    The story of two motors - 75 Johnsons

    I have never seen anyone blance a 2 strk crankshaft. That is only a racing thing. If there is that much damage it must be replaced.

    The story of two motors - 75 Johnsons

    If you knew how easy it was to rebuild those motors you would do it. You could probably rebuild that power head for less than $1000 and it would be new. I dont know why more people don't.

    Amazing

    The 3 cylinder was 1/2 of the 3.0 6 cylinder so it was a 1.5 litre. But it sat in the V6 chassis plenty of those out there. They were good sellers I owned one It was a nice motor. One huge advantage it had was because it sat in the v6 chassis everything was under the hood no external oil tanks.

    Transom Browning

    They did not clean the boat off. That happens when boats are kept in the water. Look on craigslist dozens of boats have that stain.

    Crack in Hull

    Really the boat was well maintained yet it has a crack in the hull? Really That is an old crack. Not to mention it looks like they hit something to cause that.

    1957 evinrude fastwin 18hp ventilation problems.

    That motor has points and condensors under the flywheel.. You should move this to the johnson evinrude Forum. Spark plugs are not your problem.

    1957 evinrude fastwin 18hp ventilation problems.

    It sounds like your motor is running on one cylinder do a spark test. That motor I believe is only rated to 4500 rpm.

    Crack in Hull

    I will be blunt Screw the complete overhaul. Go buy a different boat and chalk this one up as a learning experience.

    Wheel bearings full of water

    Personally I do not think bearing buddies are worth the money. They really only lube the closest bearing and do nothing for the other one. So not worth the time or money. Make sure you are getting the right seals. Are you packing the bearings? Are you filling the cavity between them? Best way to...

    Crack in Hull

    I will bet that costs more to fix than the boat itself is worth even if you do it. You are only seeing the crack gaurantee it is 100x worse once you get in there. Pull the drive and engine sell them scrap the hull buy a different boat.

    Need prop for low speed manoeuvres

    This is a case where you need to learn how to drive your boat at low speeds. A little bit of practise goes a long way there is no magic prop for that.

    1993 70hp stumped!

    That makes sense you have an 1986 block because those compression #s would be high for a 93 block. Somebody replaced the block at one time or another no big deal. The carbs and ignition will work fine on it. Those motors were not the smoothest idling motors so dont expect a lot..
