    Oar length

    I have a 1 year old son that I take out fishing often. It basically would just be a break glass Incase of emergency set of oars. Whoever had the boat before me removed the oar locks. I need to install more.

    Oar length

    I’m thinking I need to get a set of oars for my Jon boat. I have an outboard and trolley motor with me at all times anyways, but I’m sure I won’t regret the purchase. My boat is 16 feet long and the beam is 68.5”. I’ve done some Google searching but I’m confused as to what to buy. Any idea on...

    I need a new project

    Winter seems to be picking up steam, and I'd like to find a cool motor to work on this winter. I'd like it to be something I haven't done before. I have tools to work on Johnson and Evinrude motors. Marketplace and Craiglist seems pretty slim right now locally, so I'd be willing to drive a bit...

    Weird story

    Water pump will 100% be replaced. I'm actually going to convert this to a long shaft. I was given a kit a while back, and found the motor and pounced on it.

    Weird story

    I found a 1980s 15 hp evinrude on marketplace that was running that i agreed to pick up from a guy. I saw a video of the motor running, so meeting at the kroger parking lot want a big deal. I looked the motor over quick and it seemed ok. I took it home. I got the motor home and its not the same...

    Lower unit reassembly

    Stick with it. You'll get better at the each time you work on them. last 2 lower units i've dropped. I've had the impeller replaced and back on in under 15 minutes. 3 or 4 months ago i would've laughed at that.

    Jet Engine vs Mud motor

    After a full year of using multiple outboards at the river I am finally ready to admit defeat. A standard outboard motor isn't the best option for me in the rock bed shallow river I frequent. I am going to get either a mud motor or a jet motor. Does anyone have experience with both and which...

    1976 Johnson 6 hp no water coming out of exhaust

    Solved, tons of crud between the gasket and the top of thermostat housing!

    1976 Johnson 6 hp no water coming out of exhaust

    Friend of mine just replaced the impeller, so I didn’t inspect things. He said impeller passed the bucket/drill test with flying colors. On full throttle I can get the water to shoot out thermostat housing a good 4 feet in the air, so it’s pumping like a champion.

    1976 Johnson 6 hp no water coming out of exhaust

    I feel the same way. I I thought it might be either the upper (power head to brass tube) or lower (brass tube connects to water pump housing) water tubing grommet, but if those were melted/in poor shape motor would not pump like a geyser our of thermostat housing correct?

    1976 Johnson 6 hp no water coming out of exhaust

    I decided to get a back up motor after not being to fish for several weeks due to problems with my 15. I bought this 6 hp long shaft for $100 and was told it wouldn’t pump. New water pump and still no water coming out of exhaust. Water pumps great from water pump to thermostat housing (see...

    Boat Names

    I name my boats after the person I buy them from. This started with my last boat. I bought it from a guy named Cecil, so i named the boat Cecil. My current boat I bought off a guy named Darrell, but his facebook handle is Brookside. My current boat's name is Brookside.

    1990 15 hp Johnson won’t start, sort of sounds like it’s sucking air/leaking air

    Update on this mess of a thread. Motor starts and runs. I cleaned the carb and put on a new fuel pump. Seems to have resolved everything for now. I think high speed jet was clogged up.
