    1957 Johnson 35hp short to long shaft

    I don't think its the gearcase, prop spins easy in neutral. And engages in forward and reverse easily, but never know. Certainly could be the starter recoil. The pull handle is missing on that motor, rope could be all tangled in there. Haven't started pulling anything apart yet, sprayed oil in...

    1957 Johnson 35hp short to long shaft

    I will be ordering the book soon Only history i know is that they last ran sometime around 2020. And they were converted to fuel pump somewhat recently hours wise as the pumps still look brand new and clean inside. I have penetrating oil soaking in the cylinders, gunna let that sit and keep...

    1957 Johnson 35hp short to long shaft

    On one, the generator is stuck, and the other the engine itself is stuck, so wasn't able to get a compression test. I went ahead and took them anyway for a little less than what he was asking. Not afraid of them because a project. Neat thing is, they are sequential serial numbers. So they've...

    1957 Johnson 35hp short to long shaft

    I am already assuming they are going to need a going over regardless. Water pump, lower seals, all the consumables like you said.

    1957 Johnson 35hp short to long shaft

    Awesome, thanks! And i assume its more than just the housing needed. Drive shaft, water tube and shift linkage are things i think of i would assume need to be changed aswell. And yea I'll definitely be bringing my compression tester with me to look at them. Assuming good compression and...

    1957 Johnson 35hp short to long shaft

    Hello all. I just picked up a 1959 lone star El Dorado and looking for a new outboard for it as the one it came with has a lost title. I found twin 57 Johnson 35hp sea horses nearby for $500. Last ran around 2020. Electric starter, 12v generator, all wiring, control boxes, and throttle remote...

    Lone * Star Cruise Liner

    This is what she looks like now. I just got the engine running so that's good. Previous owner put a mercruiser 4.3 175hp with alpha one drive in it. It has about 5 layers of paint on it but looks like the original paint may have been white with yellow accent and interior

    Lone * Star Cruise Liner

    I just picked up a Line Star Cruise Liner, a boat I've been looking for a couple years now. Title says it's a 1963 model, but it likes like a 1962, unless they split production with the cruise liner II in 63. It's in decent shape and should be a fun restoration. So far looks like my biggest...
