Ok - quick question for ya'll. Probably a common one but here goes:
1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
Current prop is sized right for the boat. However, I have started to do a lot of wake boarding, and would like to give up some top end speed for a little better hole shot.
2)...
I have an 18' tri-hull that I load onto a keel roller trailer with two bunks (bunks don't hold much weight, just stabilize). I am looking to improve this setup because I often boat with inexperienced folks, so I need loading to be easy. My issue with the current setup is that loading. If the...

Hi everyone,
I rebuilt my 1974 Johnson 115 tilt and trim this winter. It is the tilt and trim system with 2 cylinders mounted outside of the motor (One is a tilt cylinder, and the other is a trim cylinder).I installed new piston rods, new piston/cylinder seals and new hoses.

Alright, so here is the backstory to my issue.
I have a 1975 Johnson 115 on a 75 Reinell. Last summer, I was running the boat at WOT (at that point, motor ran great at all RPM's), when it suddenly conked out on me. I was towed back into shore, and diagnosed the issue as no spark. Since it was...
Hi all,
I'm currently troubleshooting no-spark on all 4 cylinders of my 1975 Johnson 115. First, I tested resistance between the spark plug wires and the block...got good results on two (2 kOhms) and rather high results (6 Mohms) on the other two. However, since there is no spark to any...
First post on this forum - Looks like a great place for help.
Anyway, my 1975 Johnson 115 cut out at WOT last week. The motor was running great and then stopped like somebody turned the key off. I haven't been able to get it started since. It turns over just fine, but worn't start.
I first...
