    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...

    OMC Portable Gas Tank Venting

    I have an early 60's non-pressurized single line 5 imperial (6 U.S.) gallon tank. Recently while transporting it with fuel inside it just seeped fuel out the whole time. I did not have the hose on it at the time. Fumes were so strong that I will not use this tank until the issue is resolved. It...

    What paint for '58 Johnson medallion?

    Today I picked up a few items for my newly acquired 50 year-old Johnson 7?. One thing I got a hold of is a newly molded plastic medallion for the front of the cowling. It is clear and unpainted. I was wondering what paint people have used to paint the backside of the medallion to get the gold...

    Interchangeability between 7.5 & 6 lower units

    I?m curious as to just how interchangable the lower unit (case and all internals) are between the 1956 ? 58 Johnson / Evinrude 7 ?, 1956 ? 64 Johnson / Evinrude 5 ?, and the later 1965 ? 1979 Johnson / Evinrude 6. They look identical. It is a fact that the 5? & 7? shared the same lower unit...

    Bronze-bushed powerhead bearings

    Hello all. I am considering the purchase of a 1958 Johnson AD-12 7.5 horse motor. I am told it runs well. After learning about the dangers of getting a motor with excessive crank to main bearing clearance I am curious on how to check for such issues without tearing into it. Do I look for a motor...
