    No spark

    I have a 1966 40 hp Johnson that I can't get running. I checked it for spark and there was none. I changed the coils and cutout switch.

    Rings & Bearings for old motor

    I have a 1956 Johnson 10HP and the cyl pressure is a little low. The motor looks great. I have rebuilt motors before but being as old as it is I'm wondering if I can get the parts. I will be needing rings, bearings, gaskets etc. Is it possible to do this or should I stop before I waste my time?

    Gel coat application

    I need to know if gel coat can be applied with a roller. I know it is usually sprayed on but I am told it is very difficult to do. Has anyone ever rolled this stuff on? How much sanding is required if you do apply it with anything but spraying?

    Can't shift after water pump installation

    After installing a new impeller in my water pump on my outboard, I can't get it to shift. I have a 1975 65 HP mercury. It went back together fine bolted up but does not shift. If I spin the prop it will only click. Let me know what the deal is, thanks.
