    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    I know that, but they contracted with them and put those on Bayliners all over the place. I never saw them on other boats but maybe they did. Are you saying they weren't scaled down motors?

    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    Yes, your correct. What was i thinking. Multi tasking in the kitchen and not thinking correctly. And your also correct, get that thing broke in and then see what the R's do and maybe put a 19 inch pitch on there. Should give you more top end speed. One thing to note...the 48 and the 88 and the...

    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    Okay, well I'll have to recheck that... Screw size might be to small. 13.5 hmmm I have, what I believe is, a 15 inch one on my 115 but it an Etec so hard to compare. So damn big that it just clears the cav plate! (1/4inch) Props are tough....lots of things in trying to figure those things out.

    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    Well if he goes WOT and trims it out and he pulls 6000 rpm's out of it then he needs to take some inches out of it. Sounds like a heavy boat with maybe some hull drag. Could be lots of things

    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    You are supposed to check max rpm at WOT with the motor trimmed up so you may be a little over propped. 30 seems slow but how big is the boat and what does it weight?

    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    That's about where you want to be rpm wise. I had a 90 for many years then switch to a 110 bubbleback. They were very close in performance.

    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    I'm going to vote yes on this. 90hp vrs 112hp.... Same prop. Not sure if you have a tach but you could check to see if your engine is reaching peak horsepower and then adjust the propeller. You would need to go up to a 6 cylinder to see a big increase in performance.

    85 evinrude 75hp please help.

    There is a reason they name boats after women!!! I'm thinking short somewhere....wires under flywheel maybe. Short or corrosion, something along those lines. Keep looking.

    Fuel line connection

    Race, If you blow up the picture of the fitting, it appears to me that his plastic is all deformed. When you were replacing o-rings, even the plastic back then was better!!

    Fuel line connection

    Also, it's quite a common problem. I bet 50% of kicker boats with portable fuel cans have some type of leak. Especially like the open vent, hot summer day, full tank of gas. Open air, non smoker probably ok.....leaking tank in an enclosed space.....different issue.

    Burnt fuel pooling?

    Older 2 strokes will leave lots of residue so that's a tough one. If it's running well, and a smaller bucket than I would say totally normal.

    Burnt fuel pooling?

    Unburnt oil and gas, totally normal.

    what causes an overheat alarm when the engine is not overheating

    Probably should check top of the head with a heat gun when it happens to be sure but yes there are sensors that go bad. They are located on the back of the head.

    1982 Evinrude 90hp Trim/Tilt not working. Stuck in down position on boat lift.

    There is a manual relief screw located on the port side clamp bracket. Small hole (nickel size) where you stick a large size standard screw driver. Turn it counter clockwise and then you can pull up the motor while someone moves down the trailering bracket or tightens up the screw. Might be low...

    Suzuki 9.9 water restriction?

    Logic says obstruction. Did you remove the water pump and see if you have any missing pieces of impeller? If it sat a long time and the impeller dry rotted, you probably plugged it. Try to back flush if you can....maybe through the t-stat housing. Otherwise your grommet might be toast and the...

    Johnson 65ESL72S Timing question

    Interesting....wonder how long that's going to stick around. Lubricates the old valves I was always told.
