    Forzen Water damage??

    Just recently purchased a 95 115h.p. Johnson on a Lund Tyee. The guy I purchased it from showed it to two other people and used the Suction cup water supply for proving the engines performance. He also demonstated it to me. The engine stared right up and ran fine with a good stream of water...

    Could my indash tach be defective?

    I am running a 25h.p. Bigfoot that only maxes out to about 4500 rpm's. I think wide open is about 5600 r.p.m's. I changed to a Pontoon prop since it is on a pontoon and did not notice a great difference in rpm's. <br /><br />My question is before I go to adjust the remote should I make sure...

    Lower Unit - Spring and Ball indent - R.Johnson

    I am rebuilding my 1976 35 Evinrude. I can reasemble the two balls, spring and clutch dog by hand but I am figuring that the notch in the OMC tool must be there to do the proper allinging. I know that R.Johnson said that you may be able to make this sleve tool. But I am wondering on this...

After many attempts I was unable to get the points to open enough to...
