    Hey y'all

    Slice the breast meat into strips or chunks. Marinate in lime juice and your favorite spice mixture. Use just enough lime juice to coat. Then toss in seasoned flour and or cornmeal and fry. Crockpot the legs and thighs, pick and shred the meat, and use for tacos or eat it on a sandwich like you...

    Hey y'all

    Now that my motor has been diagnosed (hopefully), I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm 64 and live in North East North Carolina. Bought my first boat in 1981 or 2, it's been a while. I'm fishing out of a 1981 Ranger 335V. But you might have guessed that. It is not the first boat. That was a 13'...

    1981 Johnson 90 HP overheating, but not all the time

    I'm just sitting here sipping a cold one and testing my heat sensor. Got 200 again and then this, twice.

    I think I've found the intermittent part of my problem. I retested the sensor that sounded at 180 and it went to just over 200. Gunna try again and report back.

    1981 Johnson 90 HP overheating, but not all the time

    I removed the water covers, no blockages. I tested the heat sensors one grounds at 180 and the other a hair over 200. I can't seem to find a definitive answer to at what temp they should ground.

    Can you explain what the diverters do? I don't have a problem with replacing them, I just want to understand.

    1981 Johnson 90 HP overheating, but not all the time

    After I looked at several pictures on here, I think I figured out the water diverters. They make the water go vertical, not horizontal. If so, mine are fine.

    I have welder fingers, so I'm not a good judge.

    No, but that can be my project for later today.

    1981 Johnson 90 HP overheating, but not all the time

    Yes. Last summer. All seemed to be good. This morning I left them in place. gaskets are cheap though, I can remove them if you think it will provide some insight.

    1981 Johnson 90 HP overheating, but not all the time

    Ongoing/intermittant problem for over a year. Replaced the impeller (twice), thermostats and flushed out the heads and or block using a water hose hooked directly to the hose fittings on the blocks. That was last year. This year I replaced the inlet screens and re flushed. Thought I had it, but...
