    Boat swap opportunity

    I have an opportunity to swap my 21' Seaswirl Striper CC (1999) fishing boat with a 21' Century bowrider. I really don't fish much and my family likes the comfort of the bowrider over the CC. My boat as a Johnson 130 outboard, the Century has a Mercury 350 sterndrive, recently rebuilt. Both...

    Lubing shifter, steering cables and tilt tube

    Thanks much to several of you for your help in getting my boat back on the water. Now that the major problems have been fixed with the Johnson 130 outboard I'm moving on to some other nagging, although not show-stopping, issues. First, my Bombardier/OMC side mount shifter is acting up, not...

    Service platform parts

    Does anyone have a source for boat lift service platform parts? This is for the kind of platform that attaches to the stern beam of the lift so you can get to the outboard motor for flushing, etc. I have a decent platform but the bolts and mounting brackets are rusted out. All I can find is...

    Aaarg! New probs for Johnson 130 OceanPro!

    Dang! My Johnson 130 Oceanpro has yet another problem! I posted a month or so ago that the tilt/trim got stuck in the full-up position for about 2 weeks. I finally got that fixed. In that process I wound up draining the batteries (1 starter and 1 deep cycle in parallel with 1-both-2 switch). I...

    New battery, should I charge it first?

    Sorry for such a newbie question but I've never replaced my boat battery before, nor a car battery so not sure about this. I just bought a new Everstart DP-24 marine battery from Walmart. Do I need to charge it before using or can I just install it and take the boat for a spin? I'd like to...

    OMC/Bombardier throttle ignition w/kill switch needed

    Hey y'all, I have an circa 1999 OMC/Bombardier remote control (throttle/trim) unit with an ignition switch that has a kill switch/lanyard feature. The kill switch no longer works. The motor will keep running after I pull the lanyard off. I was told I just need to replace the ignition/kill...

    Johnson 130 Oceanpro tilt/trim resevoir

    I have a circa 1999 Johnson 130 Oceanpro outboard. I'm the original owner, having bought the boat from a dealer that got it from a bankruptcy sale in 2003., so I've owned it almost 5 years. The engine has about 200 hrs on it (not positive tho, no hour meter). I just learned I should...

    Icom ic-m45 VHF radio not transmitting

    I have an Icom ic-m45 VHF radio that is not transmitting. I can receive just fine but no transmit. When I key the mic the radio goes silent but no sound gets transmitted. Normal radio sound returns when I release the mic button. I have a marine antenna attached to the radio. I haven't been able...

    How to tell water in lower unit oil

    Hey all, I found an oil stream on my lower unit's skeg below the prop. It looks as though it came from where the prop connects to the lower unit. I had a friend tell me it may or may not indicate a blown prop seal. He also said it could just be too much oil in the system and it's not being...

    Teleflex steering adjustments

    Hi, I have a Teleflex steering system in my center console boat. It came with the boat 4 years ago but no documentation. I've never done anything to the steering other than lube the joint by the motor. My issue now is that the steering has a lot of play in it now. I can turn the wheel about 10...

    1999 Johnson 130 OceanPro Gear shifting problem

    Thanks to Dhadley I've resolved a show-stopping problem with my boat. Now on to a lesser, infrequent problem. I have Teleflex throttle assembly matched to the OceanPro 130. Once in a while when I put the boat in the water and warm up the engine I put it in reverse to back out (it's the only...

    1999 Johnson 130 OceanPro pee hole hose disconnect

    The hose leading from the water pump to the pee hole has become disconnected from the pump side. I can't find where it's supposed to be connected to. The hose end has a ball type end to it surrounded by a rubber sleeve secured with a ziptie. So it looks to me like the ball end fits into a socket...

    '99 OceanPro 130 troubles

    I've just started having some problems with my '99 OceanPro 130. Although it's a 99 I bought it new in 2003 from a bankrupt marine center (their stock was in holding until courts sorted it all out). So, I'm the first owner. Anyway, it's been running great for the past year but now it's giving...
