    1991 Johnson

    Thanks to those that responded to my quest. I changed batteries to a brand new marine deep cycle battery and the starter is just fine. Should have tried that prior to me posting about my "problem" I guess, but the given advice to me was what did it! I will try to get a picture of the cowling...

    1991 Johnson

    Hi guys, First of all, I have a 1991 35 H.P. Johnson. I cannot find a model number anywhere on this motor. It is on a boat that I purchased in the fall of 2023, and ran perfect when I bought it. The boat was stored inside of a garage in November and i just brought it home today (3/3/24)...

    Stern on a Lowe's boat?

    I think the part that is already 2" is big enough (top to bottom) as is, but if I do need to go with something below the thick part, I know I will need to "beef it up" to match the top half. I am going to mount an electric trolling motor on the motor mount. Cannot just mount it onto the stern...

    Stern on a Lowe's boat?

    Thank you. I want to add a trolling motor bracket on the stern so I needed to know what I am going to drill into for the thru bolts I will be using to mount the bracket.

    Stern on a Lowe's boat?

    I just purchased a Lowe's aluminum deep 'V' boat. Has a 35 H.P. Johnson on it, rated for up to 40 H.P. The stern is one layer of aluminum, I don't know how thick it is, but it is the same thickness as the rest of the hull. The only difference is about the top 6 inches or so of the stern where...

    Kill switch question

    Looks like a hole with a plastic plug knockout plug blocking this hole currently on the motor control where the key switch is along with the throttle and fast idle. I am assuming this hole with the "knockout" plug is where the kill switch should be mounted and it seems like it probably would...

    Trailer tongue hinge

    Folding tongues on a boat trailer are quite common & are not sketchy at all, and you stated that you never have seen one? Had one on my old boat for many years and never had an issue with it.

    Trailer tongue hinge

    I have the bolt on hinge already, but I think it can still be welded on instead of bolted. My son has a welder at his house, so free labor!!

    Trailer tongue hinge

    I think I will do the 1/4" steel on all 4 sides. That will be the safest. I have the bolt on hinge already, but I think it can still be welded in place. Thanks.

    Trailer tongue hinge

    It is a 14 ft. V bottom boat that I believe weighs about 700 pounds, hence the 2-1/2" steel tube that the tongue is made of. Very light tongue weight too. I can pick it up with one arm. I have the bolt o type of hinge, not the weld type. I guess if I can put a piece of steel (1/4") on each...

    Transom Height????

    I have my boat in storage and cannot get to it currently. I have it for sale, and someone asked me the transom height of the boat. It is a Smoker Craft Magnum 161, 1991 model. I have all the important info written down except for the transom height. I am thinking it is 20", but that is a...

    Kill switch question

    I just bought a used boat and motor. 35 H.P. Johnson, 1991 model, has no kill switch on it to connect a tether to in case I fall out of the boat, I want the motor to shut off. Is it easy to install a kill switch onto the ignition switch somehow?

    Swivel seat mounts on bench seats?

    I want to put some quick release swivel seat mounts onto my aluminum bench seats. The seats are solid filled with foam, and I cannot get to the bottom of the swivels to put nuts and washers on the bolts to mount the swivels. Can I drill small holes and use self tapping big screws to mount the...

    Trailer tongue hinge

    The tongue on my trailer is 2-1/2" wide (side to side) and 2-1/2" top to bottom. The only folding hinge I can find that is close is a 3" X 3" hinge, which I am planning on adding 1/4" steel bar on top and bottom both to bring the top to bottom measurement to 3". The sides will remain at...

    Thanks for your input. That does make some sense to me.

    Transducer mounting

    Just wondering if it makes any difference what side of the boat that I mount my fish finder transducer on, Starboard or Port side? A few guys on my fishing site tell me that it is suppose to be mounted on the Starboard side. When I ask why? They cannot answer me. Thanks for your opinions on...

    Stiff steering

    EDIT: O.K. I think that I see now that if I start the cable in the wrong connection, the boat would turn the wrong way! LOL.. I will figure it ou when I install it tomorrow!!
