    2003 Johnson 115 DFI won't shift into gear

    It's been a while since I've been here. I have a 115 Johnson DFI 4 stroke that won't shift into gear. I went out fishing today and near my home we thought we had a fish so I shifted back to neutral and reverse to find I did't have any reverse. No bad noise or anything. Also forward is gone. I...

    2004 Johnson 115 lower unit trim plate

    Hi all, I now own a Johnson 115HP 4 stroke 2004 outboard. It is essentially a Suzuki with a johnson lower unit I gather. I'm extremely happy with this engine on my small Cad 18. Very quiet and smooth with enormous power when opened up. When I went ice skating the other day I noticed a broken...

    Small waterjet (4-8 HP)

    Anyone know if there are small waterjets on the market? I've been looking like crazy nut can't find any water jet propulsion system for under 35HP. There's one I know of developed for the Mokai Kayak. I've written the company to ask if buying just their jet system is an option but no reply. I...

    mercruiser 3.0 inline 4 has been under water

    Recently bought a Glastron V177 that has been underwater. I have no clue how long. Since I got it for next to nothing and I like the looks I thought about rebuilding. First considered putting in a donor engine but since the floor of the boat is also rotting I want to spend as little as possible...

    1996 mercury 8HP stator problem

    This is a Mercury 8 HP outboard for my small yacht. 2 stroke, gear on handle. S/N is O9856975 and I think it's from 1996 but I never could retrace this s/n in the charts... I'm sure it's not a "Q". Anyway, always ran fine and has been sitting for a while. Decided to do maintenance and replaced...

    25HP Johnson 1982 do I need regulator next to rectifier?

    Hello again, I realize that I asked this question before in 2004 but actually never got an answer (I did get very good answers to all my other questions). In 2004 I installed a rectifier on my 1982 Johnson 25HP outboard to charge my battery. I used that engine to commute to work every day...

Here's the problem:<br /><br />I want to replace the water pump, thermostat and add a rectifier to charge my battery. According to the Sierra catalog (and numourous...

    smoky johnson 25 HP (j25balcnb, s/n b01677).

    My johnson 25 HP (j25balcnb, s/n b01677)smokes quite a bit. It is a white "light" smoke. I can't really determine if there's steam in it suggesting a leaky head gasket. Would that show on your spark plugs? I had to clean the carb and someone else ajusted the float. I checked it and he said it...

    Johnson j25balcnb dies when opening throttle

    I recently bought a johnson 25 HP (j25balcnb, s/n b01677). It starts well and runs idle. When you open the throttle it dies. Checked the carb and it is clean and looks fine. Still everything points to a fuel problem. I was wondering if someone could post the timing, carb float (sorry, I'm dutch...
