    Silt in the hull from flood ​d​a​m​age, how to remove?

    I live in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, and last August Hurricane Irene swept away my 1995 Key West 1900CC Sportsman (and trailer) about a mile downstream on what is usually a tiny creek that you can hop across and not even get wet. Neighbors tell me that in the height of the...

    Gearcase Help?

    Hello, the past couple of weeks my shifting has been getting wacky in my 1987 Johnson 90 HP V4. It first started with it not shifting into reverse consistently. It would click (loudly) like it was trying to engage, but would not always go into gear. Sometimes it would and then would pop out...

    Shifting Adjustment/Issues

    Greetings, I have a 1987 Johnson 90HP. I need to adjust the shifting, as it clicks (trying to engage) many times before it actually goes into gear. At that point the RPMs are up so it kinda jumps into gear at the same time. This makes docking and fishing in skinny water a challenge. I have...

    Very stiff shifting on 1987 90HP Johnson

    Greetings, I just splashed my new (to me) 1987 18' Cobia Saturday. It has a 1987 (I think) Johnson 90HP VRO 4 cylinder outboard. This engine has had the VRO system removed. Anyway the boat ran pretty good, but the one thing that annoyed me was how hard the shifting was. Yesterday I...

    Greetings, this is all in reference to my 1959 Evinrude 35HP Lark. It's been running fine, but all of a sudden I'm getting a loud band coming from the prop gears. I took them all apart and put them back together and it stopped for a little while but then continued again. The whole boat (14'...

    Replacment Steering Cable for Rope and Pulley design...

    Greetings, Last night was an eventful evening, my steering cable snapped on me (luckily at slow speeds in the harbor) and then my engine decided that it didn't like trolling at slow speeds and overheated (see other post). I was able to splice the cable to get me thru the evening, but I want...

    Glass Fuel Bowl and Filter questions in a 59 Lark

    Greetings, My 59 Lark is having some problems and I may have linked to a fuel one (at least it's a start). Is there supposed to be a rubber gasket or O ring that seats the glass bowl tight? I'm getting fuel squirting out when I prime the engine and when it attempts to run. I did have the...
