    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    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.

    I have been seeing 6 hp Evinrude "fisherman" motors in my area for $250-$400. I thought about getting one of those as a kicker, but they seem to be hard to find in long shaft. I thought about something like that vs 9.9 and i'm not sure which size would be best.

    That's probably a reasonable place to start. I do have both oars and an electric trolley motor

    Hello! I am new to the forum and this is my first post. My name is Rob, and I am a smallmouth fisherman from Greenwood, Indiana.
