    Trolling motor pivot pin

    I have a 2005 MinnKota Vector 55 3x trolling motor. The problem I have is the pivot pin (#33) tends to slide out. I just tap it back in place but it’s getting to be annoying. Any ideas to solve this?

    DF30 LU removal

    The procedure looks straight forward and similar to OMC motors I’ve owned in the past. Just wondering if there are any gotchas? This will be my first water pump change on this motor and want to do it right. Thanks in advance for your help.

    DF30A oil filter change

    I read in the owners manual says the oil filter should be changed by a Suzuki dealer. I plan to let the dealer do it, but do you know any reason why this isn't a DIY? Thanks. jasper

    fuel pump diaphragm?

    I'm looking to replace the fuel pump on my '88 30 HP Johnson. The donor is from a '87 30 HP Evinrude. After looking up the part, I see everything is the same between the two assemblies except for the diaphragm (0334640 vs. 0332678). Any idea what the difference is? I would rather swap out the...

    I noticed small red flakes as I was draining my metal 6 gallon fuel tank (for the second time). I'm assuming its flaking from the inside. I was wondering is there a fix for this? jasper

    307551 slotted head drain/fill plugs obsolete?

    I ordered a couple 307551 plug/washers, but was a little surprised when I received a socket head screw. Boats.net says the OEM slotted head screw is obsolete. The manufacturer superseded the part with a socket head screw. Has anyone else encountered this when ordering the OEM part? Can you still...

    clean carb w/o a compressor?

    Well, I never done a carb before, but now I may have to. I don't own a compressor except for a 12V tire pump. edit: Even with the small nozzle attached it doesn't blow hard enough. Can you use the spray carb cleaner to blow it out, or do you have to use a compressor? jasper

    rope starter busted spring

    '81 Johnson 25 hp. Tried to start motor this morning and it wouldn't recoil. Never had a problem before. Anyway, I opened it up and found a broken spring. Before I order the part, I wanted to know should I replace anything else? The pawl seems to operate like it should. As I said before I...

    '81 J25hp shudder problem (video)

    Runs like the wind, but just above idle it shudders and vibrates quite a bit. Notice shuddering at the start. Also at 1:27, 2:23, 3:30. FYI. New L77JC4 plugs gapped at .30. Also, I tried adjusting idle. It doesn't idle as smooth as I would like. It seems the initial setting works best...

    plugged deflector hose?

    Noticed one of the deflector hoses is plugged? Looks like a piece of plastic shoved in there intentionally. Is water suppose to flow through the deflector hose? I won't worry about it if it doesn't affect anything.

    Scotch-Grip #847 or Scotch-Weld #847 ?

    I ordered 3M Scotch-Grip 847 Rubber and Gasket Adhesive, but I received 3M Scotch-Weld 847 Nitrile high-performance Rubber and Gasket Adhesive. Both products come in a 5 oz. tube. I know Scotch-Grip is recommended as a gasket sealer for marine applications. Scotch-Weld 847 description...

    30hp 1988 - Cylinder head replacement

    Got myself a J30TELCCE (1988). The excitement quickly wore off though. I stripped the top spark plug hole! Anyway after several days of kicking myself I decided to bite the bullet and replace the cylinder head. After I got the head off this evening I discovered how I stripped the spark plug...

    water pump gasket sealer

    Putting on a new water pump kit and just need some clarification. The manual says apply some gasket sealer to the impeller plate gaskets. FYI, j25hp '81 and the kit comes with 2 gaskets, wp housing, etc. Do I have to apply sealer between the water pump housing and gasket as well? I would...

    no seal on water pump housing?

    I noticed on some motors (from the 60s) do not have a water pump seal, but the more modern johnny/rudes do. It appears BRP reverted back to a seal-less type water pump on my motor ('81 j25hp). See pic below, notice there's no seal between the impeller housing (#14) and cup (#63). FYI...

    advoid breaking the grease nipple

    I just got done lubricating my outboard and I almost had a bad experience. My grease gun nozzle got stuck on the grease nipple. Anyway, I pulled and pulled without success. Then I started unscrewing the nozzle from the gun and that's when it released. So the moral of the story is not to pull...

    1962 Johnson 28 hp project

    I know she's far from ready, but I wanted to post a video of her idling. Not pretty to look at, but wow she pumps good water! I replaced the impeller. Also, I resealed the lower unit, but she is still making milk shake. I believe the Permatex Aviation sealer is what failed. I will use 3M...

    right prop size for my boat

    Hi, All. I was hoping you can help me choose the best prop for my boat. The motor runs fine and the boat planes, but its not reaching the WOT operating RPM range. The performance data I provide is based on me riding alone and that will normally be the case. Do you think I should step down to...
