My neighbor gave me the 3 hp Johnson and a buddy of mine and I replaced the recoil rewind spring. My other neighbor wants to use it on his little boat.
The problem is it only locks in the down position when turned around 180 degrees for reverse. When the motor is rotated back to go forward the...
I see Cabelas has a 34lb thrust trolling motor on sale for 109.99, is that a good price? I need one for my 14' deep v mirrocraft.
It does not come with battery clips. What size clips should I buy, are the copper plated ones the way to go?
I understand I should have an inline fuse, what size...
My 14' mirrocraft has 18 gauge wire for the lights. (jumper cable type clamps to the battery)
I have a toggle switch that has 10 gauge wire. Is there any problem connecting the 2 different size wires. How do I do it, do I need water proof connectors or a box for the switch? Can the switch be...
Having trouble shifting into gear. The button you push in to shift into gear is not coming out all the way. It's as if a spring is broken and it's not coming out all the way?
I recently bought a 9.9 Johnson 4 stroke and the idle is high.
It starts easily by rope.
I tried several times to adjust the idle screw down but the engine will shut off.
The original owner said he only ran about three tanks of gas through it.
I added the marine stabilizer to the fresh gas.
Any...
Having a tough time getting the last few broken rusty screws out that are by the gunnel. They held the boat cover slat sockets. I'm replacing them with aluminum rivets.
I sprayed all the screws a couple of days before trying to remove them, but some were so rusty the heads broke off.
The...
My neighbor gave me the motor, he said it runs but smokes quite a bit.
I tried starting it the other day and I broke the recoil spring.
Is this a 1958 motor?
Is the recoil spring difficult to replace?
Thanks.
1988 9.9 force. I'm working without a manual, not the smartest thing to do but the pin that goes into the drive shaft and goes into the notch of the impeller is suppose to be straight, correct?
It's bent and since it rotates 360 degress in the hole, that must be the problem. I think some...
I have a 14' aluminum fishing boat with a 9.9, 4 stroke that I will keep at my dock unless a storm comes up. I'm looking to get around using a hoist as I have a steep bank and a 5+ foot break wall. I was think of getting an old boat trailer and removing the axel or maybe some dock with rollers...
The alumacraft is a 1989 and the mirrocraft is a 1980's i think, both are 14'
Both are deep V's. I have a 9.9 force my neighbor gave me, I replaced the head gasket, it starts easily and runs good.
Is one boat wider than the other or thicker aluminum?
Is a 9.9 enough for these boats?
Does anyone...
