Looks to be a solid boat, but that is always hard to tell from pictures. Price tag is $500 with fish locator and trolling motor. Good Deal? Thank you, Josh
I have a 76 70 hp 3 cylinder. I have read the link below. I a just a little weary or drill and tapping a hole in the motor. Do I need to worry about pieces of aluminum falling into the water jacket? It looks like there is about a 1/4" of room before hitting the cylinder wall is that correct...
I guess I never paid that much attention to the lower unit but it has a crack on the very bottom towards the front. It is on the bottom side and is about 3-1/2" long. What is the best way to fix this without buying a lower unit. I know you can weld them but I want to make sure that is the way...
I have a 70's Venture bass boat with a 76 Johnson 70hp that I am putting a new console in. Since I am moving the console forward I need longer steering cables. The links below are ones that I am looking at on eBay but I am not sure if they will work or not. Any suggestions would be...
I have a 15.5ft 1970 Venture bass boat, with a 1978 70hp Johnson. I am wondering if the motor is to far in the water. The motor height seems to low to me. I was wondering how this would effect my performance. I can move the motor up if needed. The motor sits about 4 inches under the boat...
I need a new fuel pump for my 1976 70hp. I do not see which one I need on here. It just goes up to 55hp. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks
I just want a simple livewell. I rarely keep fish that I catch but like to sometimes. Can I mount this pump in the bottom of my livewell and use one outlet for new water and the other to pump water out? I just want a simple, inexpensive setup that will work good enough for minimal use. Thanks
Ok, I have replaced the rectifier, all connections are good, have sender hooked to gray wire in harness, tach is set to 12 pole, and the tach zeros when powered but the tach still does not work. Any ideas? Thanks
I have a 15.5 ft fiberglass bass boat. It is a small boat and I have a 70hp Johnson on it. The motor runs great idles smooth does not cut out. I have played with my tilt and have the motor where it should be. My tach does not work so I have no rpms but the motor seems to be struggling to...
I have the sender to the tach hooked up to the grey wire in the harness. The tach zeros out when I put power to it and it is set on the 12 pole position. I am not getting the tach to pick up the motor. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
I have been dealing with Merc so I am not sure about what to do with this. The attached picture I assume is my fuel adapter but I am not sure how it works. Thanks
I recently purchased this motor and have owned a Mercury before this. I need some help hooking up the harness. The red plug is obvious but I am not sure were the other two cables go. There is a black cable and a yellow cable that says "disconnect battery before disconnecting solenoid". I am...
I have a 15.5ft venture bass boat. It is only 5.5ft wide at the widest point so its not a very big boat. The transom is 2.5 inches thick. I have a 1976 Johnson 70hp which weighs 235lbs. That is what the website that I found said anyway but I am not sure. I also have a CMC tilt and trim...
I have alot of dry rot in the wires on the ignition driver and the ignition coil. Can I cut them off and run new wires? Should I use crimp connectors or wire nuts? Do the wires have to be the same length as they were before? Thanks
Ok, I used to have a Merc 500 and scraped that junker for this Johnson. I just need to know where to put my fitting for my water pressure gauge and the send wire for my tach. Thanks
I am considering buying this motor for my boat. I am getting some pictures of under the cowl. How would this push my 15ft bass boat? I am not to familiar with these motors. Thanks

I am looking at buying this motor. It is in very very good condition. Runs great, compression tested, fully service, like new controls. How much should I pay. Thanks
