    15HP Johnson - Will Not Start

    It doesn't look like the clip exists on my engine. Is it possible to bypass for testing? If so, how would I go about doing this? Here's what it looks like (please excuse the mess from all the stuff from my boat in the background):

    15HP Johnson - Will Not Start

    I purchased a 15 horse 1991 Johnson long shaft outboard engine, model J15REIA, at a garage sale over the summer that did not start. According to the guy I bought it from, it ran fine the last time it was in the water, but had sat for several years without being run. It turns over fine, so I...

    Minn Kota Vector 55 - Armature Removal?

    A friend kicked his outboard into high gear after he was done fishing without checking his trolling motor, resulting in the motor being broken off his boat because it was still down. The trolling motor spent 3-4 weeks at the bottom of the lake before I went out with him to the area with my...

    Trolling Motor - Breaker Needed???

    A 30 pound thrust transom mount trolling motor came with my used 14' aluminum fishing boat when I bought it. The ends of the wires had clamps on, which I just connected to the posts of the 12 volt battery I kept in the back of the boat. Used it for 8-10 years without any problems. That...

    Trolling Motor Troubleshooting

    I have a MinnKota 36 pound thrust that came with my boat when I bought it used. The trolling motor quit working several years ago and I put it in the corner of the workshop to fix at a later date. Well, I'm sick of looking at it and it's either going to be fixed or junked. What's worse is...

    Starter Gear Spins - Will Not Engage

    I have a 25 horse Evinrude on my 14' aluminum fishing boat, model number E25TECOS. The last trip out last fall, the engine started fine and my father and I went out on Saginaw Bay to fish perch. We were anchored, but it was quite windy and we drifted out of the school. I went to start the...

    '86 Evinrude 25HP Lower Unit Removal

    Last fall, my engine stopped peeing at low speed. I bought a water pump repair kit from here a few months ago and got a manual for my engine. I put off changing the water pump all winter because I've never done anything like it before and was more than a little apprehensive about it. The nice...

    1985 25 HP Evinrude - Stops Peeing at Low Speed

    I bought my boat used. It's a 14' aluminum Mirrocraft with the front 3' enclosed and has a 25 horse Evinrude on the back. (Model number E25TECOS - a 1985 model according to this site.) The guy I got it from didn't do anything to the boat or engine for at least 8 years; it was actually level...
