I recently sold two 1988 Johnson 48 SPL's and one of these motors, which used to run perfectly, is having a problem. The only think worse than having motor problems is unknowingly selling motor problems to someone else.
The motor cranks with ZERO hesitation and idles perfectly, but when ANY...
Johnson 48 SPL.
Motor is running great, thank God. When I turn to key, my control box makes a BEEEWWW noise. It comes from four little holes with a circle around them. Anyone know what this noise is?
Brought her home today. From what I've read, Henry O was started by Henry Mckee after the rest of his family wouldn't go along with his new hull design. It's suppose to be unsinkable like Mackee Craft and Boston Whaler. Anyhoot, it fits my needs like a glove (fishing, shrimping, crabbing). I...
I found 2 different types of flooring that I would rather use besides plywood. One is made of PVC and the other is made of polyurethane. Does anyone know if regular polyester resin will bond to either one of these. I'm trying to avoid putting wood anywhere in this boat. WOOD IS BAD!!:devil:
The contacts in the voltage regulator (or maybe it's a solenoid) that's attached to the back of a Paris-Rhone alt. are rusted and week. Is is possible to change out this part or do I have to get a new alt.? The coil and shaft, etc. in the alt. look great.
Hey friend, what program did you use to edit that video clip? I'm looking for a cheap one to make my own project video and I want to be able to add text and stuff.
Finished putting my motor back together this past weekend. Now I have to start on the outdrive.

Does anyone know if there is a replacement hub for these props (older 17 spline) that are made of plastic? I am paranoid about hitting a stump a killing the gears in my outdrive.
I have seen these on some posts, but my fuel line does not have one. Only an in-line filter that looks like a small clear tube with a screen inside. Would it be smart to put one in while I'm rebuilding the motor. Is is dangerous for the motor to run without one?
I was wondering if anyone here has used this two-part paint for a floor before. The more I think about carpet for my boat, the more I don't want it. I know Perfection makes a beautiful finish if prepped right, but I'm not sure how it would hold up if it were walked on. I would use a non-slip...
AQ125A/270<br />I removed 6 bolts total. I CAN NOT get this thing off. There could be one of two problems.<br /><br />1) Just above the two starter bolts, there is another hole with no threads inside. In this hole I can see a plug of metal. Same goes for the other side. Could these plugs be...
Do you know of a good online company where I can find decent gasket/o-ring sets for a VP AQ125A? I can't seem to find a kit that has the "collar" type seals for the heat exchanger and fresh water tank connections.
can someone please tell me what i'm missing. I have taken out the upper gear box, turned it to its side, fliped it, beat it, snatched it, and I can not get the u-joints to break loose from the motor. WHAT AM I MISSING??? I am removing the motor and I have to take off u-joint and bellows to get...
