    Re powering my boat and have a few questions

    My 15' runabout currently has a 25 HP Johnson outboard on it. I want to upgrade the motor to a higher HP since I feel it's not enough. Plus the hull is rated for up to a 60 HP motor. I have been thinking that around 40-50 HP would be perfect for what I want to do. I have been checking craigslist...

    cleaning my hull

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this thread so forgive me if it's not. I purchased a boat in the beginning of the summer. This is my first boat (besides a 12 ft johnboat) so I have got a couple scuffs and stains on it over the summer. The hull did have some scuffs and stuff on...

    Washing out motor after running in salt water

    I use my Johnson 25 HP in the bay. I have never ran it in freshwater. I like to try and wash the salt out of the motor as much as possible when I am done. I was just wondering how long should you run freshwater through the engine for? I usually do it for around 15-20 minutes or so. Not sure if...

    1991 Johnson 25 HP would like to get more power!!!!

    I have a 1991 Johnson 25 HP model # J25ELEID. I love the motor and it runs awesome with no issues at all. I would really like to get a little more power out of it if that's possible at all.

    1993 Evinrude 140 HP Leg Leaking Water

    I am looking to upgrade to a bigger sized boat. I found a guy who is willing to trade my boat with a little bit of $ for his 20 ft with a 140 HP Evinrude. Now everything is great on the boat, the motor runs and it pumps water and goes into gear well. Except there is water coming out of the leg...

    Help Identifying part on johnson 25 hp

    Please inform me on what this screw on the carb does. The one in question is the one with the red ring around it in the picture. My father decided it would be a good idea to play with it without knowing what it was since my motor was idling a little rough. It seems to be idling even more rough...

    SOLVED 1991 Johnson 25 HP Firing On Both Cylinders?

    I have a 1991 Johnson 25 HP model # J25ELEID. I am pretty sure I should be getting more power out of this motor then I am as of right now. It's on a 15 foot West Wind Aerodyne and I am only getting about 20 MPH out of her if I'm lucky. I'm having the carb cleaned out and rebuilt tomorrow but I...

    1991 Johnson 25 HP issue

    Well today, I brought my recently purchased 25 hp Johnson out to the bay. I got out of the marina and gave it some throttle and all was fine. I was moving surprisingly well and was very satisfied. Well I realized I left a fishing pole in one of the holders and wanted to stop to take it out so it...

    1990 Johnson 25 HP shift cable

    Hey everyone, I just recently purchased a 15 ft fiberglass boat with a 25 hp Johnson outboard on it. You can tell the shift cable (that puts the motor in reverse or foward) is becoming pretty shot. The outer black covering of the cable is shot and you can see the actual cable coming through it...
