    I think this is a good buy

    Today I placed an order for a prop from the marine store here on iboats.com. I ordered a Solas Amita 9-1/4" X 8" prop for my 15hp. Johnson. I guess I should have asked this before ordering but I think for the money spent (62.00) it wasn't much more than a reconditioned prop and I'll have a...

    Shallow water drive?

    My 1986 15hp. Johnson has a lever that will allow the motor to be run shallow so you can get in to spots that would not be possible otherwise. This used to work fine, I'd push the lever and raise the motor and it would lock in the shallow position. Now I do this and it never seems to engage and...

    Fuel/water separator?

    Again as a new member I come here asking what may be a question that might have been asked many times before. I have a mid 80's Johnson 15hp. runs great no issues there I would like to run fuel that is ethanol free but around here that would mean running a premium fuel (Octane of 91 or higher) I...

    Decarb question

    Like this site very helpful, I have a question about the decarbing that is mentioned often here. I have a 86 Johnson 15hp. that runs very well, after reading about the decarb process I have a few questions. Since my motor seems to run so well is a decarb in order? I'm guessing decarbing should...
