Hello Guys,
My last two cold starts have resulted in two symptoms I wanted to ask about.
Symptom 1 - The starter sticks on engaging. Both of these have happened when the engine was cold. I kicked the key over, and the starter stuck trying to kick the engine over. I naturally turned the key...
Hello Guys,
My buddy has a 1995 Champion (21 footer) and he said I could have his sonar if I help him install his new one (swaping out an old Lorance for a new GPS enabled Huminbird).
I disconnected the unit, and cut loose all the zip ties, and have the transducer cable clear up to where it...

Hello Guys,
I recently purchased a 93 Johnson 150 and had to rebuild the VRO2 to get her on the water. Having completed that project and getting the boat running, but now that I have had her on the water I have a concern.
The symptom is that the horn honks at startup (expected I think), and...
Hello Everyone.
I currently am debugging a short somewhere in my tilt/trim which causes the main fuse to blow when connected.
However, when the tilt/trim is disconnected at the motor, I am able to fire the starter without blowing the fuse (fuse remains cold, no heat) and the engine cranks. The...
Short Version

Johnson 150 V6 - 1993 - Do not know the model yet.
When the connector for the tilt/trim to the front and comand center is connected at the motor, the main fuse by the celenoid blows when the key is turned to on.

Hello Guys,
I have 2 specific questions at the bottom of this post.
Brief History: I have not had reverse in this boat since purchasing it about 1 year ago. The suspected reason was the previous owners "creative solution" to replacing the shift cable (AKA "redneck it"):
Symptom: The unit...

Hello Guys.
Let me start by saying that you have been very helpful in the past, and I had a scare on the lake last night that you guys could point me in the right direction on.
I have a very old 77 johnson that has an intermittant starter issue. The issue is this, randomly the boat will not...

I do not have the...
