    Can I put a 28 hp Johnson on my 14' Aluminum Sea King?

    Thanks jimmbo, This is what I'm afraid of! Doing all of this work then being underpowered! If I do the calculation on the Sea King, it's rated for 15 hp max. but I think that would still be underpowered. What's the reality of putting an outboard on her that's beyond the power rating? I see...

    Can I put a 28 hp Johnson on my 14' Aluminum Sea King?

    Thanks aspeck, Yes, it's a controls boat. Just worried that the weight would sink the back too much into the water, but I'll be up front and just have kiddos, batteries and tank at the back. Based on my calculations, it's rated for a 15 hp, but not sure if I calculated properly.

    Can I put a 28 hp Johnson on my 14' Aluminum Sea King?

    HI all, I have a 2004 Johnson 9.9 hp 4 stroke slated to go on my 14' Seaking. I have the opportunity to purchase a 1987 Johnson 28 hp Johnson 2 stroke with controls and all, complete. Tempting. The 9.9 weighs about 84-93 lbs, while the 28 weighs about 130-170 lbs. Which is the better motor...

    Wiring my 14’ sea king from scratch….help!

    Glad it can be paired down. I am not running much: nav lights, fish finder and some chargers probably. I will have a trolling motor eventually though. No, you’re not missing something. Just a ‘it’s my first boat’ guy and learning a lot!

    Wiring my 14’ sea king from scratch….help!

    I’m glad I’ve outlined the worst case and can pair down! Thank you for the advice. I am planning to have a trolling motor, but might not be right away, but may plan to expand to a two battery system. I’ve seen some people even say to just have a single house battery and just pull start every time!

    Wiring my 14’ sea king from scratch….help!

    These are the two I’m looking at. Any reason anyone sees what the advantage of the split positive version would be?

    Wiring my 14’ sea king from scratch….help!

    Dumb question, but in my case then should I consider a dual purpose battery and just use the pull start on the motor if I get into a jam?

    Wiring my 14’ sea king from scratch….help!

    Hi all! I am having my 14’ Sea King repainted as we speak and am starting to think about the electrical. I have a 2004 Johnson 9.9hp outboard that draws about 7 amps. I would like to do a 2-battery setup (house and Crank) and am having trouble figuring out the wiring. I would like to use the...

    Help needed selecting a controller

    Hi all! I’m trying to pair my 2004 Johnson 9.9hp outboard with a controller. I’m putting the engine in my 1960 runabout, so I’d like to use the controller for shift and throttle only and put the ignition and kill switch, etc. on the dash, like it was back then. Question is, can I use this...

    Flex Seal on a Leaky Aluminum Boat?

    Do you know if one is superior to the other? The Glove-it is about 4 times the cost of the Coat-it! :)

    Flex Seal on a Leaky Aluminum Boat?

    I just picked up a 14’ aluminum Sea King. I’ve been thinking I need to re-coat the inside just because it’s time and right now it’s all fully accessible, including a hatch to access the bow. Also, I put it in the water today and some water came inside. I’m sure there are leaky rivets throughout...

    2004 Johnson 9.9hp Bombardier with no model tag on the transom clamp. Help!!

    So who do I go to to get harnesses, cowl clips, etc.? Can I just walk into a Suzuki boat dealer and ask for the parts department? I am really after a wiring harness (you can see in the photos that the wires coming off of the Power Unit have been cut) and a set of proper controls. I bought the...

    2004 Johnson 9.9hp Bombardier with no model tag on the transom clamp. Help!!

    Hi all, I have a 2004 Johnson 9.9hp Bombardier with no model tag on the transom clamp. I have located the Welch plug on the block, but it reads 22 031507 which I think is just the serial number. Is there any other way to id the model number?

    Proper Controls for Johnson 9.9 HP 4 stroke

    I've got a 1960 Sea King 14' with a 2004 Johnson 9.9hp 4-stroke engine. What controls should I use. I've got a Mercontrol, but I don't believe it will work.
