    '82 Johnson 70hp - One cylinder down when cold

    Hi All, I have a 1982 Johnson 70hp that I picked up last year for cheap. I didn't get a chance to get my boat running until later in the summer this year.

    1977 Johnson 70 hp lower unit compatibility

    Hi, I have a 1977 Johnson 70 hp (70773S) motor that is running well but has about a 4" crack in the lower unit from the prop forward. The crack doesn't enter the oil reservoir, but I'm concerned about the crack size and the strength of the area. It was a barn find that I bought for cheap money...

    Re: rewire 1983 lowe bass chaser 16 I don't have one for your boat, but I do have a full diagram for my '89 tracker. My understanding is that there really isn't any significant difference between boats, especially if you are doing a full re-wire. I've attached them for your reference. Boat...

    Water in VRO Oil

    Hi All, I purchased an '89 tracker this October. I'm in the process of doing a little overhaul, primarily to remove waterlogged foam from under the rear deck. The first thing I did last night was to start by removing the VRO system. I'm in the camp that I'd rather replace a few spark plugs...

    89 Bass Tracker Pro17 Console Switch Layout

    Hi all, This weekend I purchased an 89 Bass Tracker Pro17. The prior owner replaced the decking and carpet this spring time. Unfortunately he was not really adept at wiring, and decided to do the least possible to get back on the water. To that end, most of the switches weren't hooked up or...
