I have a 1981 115HP Johnson outboard. It always ran great, but haven't run it in 2 years. Tried cranking yesterday and the starter solenoid clicked but starter motor did not turn.
I measured 12.8v at thick red cable input of solenoid from battery. I measured 12.8v at small terminal on...
Hi, I am thinking about buying this boat. How much do you think it is worth? I know it depends on a lot of factors, but maybe you can give me just a ball-park figure because I have no idea.
It is a 1988 21-foot center-console. Boat is supposedly in excellent condition. Has power trim tabs...
Hi, I would like to change the impeller to my 1981 Johnson 115 HP, 2-stroke, 4-cyl. I have a Seloc manual but it looks like a lot of pictures are missing in order for a newbie like me to do the whole task. Could anyone give me some info?
The water pump is working fine, but I hear it is a good...
Hi, I bought my boat about 1.5 years ago. The engine has run great the whole time. I know very little about engines, but I want to learn about them so that if it starts acting up, then I'll know what's going on. I'd also like to learn how to do maintanence. I haven't had a chance to order...
I have an old 1959 boat that has a cable and pulley steering system. It is extremely difficult to turn at 10 mph or greater and the pin keeps breaking. I have tried putting grease on the pulleys and that barely helped any. I'm am thinking that I should put some grease on the actual motor...
I want to paint my old Johnson motor. What type of paint should I use to do this? Is there a specific brand I should use?
Also, the engine cover is a little cracked...anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.
I am about to buy a service manual for my 1979 or 1981 115 HP Johnson V4 2-stroke outboard. I found the Seloc 1973-1991 60 to 235 HP Johnson/Evinrude repair manual. But...all of the reviews are bad for this manual on amazon. Most of them say they didn't even mention their engine at all in the...
I am thinking about adding this anchor winch to my boat.

Getting the anchor out from underneath the floor of the boat is difficult and...
Anyone know where to buy some cheap boat jacks to paint the bottom of the boat? Used would be great if anyone knows where to get them. :cool:
Thanks.

Hi, I bought an old 1959 wooden boat. You can see the steering wheel in my picture. The steering system is a pulley system where the cables wrap around the steering drum behind the dashboard. There is a big nut that holds the steering drum onto the bolt. But...there is a little tension pin...
My engine only has 2 out of 4 spark plugs. It was like this when I bought it apparently, and it has been running great for the past year. Is there a reason why someone would've taken out 2 of the 4 spark plugs? Thanks for your help...I am very new to engine troubleshooting.
Hi, I have had 2 fishfinders. The first one came with the boat and was probably from the 80's. I noticed that the plastic was really damaged (deteriorated). I thought it was from the age. Then one day, the transducer ripped off in the water because of this. I bought a brand new fishfinder...
Hi, I have a 115 HP Johnson outboard (either 1979 or 1981) (the title says it's an '81 but the manual says it's a '79, so I don't know which one it is.
Here is my problem. I noticed my brand new fishfinder transducer mount plastic was deterioating. Then I realized it's from fuel dripping down...
