    1968 Johnson 6 hp cd-25c

    I’ve pretty much finished this one up. Found a nice (in pictures) 1955 5.5 for $100 no clue on if it would run. I might go get. I’m ready for my next project. That said I’d get more use from 15 hp

    1968 Johnson 6 hp cd-25c

    I made a post in another thread and it was recommended I start my own thread. I was able to successfully get my kill switch installed in my 68 6 hp motor last night. Relatively simple job. I hadn’t thought to drill through the magneto, and it made for a very simple solution. Works perfectly...

    Mandatory kill switch for a Evinrude 9.9 Evinrude installation and testing

    I’ve got a 1968 Johnson 6 hp. I’d like to put a kill switch on it, but YouTube has been minimally helpful on how to do this. Any suggestions?

    Quick fuel line diameter verification

    Model number cd-25c Couple of quick questions: I messaged Crowley marine directly and they couldn’t tell me if this fuel pump would work or not. I am reaching out the group to see if this will work. 1968 Johnson 6 hp outboard...

    Quick fuel line diameter verification

    1968 Johnson 6 hp motor. I'd like to replace the internal fuel lines for this motor. The line from the needle/connector to the fuel pump and the line from the pump to the carb. What diameter line will i need? Thanks Rob

    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    Well I sold the 25. Guy offered me $1000 cash for it. I wouldn’t say no. The main lake I fish is 9.9 hp restricted as is, so it wasn’t a huge loss. I’ve had the 6 hp motor out behind the boat 3 times the week, and it’s a phenomenal motor. Really dependable and fires right up on the first pull...

    What to do with my motor when towing?

    Does anyone have any good suggestion outside of bolting the outboard through the transom?

    What to do with my motor when towing?

    I’m hesitant to drill into my transom only because I think I’m going to be buying old outboards and running different ones often. I have 2 different outboard motors that switch between now and this number is only going to increase in the future . It does make permanently mounting less desirable

    25 is purring like a kitten today! Finally got a warm day for a bucket test and got the low speed mix dialed In. Ready for the river!

    Depends on who said “friend” is. This may not be the worst outcome.

    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    Agreed! More research and more time turning wrenches on them. I’m pretty comfortable top to bottom

    What to do with my motor when towing?

    I've planned to do that. I'm wondering about what to do with the motor like tilted vs down. Transom saver vs 2 x4 and bungie straps.

    $250 boat (My findings, so far)

    I'd assume the motor has been taken care of as well as the boat has been over the last several years. I'd want to go through that old motor thoroughly before I got it out on big water. Everything Lindy46 recommended is standard repairs for these old motors. I'd say any time and money put into...

    What to do with my motor when towing?

    I have a 1969 Evinrude 25 hp motor and a 6 hp Johnson motor that I've picked up over the winter. I had a horrible towing experience in 2017 and actually lost a brand new motor off the back of my boat. I don't want to repeat that mistake again. My question for the group is what do you guys do...

    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    Update on my 25: I've run it in a bucket a few times, and she's running like a wet dream. Shifting smoothly in and out of reverse. I put some NGK B7S plugs in it to see if the motor will start a little better. Ill order the champion J6C when i can. So far so good with the NGK. Throttle...

    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    I found an awesome little 1968 Johnson 6 HP long shaft motor! This thing starts on the second pull and runs really well. I'm going to put a new impeller on it and get her on the water. We have a HP restricted lake around here, and the stretch of river that I fish isn't very big. Ill be excited...
