    1972 65ESL72S multipart question

    Hello everyone, I am in the process of rebuilding my lower unit, and have finally been able to get past those tough to remove snap rings. I now am left wondering two things. First is the bearing in the oil pump serviceable, or will I be forced to replace the entire pump? The bearing isn't...

    1972 Johnson 65hp water intrusion

    I'm planning on dropping the lower unit to fix some water that I drained before winter from my lower unit (also going to do the impellor just because).

    1963 Evinrude 5.5 HP

    Hello I've taken the lower unit off to inspect the impeller on my '63 5.5 fisherman motor. I noticed there was no gasket between the lower and mid sections. It would appear that the motor has never been apart due to the bolts all still having fresh paint on them. My question is should there...

    Does shopevinrude.com sell aftermarket ignition parts?

    Hi, I just ordered a stator for my '72 65hp johnson from shopevinrude and the first stator I recieved was clearly used. After multiple phone calls and a week later I today recieved my 'new' stator. Well to me it looks like a cheap POS knock off part. All of the copper coils are exposed and not...

    My new 1972 Glastron V-156

    Hello, I recently purchased a 1972 Glastron V-156. Had the carbs rebuilt on the 1972 Johnson 65 hp right after I bought the boat and now it runs great. First time out had the boat up to 35mph with 4 people. Needs a little work, like having the seats redone, there is a soft spot on the floor in...

    1972 Johnson 25hp outboard

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and relatively new to the boating world. This past summer I came into a 1964 (i think)14ft Alumacraft boat with a 1972 Johnson 25hp outboard. The boat is really great for the year, it has a bow w/lights and windshield, wooden transom and all that good...
