    Looking for side vent (wing window) adjuster source

    I'm refreshing a '87 Manatee 18 ft. cuddy. It has a Water Bonnet windshield with side vent (wing) windows. I'm looking to replace the adjuster arms with the original style. They were sold under the brand name "Stern Safe", model WB-11. I saw them online (ebay seller) about 2 years ago but...

    Another alarm horn question, 1995 Johnson 112 non-VRO

    What causes the alarm to give the short beep when the ignition switch is turned to ON? I know the alarm sounds as the tan wire becomes ground when the temperature switch gets hot. I can't find anything in the wiring diagrams of the engine or remote control that shows how the alarm gets the...

    Will '97 90 hp VRO work on '95 112 hp?

    Can I swap a VRO system from a '97 90 hp Johnson onto a '95 Evinrude 112? This would be the complete system. I know they changed the electrical connectors on the motors in '96, so I might need to change that. Would there be any other differences? The parts catalog shows the same pump # for...

    Is a 1995 Johnson 112 really a stripped down 115?

    I'm looking at a 1995 Johnson 112 crossflow, model J112TSLEO for sale. Is this really just a 115 without VRO? What other differences are there, ie charging system, etc.? It has power tilt / trim. Would they have produced a motor with 3 less HP or was it just a marketing trick? It is very...

    '97 90 SPL VRO too much oil

    J90TSLEU, it seems the VRO is mixing way too much oil into the fuel. I first had trouble after running at cruise for 20 mins. then idling in neutral, it stalled after a minute or 2. It was hard to start, but by bumping the primer quickly with the high idle lever about half way up it started...

    Another erratic tach, '97 Johnson SPL

    I am trying to get a tach working on a new to me J90TSLEU. It has an unregulated charging system. I took a tach I had from a '89 Evinrude 40 hp and tried to use it. It had been acting erratically on the 40, usually reading way high randomly, then going back to normal. It did pretty much the...

    19' Manatee Cuddy OB, Worth Restoring?

    Looked today (very briefly) at a 19' (I think) Manatee Cuddy outboard boat that seems to be in good exterior condition. The HIN is MNT113210585 which leads me to think it is a 1985. Assuming the worst case that it needs a "stringer up" restoration, including transom core, deck, etc., would the...

    When I bought this engine used 8 yrs. ago, it had a nylon washer on the drain plug and a rubber o-ring on the vent plug, and I've replaced with same ever since. Is this correct? Or does it matter as long as one or the other is used? I can't tell from the parts catalog I have, it doesn't even...
