    '75 Chrysler 120 hp water temp

    This is the 1st Chrysler I have had so I'm not quite sure what is to be expected. When running in a barrel and on the water, the output from the quasi double telltale (two holes on the back of the leg, mid way down) is warm and transitions to hot. There is an appreciable output of water from...

    To buy or not to buy

    I am in a bit of a situation and I was hoping you all could help make the decision easier. I have a line on a Duratech Commanche, that to be honest is a good looking boat. It is a 1962, has a 120hp 75' Chrysler with power TT. The boat's condition is vey good, I did not see any hull repairs...

    1979 Merc 90 mounting question

    I picked up this outboard last week and with a little work I got it fired up this weekend. It is equiped with hydraulic tilt/trim and I picked up the pump, wiring, etc when I stripped the old motor off the former boat. I am going to transplant it to my current boat....a 61 whitehouse that has...

    1974 Johnson 50 carb issue?

    I have a Johnson 50ESL74 with a perplexing issue. It appears to be running (poorly) because it is excessively rich. History of engine is unknown as it came on a 61 Whitehouse I recently acquired. Motor is difficult to start and will not reliably hold idle. Once fired up and shifted into gear...

My wires to the powershift no longer have the red connectors (long replaced by former...

    Another batery question

    I have a old 61 Whitehouse with a '74 Johnson 50 hp O/B that I am going to be adding a second battery to to support some music in the boat. I like the easy way with a 1,2,B,off switch functioning as a manual isolator. After reviewing the stickies on dual battery setups i still have a nagging...

    950 Merc 60's vintage, is it worth it

    I have a line on a 950 Merc "tower of power" for 200.00. It is attached to a Larson All american (basically a shell) and a small trailer. I'm mainly interested in the outboard but it has not run in I don't don't know how long. It looks like it has seen salt water duty (the lower unit is very...

    Mystery Whitehouse

    Hi everyone. I scored this jem about 2 weeks ago. It is a very interesting vessel. I can't find any pics of it anywhere or anything about the model. It was originally titled as a 1961 whitehouse and model was listed as whitehouse as well. The closest I can find is a solaris but the windows...
