    Floor replacement on my 1987 Starcraft Islander 221V

    Interesting! Does anyone know how carpet glue or Nautolex adhesives take to it?

    Newbie with 76 holiday

    Great project! The finish work of the PO’s bow mods were maybe a little rough in the finish but not horrible. Looks like you have some solid stuff to work with. you don’t have the rib end braces, you might consider looking at the other resto-mod threads here to consider adding? Now is the time...

    Anyone own a big hardtop Chief?

    I really like it also. With a full camper top on the back section, you could overnight comfortably. The thing I like about it is the openness of it. It looks like it feet’s bigger instead of “just this much” in either the cabin or deck area. The hardtop allows shelter from midday sun yet open...

    Anyone own a big hardtop Chief?

    There’s a really cool retro hardtop Chieftain for sale near me. I really like the open feeling of the cabin. This looks like a great fishing/weekending machine. The price is too rich for my pocket at the moment. I think I’d prefer one of these over an Islander. It even has a fridge. a full...

    Starcraft boat market?

    So I’ve been watching my local Kijiji (Canada‘s version of craigslist) and Facebook marketplace ads. I’ve noticed that the 16 foot and 18 foot Runabouts are the hot items, especially Supersports. Which I understand in this climate. Right now everybody is nearly sold out of new boats and motors...

    1994 OM. factory manual for my 1995?

    Thanks, glad to know that. I punched in model numbers for two other motors I’m working on and found the same thing. The last digit messes up their search function on all 3.

    1994 OM. factory manual for my 1995?

    My model E50DTLEOS isn’t coming up, but E50DTLEO does. Any idea what the prefix S means? Special model or something?

    1994 OM. factory manual for my 1995?

    Good morning, do any of you Johnson Evinrude tech pros know if the 1994’s were the same as 1995 models? I’m having trouble finding a manual for the exact year. I did find a 1994 manual thanks in advance.

    So, what did you do today?

    Learned how to replace seals in a lower unit. A first for me. A good days tinkering. (You guys probably do one in an hour.)

    Large circlips pliers for OMC lower units?

    Yes, I realize. And thank you, you are the only one who has given me the straight answer on a pair that will 100% certainly work. But, my budget will not allow for those. That certainly doesn’t mean I dont appreciate everyone else’s help, but suggestions on where to look doesn’t help me pinpoint...

    Large circlips pliers for OMC lower units?

    Round 3 on the plier mods. Round 2 got them in and engaged. But my pin spacing is not close enough to get them compressed to the point of clearing the ridge. Grrr! If I only had a metal lathe....

    Large circlips pliers for OMC lower units?

    I would, but my local place is a gong-show. They were bought out by a lawn equipment dealer that thinks they can be a marine shop. I can’t even get fuel things like rated zip ties, 5/32 hose or basic things they should have on hand. It’s not just me, their google review are terrible. closest...

    Large circlips pliers for OMC lower units?

    Is this the one you use? https://www.mcmaster.com/5300A21/ It looks similar to the Snap On pliers that Scott posted. But those are $250-ish. by the time they are converted to CDN. I’m concerned the ratchet mechanism won’t allow the pliers to go deep enough in the housing. I can’t afford to buy...

    Large circlips pliers for OMC lower units?

    Would you happen to have a link to the exact pair? I want to buy a set that I know will work on my lower unit with absolute certainty.

    Large circlips pliers for OMC lower units?

    Uh yup, seeing why. I was at it a few hours last night making tips for a $25 tool I bought. Ended up in tip failure. I had to make the tips really long to reach the holes that are right tight to the housing wall. The shaft won’t allow me to angle the pliers back. Such a beefy ring. I’m giving up...
