    Any reason why I shouldn't use this lower unit oil?

    My local fleet farm sells Mystik brand lower unit oil. On the back it states that it is compatible with OMC type C. My 1970 60hp johnson uses type c. Any reason why I shouldn't use this as opposed to the super expensive oem stuff?

    How to test the temperature switch

    My 1970 60hp johnson has a warning light on the control box if the engine gets too hot. I am in the process of adding a tell tale (thanks for the help with that guys) but I want to make sure that the warning light works too. I have located the switch (item# 74) on the power head group and it...

    Want to add tell tale (pee hole) on a 1970 60hp johnson

I get the idea that you want to tap into the water jacket (as high as possible) tap with 1/8" pipe thread, then install a...

    Might buy a 1970's 60hp VRO johnson with boat/trailer but I have some questions

    I have the opportunity to buy a 1970ish (he is not sure the exact year) 60hp VRO johnson. I would get a 16' starcraft and trailer with it which I don't need (already have a boat completely done just needs a motor, controls and steering). The price would be $750 for everything. This is what I...

    Duel line connector O rings replaced with Sierra O rings, too big??

    I am new here so first and foremost, hello! So I have two older 1950's evinrudes with the duel line connectors, one of them developed a leak because of faulty O-rings. I used a small pick to carefully pull out the old O rings on one of the connectors which came out pretty easy because they...
