I have a 1985 175 hp Johnson engine, and I want to change the water pump. My problem is that I cannot even see the bolt at the top of the shift rod. Do I need to remove the carbs to get to it?
I have a 1985 Johnson 175 on an 18.5' fiberglass bass/ski boat, having purchased the boat and engine about six months ago. The prior owner said he had replaced the steering cables about a year ago. My problem, if it is a problem, is heavy steering. I'm thinking that if I can lube the cables...

I recently purchased a 1976 Eldocraft fiberglass bassboat. The topside is a metalflake finish that has lost its gelcoat. You can now feel the metal flakes, it's almost like sandpaper. What can I apply to this to refinish it? :)
