    Hello all, It's been a while since a posted. I have my boat all tucked away for the winter and really didn't have any problems winterizing it. I just got done putting all new wires in it (thanks mouse:mad:) and had a question about decarbonizing the motor. Here are the specs: 1992 Johnson 60...

    Help with RPM

    Hello I have a 1992 Johnson 60 hp (VJ60TLENE) with a 13-1/4 X 17 prop. I recently replaced it with the same model/brand prop, but I'm not getting the same performance out of it (around 4900 RMP WOT). It looks a little different then the old one (the blades are fatter but not as long.) My...

    Hello again, I have a 1992 Johnson 60hp (VJ60TLENE). I recently had the gears replaced, I just took the lower unit into the shop and now I'm trying to get it back on. The shift shaft doesn't appear long enough, I loosened the shift linkage as much as I could but it still isn't long enough. I...

    Help with gears

    Oh Boy

    Hello again I have a 1992 Johnson 60hp (VJ60TLENE). I changed the gear oil and when I did I found metal shavings on the magnet, and a couple of chunks. I know this bad but just how bad is it? Do I need to look into new gears? If so how much am I looking at and where can I get them? I also...

    Help with trailer

    Hello. When you winterize your boat trailer I heard that you want to jack it up and take the tires off. My question is where do you jack it from? If you jack it from the axle you still put pressure on the springs. I thought about putting it on jack stands on the frame by the axle, but will...

    Hello, I'm pretty new to boating, I just bought a 92 skeeter with a 60hp Johnson (VRO) and I have heard many people tell me to disconnect it. I took it to a local boat shop to have the water pump changed (never been done) and asked about the VRO pump. The owner said "that will eventually...
