    elec shock

    Took my Johnson 150 for a test run today, seemed to run decent. Then I started getting elec shocks from the steering wheel and throttle control. It didn't seem to affect the way it ran. Any clues as to where I can look to trace this down?

    ...removing a bearing buddy How is it done? I took the wheel off but can't see how to get the BB out of the way, bearing feels rough (bumpy) when hand spun. The other side, I can pull the top of the wheel out 1/4 inch, not good eh? I think I'll just order new hubs w/ bearings etc.
