I have a 1991 Johnson 48SPL, model #J48ESLEIM, and it has the tilt assist. I am wanting to convert it to a power tilt and trim system. Can anyone tell me what year and HP will work for this?
I have a 1991 Johnson 48SPL Model #J48ESLEIM. The current control I have is like the one in the picture. The key and kill switch are in the dash. The throttle and shift cables are brand new. I would like to change to a "regular" control box for two reasons. The first is there is not a neutral...
I have a new to me motor on my boat. It is a 1991 Johnson 48SPL. The boat is a 1988 Blue Finn 15 ft. long. The previous motor was a Force 50hp. When at full throttle the boat tracks straight, but it is extremely hard to turn to the right. Turning to the left is extremely easy, you could turn it...
Hello everyone,
I have a 1991 Johnson 48SPL J48ESLEIM. I took it out for the first time today. It starts up really easy, idles great and will also fast idle real well too. After cranking it up and letting it idle for 10 minutes or so, I pulled the shift lever out for the fast idle and moved it...

I am looking at a 1990 60hp Evinrude and it has 90 pounds on each cylinder. Even though all cylinders are the same would 90 pounds be considered low?

The reason I asked about the air silencer is because of the parts diagram. Item #49 part number 0552613 says hose air silencer to manifold. It looks like in the diagram it connects to a nipple which is item #36. If the hose connects to that nipple where does it connect on the other end?
Is there a diagram which shows the proper way to rout the fuel lines. Kinda confused from some of the pictures I have seen. I have also noticed there is a nipple at the bottom of the intake manifold. Where does the hose from this nipple attach?
Thanks

I looked at a 1991 48 SPL today. The motor fired right up, idled good, had good flow of water from the pee tube (ran on muffs). We ran the motor in forward and reverse and let it idle for about ten minutes. Turned it off and it cranked right back up. A few minutes later i notice a thick gray...
Hi all,,
I am going to look at a 1991 48SPL and the owner says there is a problem with lift assist device. He says it is either a broken cable or control lever. I have looked through several postings and it seems as if this may either be an easy fix or a nightmare. Does anyone have any...
I got the seals in the mail today and went to replace them. I drained the lower unit and found alot of metal shavings in the old oil. I have a question about swapping the entire unit. I found a lower unit but it is from a 35hp, same year as mine 1988. I have looked at the parts diagram for both...
After correcting some different things done by the PO, I want to make sure I have put the impeller back together the right way. How exactly does everything go back together. The PO had it put back together in a manner where I had to remove the shaft to get the old impeller off. The way it was...
Got a question about replacing the drive shaft seal on a 1988 50 hp. What is the easiest way to get that seal out. I need to replace it because it has a tear in it and I am getting water in my lower unit. What about replacing the shift rod seal since I have the lower unit down. I have replaced...
