    Clogged water passage.

    I have a 1995 Model J150EXEOM sn G03788662. I believe the water passage from the rinse out port on it's way to the lower unit is plugged. When the hose is connected it is very hard like there is a blockage. It's starbord sided twin flows freely. What is the best way to clean out this passage...

    I've got twin JOhnsons I'd like to refinish over the winter. I've used Ameron and Amerflynt automotive finishes in the past and they seem to blow dooors on the spray can finishes available from Johnson. Anyone try this? Which would work best. I want a hard long lasting finish that will...

    Engine Paint Recommendations

    Looking to refinish the paint and decals on my motor this winter. I've been reading all the threads I can find and most suggest zinc chromate and the marine spray paints. I've used these in the past and they never seem to be as good (or as durable) as a factory finish. I'm considering using a...

    1995 150 Prop shaft play

    ONe of my 1995 Johnson 150's has slome play in the prop shaft. By that I mean if I pull on the prop it will move about 1/8 of an inch. The other has very little play. Motor has around 600 hours. Is there an acceptable amount of play or am I looking at a lower unit rebuild soon?

    Fuel Flow Gauge

    With twin 150 loopers, fuel costs have been soaring for me at around 200 hours a season. As such I've been looking for a fuel computer. I've read about the Navman 3100 and the FlowScan models. I'm really looking for an accurate readout of what I have left, how far it will take me and optimum...

    Estero Bay boaters

    Here in Florida there is a large very shallow bay. The channel is clearly marked and 30 mph but too shallow for most larger craft. There is a narrow "privately" marked channel that follows the shoreline where depth is sufficient for larger boats to cruise through while on a plane. Come off a...

    Erratic Tac

    1995 Johnson 150 twin's -- Dual batterys, battery switches, etc.-- essentially factory wiring. Dual tachs often register higher than actual RPMs. Tapping Tach'S will make needle jump then eventually read correct RPMs. This will happen to both tachs, sometimes at the same time, sometimes...

    1995 150 Looper -Carbs leaking fuel?

The bowls have small ball bearings on the sides of them and the recess where the ball rests seem to always be wet with fuel. <br /><br />Inside the cowling at the bottom there is always a fuel/oil residue. If I hose it out the water always has...

    1995 150 's one rattles when run slower...

    As the topic says I have twin Johnson 150's. One will rattle when decelerating if it's the slower of the two motors. Could this be the clutch dogs? It never comes out of gear or rattles under acceleration or while crusing. Only while decelerating AND if it's the slower reving of the two.<br...
