    15hp Evinrude impeller replacement

    Model # 15904E I am replacing the impeller on my old 15hp Evinrude. I have lowered the lower end and noticed 2 things. The shift rod has a bend on the lower inch or so where it goes into the connector, is this normal? (I have only used the motor once and it did seem to shift F-N-R okay) and...

    1966 Johnson - start up

    I'm shopping for a 15-20HP motor and my budget is restricted. I've come across a Johnson 20 HP Mod. # FD200 Ser. # 12677618 , supposedly from 1966. The owner has had it since 1990 as a backup motor, and it was hardly used and has been in storage the past few years. Compression test was 120 each...

    I have an Avon Supersport S4-00. (13ft, Hypalon hull, inflatable keel, wood transom, aluminum floor) The transom is rated up to 40hp, so I know power is not a problem, but I was wondering about using the boat for towing a tube or kneeboard. Can I just mount some heavy eye bolts through the...

    fuel pump rebuild

    I bought the fuel pump kit for my 4hp Johnson Seahorse (1978 I think, Model 4W78E) I was wondering if there is somewhere online where I can find an assembly diagram to make sure I have put this back together the right way. I think I put it together the same way I pulled it apart, but I'd like to...

    fuel pump bad?

    I just bought a low hours 4hp Johnson model 4W78E. I have yet to attempt starting it, but the guy I bought it from(my neighbor) said it was running fine, but then the only way he could keep it running was if he manually pumped the gas with the bulb/ball on the fuel line - it would not pump the...

    Avon aluminum floor board removal

    I recently purchased a used Avon Supersport S4-00 (1989 , inflatable keel). The boat has nice aluminum floor panels that fit into an aluminum track. I have no idea on how to remove the floor so the boat can be deflated for storage. The boat sits on a small trailer right now, but i would like to...
