    Want to part out 1972 Fastwin 18hp

    The motor was originally set up with controls and I was told I would get them along with the motor. The old guy took about three months before he asked me to go to his place to pick it up and once we made it to his shed I knew there was no hope. It's a long shaft and I need a short and the...

    A coworker just gave me a 1972 25hp Johnson...

    ...out of the blue, one of our PM's just stopped by my office and said he had a 1972 or 1973 Johnson that has been sitting in the corner of his garage for years. He said it was missing on one cylinder when they last used it but ran okay otherwise and has never been apart. I asked him what his...

    Is a tiller extension safe?

    Under normal circumstances of course...a stick of dynamite is safe if you don't light the fuse or throw it in the campfire.

    Who would have a prop for a late 60's outboard?

    The factory manual for my Wizard (Chrysler 9.2) is listed as an 8 X 8, my prop is a 5 X 5 two blade drive pin type prop. Would the 8 X 8 provide more speed, or power?

    Evinrude 6hp running at 4 mph wide open...

    ...I don't have a tach yet but in comparison to the 9.2 Wizard this morning, the Evinrude does not sound like it's running at 4500 rpm. The best it would do was 4 mph. It certainly looks like the throttle mechanism is opening the carb wide open. As ya'll suggested, it may not be running on two...

    Advice Needed to Convert Tiller to Stick Control

    I would like to convert my Lowe 1457 Sea Nymph to a stick steer setup, is there a system that is universal to convert any tiller steer outboard? If the answer is no, I have a decent home shop and good fabrication skills so what should I look for in a used system?

    A Sea King and Wizard is a Chrysler, who has model and serial numbers?

    With thanks to ntrsandman who provided a Sea King manual, I see a Chrysler 9.2hp used for the pictures. So I am virtually sure my Wizard like the Sea King is a rebadged Chrysler. The manual shows only one 9.2hp Sea King with a model number of 27909 for 1969 although the 6hp is listed for...

    Are there two exhaust ports on a Chrysler 9.2?

    Discount-Marine said that my Wizard is a rebadged Chrysler 9.2 I replaced the impeller although it was still pliable but the new impeller had half as many fins as the old one Like 6 to 12. It was a tight fit and I had to bend he fins slightly to make it fit, I assume this is not a problem. How...

    Do ya'll have pic's of a 1965-1974 Chrysler?

    Don't flame me and at least let this thread sit here for a day or two. This request has been on the Chrysler board for a day or two with no bites. I am trying to determine if a 1965-1974 Wizard 9.2 sold by Western Auto is a re-badged Chrysler. If it is, I can use a Chrysler service manual. I...
