    Coil/Power Pack Question

    I'm afraid I have some bad Coils, I cannot get them to spark at a 7/16" gap which is what I was told they need to do. I can get them to spark at 1/4" but it is not very bright. Would these spark at all if the Power Packs were bad? Would they spark at all if they were bad? I have read somewhere...

    Bass Boat Decking ?'s

    I have a 1986 Astroglass 17' 5" bass boat that has a soft spot in the floor close to the front deck. I want to extend the deck back to the console but not sure if I should fix the soft spot or just build over it. If I build over it I was planning on laying some aluminum down for the flooring of...

    Bass Boat, Is it just me?

    Ok, so is it just me or do Bass boats seem to want to take on water when stopping?

    I've got another thread on this motor but this is a different problem and I wanted you all to see it. The motor runs (With the exception of a miss) pretty good out of water and in. It will go in gear (forward & reverse) good out of water. I took it to the lake today, started fine, had to set the...

    1985 Evinrude 150xp Problems

    I just bought a used boat for my son who is on the Bass fishing team at his high school. I went to look at it yesterday, heard it run, it was running a little rough and the guy told me it needed plugs, he told me that he replaced the power packs and they do look new. Bought plugs, check all to...

    Drive Shaft Removal?

    I have a 1976 Johnson 40HP motor. Is there a trick to removing the drive shaft? Father in Law said it should just slide out but it seems to be stuck, thought maybe something was holding it in place? Also, it looks like it is two pieces, one going up into the other...may just be the way it is made?

    Switches? Starter, Kill Switch, etc.

    Looking for some ideas on switches for my boat. Need one for the starter with a choke (Keyed or maybe 2 push buttons, one for choke, one for the starter?) Safety Kill switch, kill switch if it's a push button start? Hook me up with some ideas. The motor is a 1976 Johnson 40HP.

    Anyone know the wiring diagram on a 1976 40HP Johnson? I know the wires for the battery (That's a no brainer) but the other smaller wires I have no idea about what they are or where they go :facepalm: Anybody? Thanks in advance :)
