    Remote control problems

    I have a 1984 Johnson 35 HP. The problem I am having with the remote control is that whenever I shift from forward or reverse to neutral the throttle lever on top pops up, and I have to push it back in place to get going again. I have had it apart and replaced a couple parts, but still haven't...

    outboard problems 35HP Johnson

    I recently bought a whaler 13 with a 1984 Johnson 35 on it. I just (3 days ago) paid $971 to get the head gasket and water pump replaced. (on a side note, does this seem high? the mechanic claimed the screws were hard to get out, thus the high price) Now the starter is shot. I also can not pull...

    Rotten Deck, but great motor?

    I just uncovered my 1986 stingray bowrider for the season. I just had a 1997 Mercury put on it last year. It has low hours and runs like a top. Unfortunately when I uncovered the boat I found a soft spot. Upon further investigation, the boat needs a new floor (the wood is like a sponge). The...

    1953-54 Evinrude.

    I was given a 1953-1954 Evinrude outboard (I'm not sure which year it is ) over the summer, I am trying to fix her up. The model number is 15012-45329. The motor has not been started in over 20 years. We were able to get to the pistons (after breaking numerous screws). They were jammed, but we...

    Gamefisher Fuel Line

    I have an opportunity to get a Gamefisher 15 HP motor for a good price. It is just the motor however. My question is: How do i connect the fuel line to the motor? I have not been able to find any connectors anywhere for these motors. I can go and buy a fuel line, and buy a tank, but i don't have...
