I am looking to buy an older starcraft, I've always had glass boats and outboard engines, I thought it could be fun to try an aluminum hull with an inboard engine. Ide like to get something that I can mount a trolling motor on the front easily and build a removable platform with a swivel seat...
Just bought a johnson 9.9 with no spark, previous owner said it has a bad magneto. It's got good compression appears to be low hours so I wanna bring it to life! Under the flywheel I think I'm seeing a pick up and maybe a stator? I also found what I believe is a cdi box on the side. I'm looking...

I replaced the seals in my two piece lower end thanks to the help of the people on here, i took it out and went boating and when i pulled her out the weep hole leaked water only and no gear lube. I stored it away in the garage and then went to check it and it had leaked a 4 inch pool of gear...

I have a 105 hp chrysler on 85hp force power tilt and trim unit. It works good but it leaks down slowly if i leave it on the power tilt or trim. I read somewhere that this is caused by the valvebody?? is thist true? can u get a rebuilt kit for it?
