and a water pump kit and the manual explains how to put it together and bolt it in but it is not real specific on how to get to it. It seems to imply that one has to drop the lower unit off of the...

    Update... Next Fix!

    Dhadley was right on the primer pump problem. The new gaskets did not have a hole. I removed them and drilled a small hole in the gaskets and things work fine now on start! Thanks.<br /><br />Should I go to the tach problem next, the water pressure gauge, or the "synch and link problem"...

    Gauge Sender Question

    My boat has a 90hp Johnson 1985 outboard.<br /><br />I just bought a collection of OMC Gauges on Ebay. They came without senders. My new gauges are Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Trim, Voltage, Tach, Speedo. The existing guages in the boat are a tach that doesn't work, a speedo that does...

    OMC Tach Question

    1985 Johnson 90 horse outboard.<br /><br />My tach is not working correctly, it seems ok at idle but on accelleration, it acts wacky. The number on the back is: 174206 There are settings on a dial that say 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.<br /><br />What would the proper setting be for my 90hp 4 cylinder?<br...

    Trim/Tilt Sender

    Hi Everyone,<br /><br />1985 90hp Johnson...<br />OMC Gauge It doesn't specifically say OMC on it but the Tach and the Speedo say OMC and it matches them.<br /><br />Previous owner replaced the trim/tilt sender. I don't think it is the correct sender because the gauge goes from full up to full...

    Charging Question

    Ok, next question.<br /><br />On my 87 90hp Johnson outboard, I'm assuming it has a stator type charging system. How much power (Volts and amps) should it put out? Are there upgrades to get more amps so that my trolling batteries charge better when I'm running the gas motor? Motor running or...

    Johnson VRO System Question

    Is there any gauge I can install in the oil line (I'm thinking pressure or vacuum gauge) that will tell me if the VRO system is working correctly? I sometimes don't run my boat for several months and everytime I take it out for the first time in a while, I wonder if I'm cooking my engine with a...
