    Suzuki 2013 DF60A

Really don't need that just want to understand the warning system, how to read proper oil level, etc. Anyone know where to...

    2013 Encore Bently Pontoon

    I have the opportunity to purchase a 2013 Bentley 200 Cruise pontoon at a good price. This would be a second boat, just looking to have extra room for friends who always come down to the lake. Our main boat is a Mastercraft that we surf and wake board behind. Not worried about lack of speed...

    Carb adjustment question

    I have a 1992 Johnson 60hp, j60tlene. When setting the mixture screws (on the top left hand of each carb, when facing the engine) I read to set them at 1 1/2 turns out. It seemed that were much further out to begin with, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2. So I adjusted them all to 1 1/2 and fired it up on with...

    92 Johnson 60HP Ignition Problems

    So I posted a couple of days ago, see below. Still have the stumble/rough idle, like it is missing. It runs smooth above 1200 rpm, #3 Cylinder plug is oily, checked coils and they are all spec. Compression is #1 140, #2 138 and #3 130 (cold did not test warm). These all seem to be within 10%...

    92 Johnson 60hp, starting issues

    A little confused, I have a 92 Johnson 60hp, that I used everyday until 2 months ago. It was running great a couple of months ago. Today, I pull it out to start and clean it up. It would stumble and die. So I drained the carbs, same thing. Pulled carbs, just to check, #1 carb jet was plugged a...

    Fuel Deck Fill Question

    I have a bass boat, with a built in fuel tank with a flip open deck fill opening. It turns out this is not waterproof when closed. I had to drain the fuel tank last week, due to water and engine not running. Put a fuel/water separator on it, refilled tank, everything was good. Took out...

    1992 Johnson 60hp

    Quick question, I was on Johnson parts page and I noticed that this motor, model # J60TLENE, shows to have a VRO Pump/Tank. Mine does not and I am not the original owner, so this could have been removed. Does anyone know if this was an optional feature on these motors? Thanks, TEX

    Livewell Aerator Pump not moving water

    My boat has 2 livewells, one livewell has an aerator that should fill and aerate the water. The aerator comes on but will not fill the livewell when in the water. I can force feed it with a hose out of the water and it works fine. Any ideas on what is wrong? Thanks

    Prop Question

    I have a 1992 Johnson 60hp, 3 Cylinder on a 16' Cajun Bass Boat, turning a 14X17 prop. I top out at 35mph at 5100rpm. I noticed that this engine came from the factory with a 12 or 13 3/4" diameter prop. Would I gain much speed from a smaller diameter prop with a different pitch. Am I correct...

    Suzuki Question

    Been running Evinrudes for a long time and am now considering a boat with a 1991 DT150, I believe it is the super six with dual spark plugs per cylinder. What do you think about this particular motor? This one is in good shape and has been well taken care of. What is the main difference...
