    50 hp johnson bigger prop

    While tuning my motor (50ESL74M) I accidentally hit the gear lever and threw it in reverse in the water barrel. Needless to say, prop and barrel are no longer useable. I have a replacement but it is bigger. About 1" more dia. but appears to be same pitch. Hypothetically, how would this prop act...

    50ESL74M stator/power pack test

    I just replaced the rectifier, ignition coils, plugs, and wires on my 74 Johnson 50. It started and died one time. Then I get no fire at the plugs. Re-checked wiring and grounds, still nothing. I'm thinking power pack, stator/charge coil, or key switch. I know to disconnect the stop circuit to...

    Recent PM to Joe Reeves, '77 25 Rude

    I just sent a PM to Joe Reeves regarding electrical components on my '77 Evinrude 25. I thought I was just asking a simple question but his reply to me could help anyone with just about any motor. I wanted to know how a motor with no points gets it's spark. Apparently the charge coil sends...

    Tach question

    I've been following the post by Rookie456 about a tach for his '72 Johnson 50 but didn't want to hijack his post. I also want to add a tach as well, but on three different motors. A '77 Evinrude 25 (25702H), a '74 Johnson 50 (50ESL74M), and a '70 Johnson 33 (33E70M). There were two people giving...

    Complete '73 Johnson 50hp...$50

    Hello again, just ran into an opportunity to pick up a 73 Johnson 50 for $50. It is complete, from controls to prop and not locked up. I'm thinking even if there are several things needing replaced (impeller, electronics, etc) it has to be worth a chance for only $50. It's hangin on a 14'...

    1970 johnson 33, no pee hole.

    I have a 70 Johnson 33 that has no pee hole. If it does not re-circ because water can't get out, how does it cool itself? It seems to me that if the water pump impeller puts water in then it has to go somewhere. Where does it go?? Does it go out the exhaust stream? If so, I am not good with...

    33 evinrude

    Can anyone who has a 33 possibly post some pics of their steering and throttle setup? I don't know if my motor was set up remote before I got it or not. I am used to a tiller arm but this does not have one. Just has the steering bracket in front. Do you just hold that to steer it or am I missing...

    evinrude 25 can't identify

    New here so hello to everyone. I have read and learned a lot from here in the past but can't find the answer I need now anywhere. My evinrude 25 (25702H) comes up as a 1977 model. I need a water pump impeller but the shaft and the impeller does not match what is supposed to be in that model. I'm...
