    Compression check

    Thanks. It’s an electric start. He’s likely got a carb problem as well since he didn’t winterize in 2019. Hope to get it running soon.

    Compression check

    I have a 1977 Johnson 9.9. Looking at it for my son. Is 90 and 95 on the cylinders acceptable? Sat all last year and probably hasn’t been decarbed in a while.

    Carb for 1977 9.9

    I can check spark and compression. Just trying to line up options. With unstabilized ethanol fuel I think the carb is the usual suspect when a motor sits over the winter. Or not cranking fast enough due to poor battery.

    Carb for 1977 9.9

    Hi guys, in need of a carb for a Johnson 9.9 1977. Model 10EL77A. I checked all the usual stores. It’s my sons boat and he left 2019 gas in it.......now says won’t start. Think this is my best option as opposed to a rebuild even though I’m very familiar with LeRoy......😲

    Evinrude 150 Opinions please

    I’m considering a used boat. Has a 2011 E Tec 150 on it with 206 hours. Looking for opinions on this motor. What should I do before I buy? I own a 74 70 Hp so no computer diagnostics experience. Any thoughts on these fault codes?

    Used trim tilt for 70 hp Evinrudee

    Im at the lake this week and a local comes up and says he has a trim unit for my 1974 70 hp Evinrude. Says he’s been watching me for years pulling up my motor when docking at the rental. He said it is on a 68 with a LU and I can have it all for $100. Guess he felt sorry for me. I’m in Vermont...

    Johnson 9R-70C

    My neighbor is new to outboards. He has a 1970 9.5 hp that was given to him. Said it ran fine last year. Now won’t start. He sprayed ether in the carb and it sparked for a second. He was lots of quad runners...... He has good fuel, bulb gets hard. He checked the fuel pump screen and it’s...

    Plywood Flooring ?

    What being used these days to replace a wood floor in a tin boat? Haven’t done this in a while. I plan to epoxy both sides with the US Composites 3:1. I can get 1/2 marine at $89 per sheet but looking for cheaper options.

    16 SS Live Well Anydody?

    Has anyone added a live well to their restorations? I love my 1974 16 ft SS and can generally keep fish alive on a stringer but a live well is something I’ve thought about. I know a sheet metal guy who can custom make the tank out of sst or aluminum. Thinking port side and replacing the lounge...

    1974 16' Starcraft SS Trailer Question

    I've had this boat for a while now and it has 1974 Texas Trailer which I assume is original to the boat. My problem is it has never been easy to load out. Always a bit off center. I don't have a pic handy but its a standard center roller and 2-4 foot bunk design. It also has 4 foot side guides...

    1974 Power Pilot Remote Choke Toggle

    My remote control has a toggle under the key. When you bump it the solenoid closes the choke plates. Ran great for our 2 week trip until the last day. Hit the toggle and all is dead. The only thing I did different was to pull the battery and charge it. After I reinstalled the battery I then had...
