    270 vibration? U-joints?

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I agree. That's what I did, just eliminates another point of entry for water to get into the wood.

    1984 Johnson 115 run on after shut off

    This year sometimes after turning the key off the engine runs on for maybe 5-10s, sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn't?? Any reason for this? It never did it last year, and everything is unchanged.
