Hello, I'm considering buying a 2000 25hp saltwater series Evinrude. I can't get to the motor and don't know what the shaft length is. Does anyone know the lengts available for that year? I have a 1994 Johnson 15 on my 10.4 Caribe RIB and the shaft length is perfect. It's time for me to have...

I know veterans here really recommend users to purchase OEM manuals. Well, I just have to say that my OEM service manual totally ROCKS! I waited 1.5 years till I finally got around to paying 63 bucks to my OMC dealer for my 1994 Johnson 15hp. As they say, you get your money back right away...

Is it alcohol resistant? I can't find out anywhere. Thanks

Hello, I have an electric start model but never use the feature as I am a sailor with a small dinghy and find it not necessary. I just rebuilt my 1994 right down to the paint. She looks sweet and is ready for another couple years. Can I remove the starter to "lighten up my load" without and...

I have my motor tore apart and have sanded all the blistering paint. Much bare metal has been exposed. Do I prime lower unit, exhaust, mid section etc or just use OEM paint? Thanks

Hello, I am a cruising sailor and have my johnson 15 on land for a annual carb cleaning/rebuild. I just checked compression with warm engine. 88psi in both cylinders. She runs like a bear and has started first pull for 15 months several times daily. New piston time?

I have a 1994 J15 that I absolutely love and it runs like a bear everyday as I am a cruising sailor. Both of my upper motor mounts are broken completely. I am aware that I have to remove the powerhead to get inside the exhaust. There are parts that to my knowlege are "obsolete". Can anyone...

first of all, i worked very hard searching and looking at parts diagrams with no luck. i have a 1992 j15 and it is became loose today from the swivel base (the part that clamps to the transom) to the mid-section. there are 2 rubber spacers with a partially threaded bolt going through them to the...

Hello, I am new to my 94 johnson 15 hp tiller outboard. When shifting in or out of gear I have to hit it hard. Is this common or is there an tension adjustment that I am missing? Grease fitting? Thanks

Hello, I just rebuilt my carb and fuel pump with sierra kits. Everything worked great but I have a horrible time getting on plane, the rpm's for the first half of throttle accelerate slowly, once on plane it runs great. I didn't adjust any screws when rebuilding, I just put them back the same...

I recently purchased the motor and have it out of the water for my recently purchased fuel pump and carb kits from iboats. I just tested both cylinders at exactly 110psi. Is my psi allright? Thanks

......and I am too busy to install the new kit this weekend and really need to use the 1994 j15 for work tomorrow. I believe I have a sticky float valve as I am cutting out at WOT or when I hit a wake, also I am slow at building rpm's. I recently purchased the motor and it was sitting for 1...

I got my sierra fuel and carb kits today from iboats for my 1994 15hp johnson. I was told (not by iboats) that the kits came with instructions. I have a clymer shop manual but am very inexperienced with carbs and fuel pumps and was hoping for as much help as I could get. I did some searching on...

Hello, I have a 1994 johnson 15hp with electric start on my 10' ridgid inflatable. I would like to hook up the electric start since it is already there and free. I am unfamiliar with batteries sitting there in water when it rains while my dinghy is sitting there at the dinghy dock. I will get a...

Anyone know where to get one? My Caribe is 10'3"
