    Carlisle or Loadstar?

    In my tire size: 20.5x8.0-10 It's looking like I have limited choices. Loadstar K550's or Carlisles. I presently have load range D's. I'll probably be moving up to load range E. My delimina...Loadstars which seem to have a good following here are $51.50 each (tires only) or Carlisles which seem...

    1973 85hp Motor cover seal

    I have a 1973 85hp that I'm slowly taking care of different things that have been neglected or rigged by the previous owner. My motor cover seal is hard and missing parts of it as I'm sure most this old will be. I'm having no luck finding a replacement. The OEM part # appears to be 0315168 per...

    Small trailer tire choices?

    With warmer weather teasing me with little spurts here and there I'm getting the bug to start getting started prepping for spring boating. I was out getting my tire size so as to order a spare which I never seemed to get around to ordering last year. I'm noticing some weather cracks radially...

    I have a remote control that has the black clip (lock?) broken on the end of my fast idle lever. I keeps the fast idle lever in the run position when not on or in use. Johnson seems to only offer the whole lever for $60. The black end clip is retained by 2 screws and would seem to come off and...

    1973 85hp control box question

    I am restoring/rebuilding a JC pontoon I bought last year. It has a 1973 85hp Johnson which runs pretty good. I recently installed a tach to monitor the rpm's so I could tell if I need to change props. Well I figured out one thing. I'm crusing across the lake at 2,000 rpm! Further digging...
