    Older Johnson, Missing Model, Serial number transom mount tag

    Re: Older Johnson, Missing Model, Serial number transom mount tag That motor looks exactly like my 1967 Johnson 9?, model MQ-13. My powerhead "button" has a different number from yours, starting with a C, probably because mine is Canadian-built in Peterborough. The 1967 models use a different...

    Johnson 5HP Seahorse

    Re: Johnson 5HP Seahorse To give you an idea about the low speed needle (or gas valve as you call it) at the front of the motor (the little L rod) & high speed needle adjustment on the carburator, take a look at the attachment below. It is from a 1940s Johnson TS/TD manual (5 horse) but the HD...

    Head gasket source for Johnson AD-12

    Hey all, I have noticed that the head gasket for my 1958 Johnson 7? is a hard to find item. Apparently a previous owner found that to be true also, since they used some black "Squeeze A Gasket" in place of one. 2 questions: a) where do I find a new head gasket? b) how do I clean the black...

    questions for restoring my 76 evinrude 9.9

    Re: questions for restoring my 76 evinrude 9.9 Sheizer, welcome to i-Boats! I also definitely recommend nymarine as was suggest by previous posters. Peter at nymarine has very recently added the correct rubber seal material for your cowling. He has also added a bunch of 1970s vintage Evinrude...

    Hi I just bought a 1965 9.5 Johnson

    Re: Hi I just bought a 1965 9.5 Johnson Dad bought a 1965 Johnson 9.5 new and used it a lot until he got a bigger boat. He kept the 9.5 for duck hunting and finally gave it to a friend in 2007. It always ran great, never gave any problems and was more reliable than the sun. It also looked like...

    Fogging a 1976 Johnson 15

    I'll keep this simple. OMC states in the owner?s manual that they want me to remove the low speed knob and rapidly inject OMC rust preventative oil until the motor stops. So let me clarify this, with the motor running I need to pry off the low speed knob, then unscrew the low speed shaft that...

    Unusual water outlet on 1967 9? Johnson?

    I finally got around to fogging my newly acquired 1967 Johnson 9? MQ-13. I ran some fresh gas/oil mix probably closer to 40:1. It started right up in my bucket but I feel that it ran a little rough (I didn?t even change the plugs). My question is: is it normal for water to appear out from...

    Part # reference material or source for the same

    Is there a logical way to look up part numbers and cross-reference them? I see part numbers shown on auctions but since I can?t tell what the part #s are for; it is all cryptic. Do I need to find an old OMC parts book or get a hold of an old microfiche machine and the associated microfiche...

    Pressure to ban older outboards

    Like it or not, agree with it or not, Australia is looking to be the latest country to actually ban the importation of older used 2-stroke outboard motors. Check out this link: http://www.brp.com/en-AU/about-us/newsroom/News-Details.html?ArticleID=de52cda5-2543-4b8f-980b-63cacea73608 To me...

    Source for model TN impeller

    I don't need one currently, but does anyone have a source for an impeller for a Johnson TN-25 through TN-28? I have been searching all over for Johnson part # 375688. Crowley Marine showed the part, but as unavailable. If it were for a 1954 5?, no problem! As another aside, for a float what...

    Aluminum boat with possible minor hull damage

    There is a cartop boat I am considering. When I look at the pictures in the ad something jumps out at me. I can see the upper starboard side of the boat towards the rear appears to be slightly pushed in. Looking at another photo I can see a slight distortion of the gunwale extrusions at that...

    Story of extreme overloading (sorry, no pics)

    I saw something a few weeks back that just left me shaking my head. I am sorry that I didn?t bring a camera with me. I was out for a nice long walk and decided to walk by a boat launch. It?s not really an official boat launch, just a section of beach on a causeway that people use successfully...

    Tow rating of a VW Passat V6, vs a roof rack

    Rather than tag along and steal a thread from the ?Tow rating of a VW Jetta TDI wagon? thread I decided to start another in a similar vein but with a slightly different central question. I have a 2003 VW Passat wagon with a V6 and a 5-speed manual. I am trying to find a carrier that is wide...

    At last, my TN-26 is restored! (pics)

    I just had to share. I just picked up my 1950 Johnson 5-horse from North York Marine (nymarine.ca) 15 months after dropping it off for a total restoration. The original powerhead had too much clearance between the crank journals and the bronze bushings, so Peter found a TN-28 block that was a...

    Which clamps for fuel line hose?

    I picked up a spare pressurized tank (6 U.S. / 5 Imperial gallon) on e-Bay and I need to replace the double hose (which I did.) There were no clamps on the original hose on the tank. Does anyone have a source for the original type clamps? If not available, should I just check the local BRP parts...

    Chunk out of midsection, 58 Johnson 7.5

    I've got a little chunk out of my midsection at the flange to the lower unit. No leaks or stress cracks resulted. Take a look at the attachment and tell me if I am better off repairing it or finding a replacement midsction. If a repair will work, what will work, JB Weld? Thanks for any...

    Part # for 1958 Johnson 7.5 Shift Dog

    Is the shift dog for a 1958 Johnson / Evinrude 7.5 (& 5.5) the same as a 1956-57? I show Part # 376078 for 1956 but don't have a '58 Parts Book. Did that shift dog carry through the last of the 1964 5.5s? The 1965 6-horse? Thanks for any help.

    Generator for electric start 18-20-25?

    From what I have seen, the 18-20-25 horse Johnsons & Evinrudes through 1976 never offered any generator or alternator for the electric start versions. Does anybody out there know of a practical generator or alternator that can be used on one of these 22.09 c.i. powerheads? I assume the big old...

    Need photos for tank decals to be made up

    I am looking for a correct pair of decals to apply to my 1971 Evinrude 3 U.S. gallon (2? Imperial) gas tank. I am not finding them for the era in question. All that I can find are decals for the older pressurized tanks. Besides having different graphics, the tanks also came in different...
