    91 Yamaha Wavrerunner with no spark

    I just aquired a 1991 Yahama waverunner with the 650 in it. It turns over but never fires. Pulled the plugs and checked for sparke but none. I did accidently reverse the leader with my battery booster hooked directly to the leads (no battery) at first. Could that have blown the rectifier or...

    Question on replacing transom

    I just aquired this boat today and the transom is rotted so the whole thing needs replacing. There are two braces holding the transom. There are no sheers or chines - the sides of the boat is just fiberglass. So once I cut out the transom, are the two braces and fiberglassing it to the sides...

    Looking for picture of outboard and remote steering setup

    Does anyone have a zoomed in picture of an outboard such as a 25hp with remote steering hooked up? And one that uses a transom mount for the cable support tube? Just wanted to see it all assembled.

    Steering added with CMC Transom Mount - Question

    Hi, I'm ready now to add remote steering to my boat. It was in the shop getting a new power pack, carb rebuild, etc. on my 1985 Johnson 25hp. Only $214 for all including labor - not bad! Anyways, I asked the guy there about adding remote steering at the motor end and he said with the motor set...

    Transom mount for Teleflex steering

    Hi, If you get a Teleflex steering set like ones shown on ebay for around $120, I assume I still need a transom mount kit for it right? I could not believe the price of the mount kit - they are more than the steering kit itself! Does anyone have another solution? Has anyone made their own...

    What is the Dished Degrees of a steering wheel?

    Hi, I am looking at a steering wheel on ebay to buy but do not understand what they mean by "dished to 25 degrees". They have some at 25 and some at 10 degrees. Is that the angle from the center of the wheel to the outter wheel where the 10 degree one would be more flat than the 25 degree one...

    What is that piece above the prop?

    My neighbor has a small fin looking part behind the prop on his Johnson 40. My Johnson 25 does not. I asked him why my motor would be pulling to one side. My skeg is not bent either. He asked if I was missing that part. Looks like something you can use to align the flow after the prop like a...

    Do you know the year and oil ratio of my Johnson?

    The model on my Johnson 25 2 stroke is J25RLC0S. My neighbor says he thinks its a 95 model. As far as the gas oil ratio, everyone says 50:1 on this site for this year, etc. But I have a decal that says 100:1 on my motor right next to the fuel connector. Thanks Warren

    Can I use my long shaft on this boat?

    I just picked up a 14" skiff type boat to use this summer. The transom is measured at 17 1/2" height. I have the Johnson 25 hp long shaft. Can I use it fine? Or do I need to add one of those mini-jackers to mount the motor on that will raise it about 4"? Will the performance or drag really...

    Making my Johnson 25 remote steering

    Hi, I have a 1995 Johnson 25 hp with tiller control right now. I plan to buy one of those Teleflex steering kits for about $110 for remote steering. What will I need to get for the Johnson to connet the steering cable to it? Also, will I need anything extra for the throttle as well? It seems...

    Broken transom clamp - can I bolt instead?

    I have a 95 model Johnson 25hp I got recently. One of the clamps is broken on one side. A neighbor told me instead of replacing it, just drill two holes in the boat with the ones on the motor and bolt it. You can see the holes I am referring to in the pics below. Thanks!

    68 Johnson 9.5 How to adjust carb?

    I have a Johnson 9.5 model MQ-14E. I believe this is a 68? Anyways, I just put new plugs in it - old ones were in bad shape! I checked the fuel filter - looks good. When it runs, it does great at higher RPMs but it will not idle down. Just cuts off. Then i have to pump the bulb and even choke...

    Johnson 9.5 dripped oil when pulled out - why?

    I have an early 70s Johnson 9.5 that I ran in a tank some this week. I pulled it out and sat it on my driveway. Came back an hour later and some black oil was in a 2-3 inch diameter at the foot. I can't tell if it came from the enhaust area, the oil screw or where. I assume this is bad to...

    What year are Johnson 20 available up to?

    Does anyone know what years the 20hp was made till or do they still make that size? I thought now they do 25hp size. The reason I ask is tomorrow I'm going to look at a Johnson 20hp to possibly buy and the guy said it looks like an early 90s model. He said it also has electric start on it...

    Trouble starting Johnson 9.5 after running

    I just aquired a Johnson 9.5 outboard from the early 70s. It looks in great condition. And when i crank it, it cranks on the first pull. After running it any length of time, when it cuts off or turns off by me, its hard to crank again. Sometimes I have to pull the choke out and push it in, etc...

    Steering kit for 70s Johnson 9.5?

    Hi, I know they sell steering conversion kits for many small outboards. But is there anything I can get for a Johnson 9.5 from the 70s? I would really only care to steer it with a wheel and could use the tiller for the throttle still. I tried searching but no luck yet. I have the Johnson on a...
