    '76 Johnson T&T filling (to tilt or not to tilt)

    I have a quick question about filling a T&T resevoir. Are they supposed to be filled to the fill plug when the motor is full tilted up, or are they supposed to be filled to the fill plug with them tilted all the way down? It seems to me the later isn't correct as it'd be almost impossible to...

    Will This Fit??

    I have a 1972 Johnson 100hp motor currently with a hydroelectric shift lower unit with no reverse. I guess the clutch dog and reverse gear are most likely worn out. So I was looking on good ol' ebay for a used lower unit and came across this:<br /><br />...

    1972 100hp johnson... no reverse HELP!

    I posted this in another topic I had open but it was kind of mixed in with another problem so I'm going to start fresh.<br /><br />To begin with... I have used the search, and I spent over 3 hours reading problems with reverse, etc, etc but they all point to the same thing. I have the...

    Looking at a new boat

    So I've had my very used boat for almost two years now. Completely rebuilt/modified it over the winter and think it's great now. Everything seems to be good with it, just adding in all the storage compartments I had planned for it, will cut open the bow for a casting platform/pedistal seat and...

    Lower Unit Problem?? (72 johnson 100hp) UPDATE: no reverse, help!

    So I have this '72 Johnson 100hp motor that I've been fixing and testing and fixing and testing. I think I have the final parts in and done, the upper (green wire) shift solenoid, new impeller and new prop. I followed the Seloc manual to the letter, re-installed the lower unit, hooked up the...

    Exterior refinish

    So now that I have the inside all done up the way I want it (except for the cut open bow, really want a platform up there for fishing), I want to start to plan the exterior refinish. Now whatever is on the boat right now is cracked (deep), has runs, and just looks horrible to say the least. I...

    A thanks, and another question (shift solenoid and stalling, 72 johnson 100hp)

    Edit: For my 1972 Johnson 100hp hydroelectric shift.<br /><br />First of all thanks to everyone that helped me get my motor running last week. Managed to take it out twice, still having a problem when easing in on the throttle (likes to die), but found out today that I am missing a few parts...

    All in a day in the life of... (long)

    Got a couple that happened today. First one wasn't me.<br /><br />#1. Was at the boat shop today picking up some new plugs and a couple carb kits to get my motor started so I could head out to the lake. Just ahead of me was a gentleman and his wife with what looked like a hydraulic line from...

    Took it out today

    First thing is first. Thanks to everyone and VERY valuable information at this place. I finally got my build done (replaced floor, replaced and beefed up stringers/hull support, replaced and beefed up transom, cut out splashwell and built a rear "deck" the same height at the top of boat, new...

    1972 Johnson 100HP... NO START :(

    So I just finished completely rebuilding my boat. Decided tomorrow would be a great day to take it out and test it (been raining and windy for the last few weeks). Put the muffs on, turned on the water, primed, turned key (and choked) and it wouldn't start. Tried and tried and tried and...

    gas tank

    This probably isn't the right place to post a question about gas tanks, so I'll mix in a few building questions too.<br /><br />To begin with, before I spend the money, is this type of tank suitable for an outboard...

    Question about sealing wood

    Hey, I finally got around to purchasing all my wood for my project. Still snow on the ground though and a big drift infront of my boat at the farm so I can't quite start at it yet. I did have a question though about sealing the wood for the flooring.<br /><br />While I was shopping around for...

    Buying Stuff On-Line (link reference)

    I figure for reference for everyone that is planning on re-pairing, modifying, building, or just buying new toys we should have a thread that lists everyones favorite on-line stores and what they offer. Also e-bay users you have purchased stuff from and have no problems with. Brick and morter...

    US Composites - shipping

    Hey,<br /><br />I thought I had posted this once before but it may have been another e-mail to US composites, don't remember. But I was just curious if anyone here is in Canada and has ordered from US Composites? I've tried to e-mail them about 4 or 5 times and haven't received a response from...

    It's finally started!

    So today (since it wasn't snowing and actually somewhat nice) I decided to cut a chunk of floor out to see what I was going to be dealing with come the beginning of spring. Well needless to say, I don't think I needed the saw *laugh*. All I had to do was cut through the fiberglass layer, tear...

    1972 100hp

    I just bought my first boat, it came with a 1972 Johnson 100ho motor. It's a real pain in the butt manually lifting and dropping the motor every single time I launch or want to beach my boat. I have a line on a power tilt/trim unit from a 1976 140hp (I know a 1976 100hp will accept the same...

    Boat Modifications (long)

    Hey,<br /><br />I just bought a boat a couple months ago from a buddy of mine. It's a 16 foot Delray made by International Fiberglass. I like it quite a bit the way it is but I have a few things I'd like to do, a couple of them I need some opinions on.<br /><br />First off I need to replace...
