    Gas problem

    I have a pontoon with a 1982 Evinrude 90 hp motor. It has a 6 gallon metal tank under the back seat and a 12 gallon metal square shaped tank sitting on the back. The 6 gallon is easy to remove, just pick it up, but the 12 gallon is there to stay without some major rebuilding to get it back on...

    pontoon hard to steer

    Hi Y'all, I have a 24 ft. 1985 Harris Flotebote with a 90 HP Evinrude on it. The steering is extremely difficult. I took the cable loose from the motor and the motor turns very easily. Tried turning the wheel with the motor unhooked and it was still very difficult. I took the cable loose from...

    Johnson 90 tach question, please help

    Tachometer question

    Please excuse a dumb question, but will just any tach work on a Johnson V4 115 engine? Are tachs designed for particular engines, or will one for a 4 cyl car or a Suzuki outboard work the same as one specifically for my engine? Thank you in advance for your help.

    Which manual for 115 Johnson 1979?

    Which manual has the most and best info for a 1979 115 horse Johnson? I have a Clymer 46 to 140, 1965 to 1981 manual, but it has very little info on my particular motor. There has to be a better one than this. I realize that the Seloc manuals are better than the Clymers, but which particular...

    strange spark plug problem

    I have a pontoon with a 79 115 hp Johnson V4 on it. I took the boat out and was cruising along at close to top speed, motor running sweet and smooth. Suddenly it sounded like one will when it runs out of gas, spluttering and missing. I limped back to the dock, brought it home and pulled the...

    1979 115 Johnson starter problem

    When starting, the starter works, but there is a loud whining noise until the motor actually cranks. It sounds like when you try to start a motor that is already running. Any ideas? The teeth on the bendix appear to have only a little wear right at the top. Also, this motor seems to be very cold...

    Hello, I am finally the proud owner of a foot controlled 12/24 volt trolling motor. It is an OMC model OBFL4A. I bought it used and of course it did not come with instructions. It has a 4 prong plug in which I assume plugged perfectly into a plug in built into the bass boat it came off of. I am...

    125 merc 1970 gear problem

    Hello,<br /><br />I am considering buying a boat that has a 1970 model 125 Mercury on it. The motor runs great and goes just fine in forward, but when in reverse, little or nothing happens. The owner says he jerked it quickly into reverse from forward and caused the problem.<br /><br />Any help...
