Hello friends,
My 1999 Welcraft 16 foot cc has some fiberglass damage on the keel. How bad is it? I clearly need to repair and install a keel guard. I have no experience with fiberglass repair and it seems very involved. Any advice out there for an effective solution without major $ at a...
Good catch and I’m not sure if the 1998 is tiller or not. I will ask.
Yes sir, the steering is stiff on my 2000. So far I have not been able to get any fresh grease to the upper part of the steering arm.

Hello,
I picked up a 2000 Johnson 70 HP J70PLSSD and the steering is stiff. I believe the power head is fine. It cranks right up and has good compression. But this steering has me worried.
I found a 1998 Johnson 70 HP J70TLECB with a blown up powerhead, but everything else seems to be in...
Hello-
I have had some trouble with my trim & tilt single ram system. The unit would not trim out (up) under load. I had the seals replaced, and this helped, but still would not trim out under load. I decided I could live with this as long as it was not leaking.

Hey everyone-

Hello, and thanks for reading.
I'm trying to find the gasket for the lower unit vent screw. I found the gasket for the drain plug, but I can't seem to find the gasket for the vent screw. The gaskets look different, as the vent screw seems a bit smaller.
Are these two gaskets in fact...

I have a Minn Kota Riptide ST 55# thrust, that I have used for just one season.
I need to check behind the propellor for fishing line. I removed the anode and bolt that is on the outside of the prop, but the prop still doesn't want to come off. I talked with...
Hello everybody-
I have a 1999 50 HP Johnson 2 stroke.
I broke off one blade of my 3 blade prop last time I was out. I was almost on plane when I heard the crack. I was in 6 feet of water, but must have hit something I guess. Anyway, I heard the crack and pulled back on the throttle to...
I'm having issues with troubleshooting an electrical connection to my one of my pumps. I have a switch in the center console for the pump, and I'm trying to figure out if the issue is with the switch or the wiring. Could someone point me in the right direction for how to troubleshoot this? I...
