Hi guys! I'm hoping someone has this engine or a wiring diagram of it and can help. I'm trying to figure where the wires for the coke solenoid, temp sensor and neutral safety switch are landed on the terminal block. I took them off with plans of replacing them and can't find my pictures.Thank...
What grit- fine, medium, coarse are you guys using to hone your motors? Gonna hone one soon and like to hear what everyone has experienced with their setup. Thanks!
Piston rings are cast and cylinder is steal.
Hello all! I have a outboard that I am trying to get running and on the water. It's a 4hp 1997 merc 2 stroke. It will run fine when the lower isn't in water. Once in water it spits fuel and dies shortly after. Been through the carb countless times cleaning and setting the float. Compression is...
What size prop did a 73 Johnson 50hp come with? Mines a little beat and I'm not sure if it's even original to the outboard. I know there's prop calculators out there, but I'm looking for real life experienced responses. The boat is a 59 Smith craft. 13' 9" total weight estimated approx 800lbs...

I have removed the transom wood from my 59 Smith Craft and am looking to replace it and match the height of the 73 johnson 50hp i have can you guys help me figure how to go about properly measuring the new wood to be cut? Thanks any help is appreciated. I'd like to stray from using a Jack Plate...
As the title states... Are there any factory units that will fit? I'd like to keep the outboard close to the transom as possible. If I absolutely have to I'll look into aftermarket units.
Thanks!
My lower unit oil has seen better days and I'd like to flush all the old oil out. The manual states the use of omc premium, type c and dextron transmission fluid as the preferred oils of use. From my previous experience i know the use of trans fluid will clean oil sludge. What methods do you...
Hello,
I'm back with another outboard question. I'm going to look at a 74 50hp John in a couple weeks. Is this a good outboard year? Seller says it runs and has 140psi on the cylinders. Considering the compression how many hours would you say this outboard has on it given routine maintenance...
I'm looking into an 40hp Mariner outboard that a good guy says is an 89 mariner. He says he thinks it's the year they used the Yamaha powerhead. Anyone know when they were no longer produced with the Yamaha head?
Thanks!
Hello all,
