    '89 Johnson Propeller Issue(?)

    A good thought, I did drop the prop closer to the transom as I was having a difficult time planing out when I was alone. It is amazing what one can find when they look in the service manual. The 25 hp's came stock with a 10" x 13. Looks like I will get one on order unless someone has an...

    '89 Johnson Propeller Issue(?)

    Excellent, thank you. So the "warbling" I hear is likely caused by cavitation from the increased diameter? In selecting "load", other than choosing for the max RPM, how does one calculate that? Seeing the type of boat above and the load being generally me (215lbs) and my kids+ maybe another...

    '89 Johnson Propeller Issue(?)

    There isn't as far as I can see, but I'll check again. The iboats store lets you choose from 8" to 15" props. Max RPM is listed at 5200-5800. Anyone else know these old motors and what the stock diameter and pitch were?

    '89 Johnson Propeller Issue(?)

    I wonder if someone could verify if this is the correct propeller ( 13-11)for this motor or whether its condition would cause me issues. The boat just doesn't "sound" right as it cuts a wake, kind of a warbley sound and a bit more engine movement than I think it should have. I know one of my...

    '89 Johnson Propeller Issue(?)

    I had total motor failure on the Johnson 25 a while back, and rather put a newly rebuilt motor on my hard luck body, I did a resto on the Sea Nymph and afterwards starting feeling what I believe is a propeller issue. Those pics to follow.

    This Sea Nymph Pinstripe

    I have searched and found nothing, has anyone in any of your travels ever seen this (or similar) pinstripe for sale? I am aware of the custom printers, but if that's the only option, will likely just go with a broadline straight one. i blew up the 88 25hp Johnson, so while it's out being...

    Fuel Filter Gasket

    1987 Johnson 25hp - I have a small gasket tear in the center ring that the screw from the fuel filter passes thru into the pump. When I pump my bulb up, I can hear air weezing past. What would be a condition that i oculd expect when running the motor under load? I have run it with muffs to no...

    1987 Johnson 25HP No Power To Ignition Switch

    I did and it's also fine. Swapped the fuse just to be sure, no change. I am starting to lean towards the area here outlined in red in the photo, what is the "bank" of wiring connections in front and the rounded triangle part with a clear window/wiring behind it called?

    1987 Johnson 25HP No Power To Ignition Switch

    I have no power to the Red/Blue hot wire....there is actually some, just .19 AMPS. A bit of history first: I killed the old battery from leaving an accessory on CRANK-CRANK, CLICK-CLICK. I had it load tested and it was junk, so I replaced it with the battery shown below. After installing it, I...

    The Official Post a pix of Your Sea Nymph Forum

    Hi All, First time boat owner here. After having a friend take me out fishing on the Connecticut River, I caught the bug. A friend of a friend had this boat sitting in storage, he got it from a boy scout camp in NH and it was $1500 which happened to be my price limit. All has been good the last...
