    Worth checking out/restoring? Old plastic 16' rescue boat

    Hello all, The boat in question has just appeared on a local craigslist-portal and is 4.80 meters long (about 15' 9") and 1.80 meters wide (5' 11") and the material is plastic (not sure which type). The owner says it needs repainting and it was a rescue boat on a transport ship, however it was...

    Re: 1970 Johnson 20 hp throttle Q's Ow! The lower bearing (the rightmost bearing on that previous picture) was actually corroded to the crankshaft, that's why it did not rotate and I had troubles with the starter seizing sometimes before. I was able to get the bearing out and clean the shaft...

    Re: 1970 Johnson 20 hp throttle Q's Hey kfa, hows it going? Just a quick update... Crankshaft seems to rotate now and I don't know what caused it not to. I'm going to investigate.

    Re: 1970 Johnson 20 hp throttle Q's POP! One coil is cracked, the other's not. Probably one of them has been replaced during the motor's lifetime. An inscription left by one of the previous owners says "FRAM" near the cracked coil.

    Re: 1970 Johnson 20 hp throttle Q's Hello. I have a picture of the prop. I sent the pic to a repair shop with questions but they wouldn't answer. Gotta keep looking. It's a 9x9.

    1970 Johnson 20 hp throttle Q's

    Hello, I've got a couple of questions about 20RL70. They are best explained by a picture; unfortunately I don't have access to the exact engine but I've found a picture of an identical engine. Q1: Should the roller move all the way up to the slide on the plate? It only moves up to the...
