    Outboard Jet Drive

    I am no expert on this subject Sea Rider.....but it is my understanding that the tunnel hull creates a column of water for the jet drive to operate in while underway....allowing the intake and large round bulb to be above the bottom of the hull while staying fully submerged and supplying thrust...

    Outboard Jet Drive

    I understand totally what you are saying Sea Rider....my intent was not to simply slap a jet onto my existing fiberglass fishing boat. Rather, I would be getting an all aluminum boat with built in tunnel hull, taller transom height, and hydraulic jack plate for the engine......a rig designed...

    Outboard Jet Drive

    "Plus it will get you places you would want to fish but would pass on with a prop final drive." Exactly what I'm talkin about.....thanks dwco for the input. (y)

    Outboard Jet Drive

    That's what this is all about, shallow water ability....and not breaking off a lower unit or destroying a prop. Definitely a trade off for sure, with the loss of HP for the jet drive, loss of steering control if engine stops, and loosing the "grip" that props have. Thanks F.I.D.S. for the reply.

    1982 15HP Johnson

    "Good enough for government work" is a common phrase here that basically means "close enough" or "not exact but will work"....a phrase used in jest to make fun of government inefficiency and sloppiness. I guess in Canada it doesn't have the same meaning, lol. Thanks for the reply!

    1982 15HP Johnson

    Been looking for a service manual for this '82 Johnson 15HP.....not having much luck....would a manual for a 1980 or 1981 be close enough for government work? Model# J15RCNC Thanks.

    Year model

    Thanks racer....this motor didn't have very many hours on it before my brother let it sit up.....if I get it in good running condition could you give me an educated ballpark guess on it's current value? Just talked to my bro and he found the title, so paperwork is good.

    Year model

    Am resurrecting on old Johnson 15HP that has been sitting up for many years. Model# J15RCNC Serial# E5619207. As far as I can tell it is a 1982 year model, based on google search...the last 3 letters of the model #.... the C=8 N=2 and the last C is the model run. Is this correct? Thanks.

    Outboard Jet Drive

    Need some info/advice about these outboard jet motors.....am considering getting a 17-18 foot all aluminum tunnel hull jet for running up rivers and creeks, places you wouldn't want to take a conventional prop boat. Engines like a Merc or Yamaha 90/65 Jet. Besides the loss of 25 HP due to the...

    1995 90HP Force Outboard Fuel Starvation

    "10. I can NOT stress this enough! NEVER set the low speed needles less that 1 turns out no matter how poor the idle or acceleration. To do so will run the engine too lean and detonation and melted pistons at or near full throttle operation will result." This statement has led to several...

    Transducer interference

    The Hook series was designed as an entry level/cheaper version at a lower price point......they look great but don't have the processing speed needed for fast operation. Period.
