    I haven’t pulled flywheel off yet. I don’t have a puller for it. Been home with my son whose 12 months, so I’ve just been tinkering with motor while he’s been sleeping today. Haven’t had time to do a full deep dive into it yet. I took the motor over to a guy in my area this past weekend to...

    Prefect! Thanks. This whole thing has been 100% user error then. I’m trying to idle down in neutral putting unnecessary force in the throttle handle causing these pinions to break. I ordered the third one in a month. I should only use neutral when I have it in “start” and can’t idle it down...

    A bit more information: I maybe a complete moron and have no clue what I’m doing or I’ve got a weird problem with the motor… in neutral I can’t adjust the idle…reverse I can adjust it some and drive I can adjust it pretty well. The throttle control gear moves freely, so it is working fine when I...

    I am having trouble breaking these pinions, I’m wondering if my throttle is supposed to move this little or not? I broke it trying to get my motor to throttle down. I could only get it to run on high gear.

    I have had to replace the throttle control gear and throttle control pinion. Now my throttle on the tiller is extremely tight and I can’t get motor to run anyway but wide open. Any suggestions what might be causing this?

    That’s exactly what I saw on multiple manufactures sites before I bought this boat. I thought it should have plenty of weight capacity for us, But jims123 says that we’ll be over weight. I’m new to learning about boats, so is there something obvious that I am missing?

    I really hadn’t thought about weight being a concern, but you may be right. I think combine weight of myself, wife, dogs and boy are approximately 450 lbs.

    Motor pictures, long shaft, Johnson lower half of motor. Someone put electric start in it as well. Works really well.

    my thought process did a kicker motor was simply this…this 25 hp motor weights like 80-85 lbs, newer 25 hp motors are going to weight at least twice that. I’ve got a wife, baby and 2 dogs I plan to get out. I thought a kicker would be simple insurance to get home.
