    Jon Boat Transom replacement - fasteners?

    I need to replace a rotten transom on my 12ft jon. I don't own a rivet gun, so would like to replace the rivets with some sort of bolts. The rivets that will have to be replaced are, for the most part, above the waterline. However, with a small jon boat there is really no part of the hull that...

    Johnson AD-11 - correct motor cover?

    I have a 1957 AD-11 Johnson. The engine cover doesn't seem to be the same as others I've seen photos of.<br /><br />Mine is very worn, but the large "Johnson" decal down both sides is there.

    1957 Johnson 7.5 impeller /powerhead gasket

    It's an AD-11, 1957 Johnson 7.5 hp.<br /><br />I have to change the impeller. In reading the archives, I learned that the only way to disconnect the shift linkage was to remove the powerhead. I also learned that a gasket will have to be replaced when the powerhead is reinstalled, and many folks...

    4.5 hp - water on plugs, with new head gasket

    First post here... been out of boating for a long time. When I was last into boating, Chevy didn't even have a website. That give you an idea? :-) I own a 1958 Johnson 7.5 that runs like a top, and used to own a Glasstream bass boat with a 70hp Evinrude.<br /><br />I've now got a Johnson 4.5...
