I've got an early 80's? I think 7.5 SeaHorse. It runs good and gives my no trouble but it won't quite get me and a buddy on plane in a 12' jon. I've tried all the trim settings and it helps a little getting some boat out of the water but not quite enough. I know if I could break over on plane it...
I sold the boat and kept the motor and hung it in the barn. The days are in the 80 and 90's now and will be all summer. I'll have another boat in a few months. I changed the lower unit oil in October. Anything else I should know about storing it properly?
I've got a Johnson Sea Horse 9.5. I think it's an early 70's model. It says 50th Anniversary Edition on it. It will crank and run, but I put it on a light pond boat and it wouldn't plane out. Sorta felt like I wasn't getting all the throttle. The thing will only run if it's choked, and always...

hello all. I just ordererd a new 16' jon boat with a 4' wide bottom in it. I am thinking of rigging it with a Tohatsu 40 TLDI, but I was wondering if that would be enough power for it. Anybody have any idea how fast it would go, or do I need to go with the 50 instead?
Someone gave me a 72 Johnson SeaHorse 9.5 Model# 9R-72M. It only has about 25 hours on it, but it's been sitting up for years. I was going to put a carb kit on it. Should I replace the pump, and if so should I buy a new pump or a pump kit or just an impeller? Does anyone know the part #'s to...
