    Evinrude 4 Strokes

    Dont really ever see this topic much at all in this section. I'm guess they are pretty rare. My question is...what years did they make Evinrude 4 Strokes and how good are they? I found a boat that is a 2000 year model, and has a 4 stroke Evinrude 70HP on it. Not certain that the motor is the...

    Manufacturer Questions...

    Tried googleing this manufacturer, but really could not come up with much. Iboats also does not have it listed on their manufacturer site. The boat is called a "Bay Explorer" by Irvette. Its a 1996 center console boat. I really like the layout of the boat. As it is much wider then my current...

    60HP Johnson Harness

    Wires are all messed up on my old 1991 60HP Johnson. I would like to replace the whole harness, does anyone know where one can be purchased other than the iboats store (they are sold out). I like the price of the iboats store...directly from evinrude they are a bit more expensive. Part # for...

    Adding Power Tilt

    My motor is a 1991 Johnson 60HP with manual tilt. I'm looking at the possibilities of adding power tilt to this motor because it actually is a pretty big motor to be tilting manually. What all would be required to do this to my motor as is, and what might be the best way to get a power unit? Are...

    Concept Boats

    I always think of concept boats as large speed boats for some reason. But I came across this...and I really like the platform. This is actually something that would work well for the type of boating/fishing that I do. [url]http://westpalmbeach.craigslist.org/boa/578178434.html[/url Does...

    Repowering different boat...

    Right now I've got a 1990 60HP Motor being fully rebuilt. I really love the motor, pretty simple to work on and ran great until it wore out and cracked a piston. Very economical for a two stroke, and parts seem to be readily available for it. Not to mention I just painted it and put all new...

    Parts List - Where to buy

    Because of the rebuild, I'm replacing a bunch of parts I have declared to be worn out, or parts that I feel that I should replace while doing the rebuild. I would like to order everything at once. I have not price checked my local Johnson/Evinrude dealer, but they usually tend to be very pricey...

    60 HP Reeds

    I need to replace the reeds on my motor. 1989-1992 60 HP 3 Cylinder Johnson. I would really like to use OEM quality reeds for this...rather than an aftermarket brand...but dont know how important the quality of reeds are. I know mercury used to sell some racing reeds for really cheap before. But...

    Help!! Currently Attempting to Remove Powerhead!

    Got a late 80's early 90's Johnson 60 HP 3 Cylinder Outboard. Trying to remove the powerhead. The Seloc manual tells me to "remove the three botls on each side of the powerhead, the two in the front, and the two nuts from the studs at the rear of the powerhead". Does anyone else find these...

    Got a late 1980's early 1990's Johnson 60 HP VRO. 3 Cylinder. Motor has been running great for the past 7 months or so. When I bought the boat/motor around a year ago it looked like the motor had not had the best of maintenence. But I cleaned up everything and replaced all the essentials and got...

    Backpressure/timing ?

    Some of you know that I have had a whale of a time trying to get my johnson to idle in nuetral or even in gear at low RPM's. Ive cleaned the carbs, I've done all kinds of new parts, and the motor runs FANTASTIC at fast idle all the way through cruise and WOT. But just will not sit and idle while...

    Crankcase/Spark Lever

    There is a lot of play on my spark lever its so bad that when I bring the control back to nuetral, the spark lever wont always come back to it position making the motor have higher rpms when trying to idle. Usually it will also keep rising in rpms too. I have come to the conclusion that the 2...

    Inline Fuel Filter

    Do most of you guys have an "inline" fuel filter running right before the motor? Also, the fuel/water seperate filter. How good are these at filtering fuel? Or are they strictly just a fuel/water seperator? Cory

    The VRO Pump

    So I understand how this pump works now. I have a 1989ish Johnson 60HP. It has the VRO, however when I bought the boat, the VRO was disconnected. The fuel pump on the pump works. I have no idea if the VRO was unplugged because it no longer worked or if someone just didnt want to have to open the...

    Johnson 60 Troubles...

    Late 80's Johnson 60HP does not like switching in and out of gear (neutral to forward, nuetral to reverse) and also does not like sitting in nuetral for more than 10-20 seconds or so. Each time it bogs down and wants to stall out. When in gear, moving even fast idling it runs great and shows no...

    Vacuum Leak

    Got a late 80's/early 90's Johnson 60HP. Motor seems to run pretty good at cruise and WOT. Even fast idle seems not so bad. However, the motor does not like to idle slowly and really doesnt like to go in and out of gear/nuetral/reverse. I have been messing with the timing some, and it has gotten...

    Bushings Worn Out/ What to Do

    The bushings have got to be worn out on my old Johnson 60HP. There is a little of "free play" in the motor when it is in the UP position. It will bounce up and down going down the road on a trailor. This makes it very tough on my transom. What can I do to save my transom from getting beat to...

    Swing Back Seating

    Right now I have a swing back seat with cooler below. Its 36" wide. A little to wide for my likings in my boat. I would like to find one smaller, but still a swing back seat with a cooler below/or dry storage. Im hoping to find one around 25" wide. That would give me a lot more room for walking...

    slight misfire/ Ignition? Fuel?

    Trying to troubleshoot my problem with my late 80's early 90's Johnson 60 horse. Motor ran pretty good before I removed it for a cosmetic makeover. Ever since I installed it back on, it has been misfiring. I knew my battery cables were old and worn out. So I replaced the power and grounds...
