I bought a new radio and when I went to put it in the plug did not match and I had no good wiring diagram. I am taking the boat to a radio installation professional (like I should have done in the first place), but I now I have cut the old plug and have loose wires and when I turn the key I...
Ok, been working on this motor for 2 months, and thanks to all of you I was getting real close. I finally did the sync on it and I think it would have been ready to go...but this is where my stupidity got in the way.
Today while it was in the tub I decided to engage the prop and throttle up a...
OK, the motor is getting close to running perfect and the seats will be back from upholstery this week and now I have to finish up the hull.
My question is I need to refinish the inside with paint and I need to know what process you experts would take to do this the right way....

I have the motor running now but cannot get it dialed in all the way. I can get it to idle great and it will get to top speed eventually. there is a good deal of sputtering as it tries to reach top speed. Once I get to top speed I can back of to mid speed and then it re-accelerates very nicely...
I am taking the marine plywood to the upholstery lady this Wednesday and I am wondering if I need to seal the marine plywood that will be covered by the marine vinyl? I want to do it right but I an also limited by time and money. Would a regular household poly work in this situation?
Thanks
Hello, I am getting ready to have the seats done for my 15' starcraft and I have purchased some marine plywood to build them. I have seen many people cover the wood with some sort of poly or sealant. What would that be?
Mine will be covered with marine vinyl, but I do not want to miss an...
Ok, I am getting closer on this old 1963 75HP Johnson.
It was not running a month ago. I have replaced the plugs, plug wires, bad cam on the magneto fly wheel, and I bought a carb kit and cleaned the carb.
The boat will idle nicely here at my home finally in a barrel, but I finally took the...
I have pulled this number of the hull plate, however it is difficult to read so I may have things wrong
550-W-460N
15' Runabout
75HP
I can find picks that make it a 1964, but the motor on it is a 1963.
I have found an aluminum version of it in 1963 that is similar but not 100% can you help?
Hi My starcraft has handles on the back but I am sure they are not beefed up enough, How do I go about installing the necessary eye holes for this in a safe manner and in a way that is ok for the transom.
thanks
Can someone point me in the irght direction for specific tutorial on the steps I nee to take to paint the intrior hull walls and floor for my classic fiberglass boat? Some paint has worn away on the floor, but I am not sure the best finish or paint to use or the prep work. I have seen that...
Ok, have made my way through timing, plugs, new cables, points clean and adjusted, so now I am onto fuel I believe.
Keep in mind I have not cleaned the carb yet but that is on the list and may be causing this issue.
I am finally able to start the engine. I can start it sometimes with the...
Re: Still trying to get this old Johnson running
Here is the motor we are speaking of, do I disconnect the black wire with the red tip? Oh, also, the guy I bought this motor off of, gave e the old magneto and had the one in the image already installed. There is a small rectangular box on...
