    Tohatsu M8B shifter cam...and I'm an idiot.

    I was doing an impeller replacement today, and foolishly pulled the shifter cam out of the lower unit when I dropped it. Yep, should've used the shop manual...I didn't. It doesn't just "go back in," correct? It seems like I'm going to need some kind of puller tool here for the prop shaft, but...

    J70elcnb, exhaust manifold gasket question

    Greetings, I think this is my first post in the outboard forums, and I have a question about a leaking exhaust manifold gasket on an '82 70hp. I've done a few things to address the more common issues I've had...rebuilt the carbs, replaced the head gasket, gear oil, impeller...and the only real...

    Rough and ready '74 Starcraft Chieftan 18' rebuild

I had a couple of months to think about the layout of the "new"...

    New member, here's my Bomber

    Re: New member, here's my Bomber Here's mine. I think it's an '82 "sportmaster" with the same year Johnson 70. It's endured decades of abuse, and it shows, but I've got the engine purring now and the hull is watertight (after much hack-work fiberglass patching). I'm going to run it into the...

    Steering loss due to cracked spent travel tube?

    Greetings. I hope this is the correct forum for this question, as I posted this a few days ago in the Johnson section and only got a reply to post it here (thanks "boobie"). A few days ago I had the boat just a few hundred feet out in the lake when I heard a barely audible crack from under the...

    Steering loss on '82 Johnson 70, I don't know where to start....

    My 16' runabout lost steering on the lake today (fortunately not too far out, and I could manually move the engine at idle speed to get back in). I have no idea what happened, but what I did notice was directly under the helm a 12" or so plastic tube had its end broken off, and was also coming...
