    '76 Johnson 25 hp fuel problem?

    Was out in Tampa Bay today and the motor was running well. Stopped to fish a few times. Started back to the ramp when the motor coughed and stalled. The ball was soft and the inline fuel filter was almost empty. Pumped the ball back up (took a bit of pumping) and the motor pull started very...

    Another starting problem thread!!!

    '76 Johnson 25 hp pull start. Wouldn't even begin to catch yesterday......just sounded dead. The carb was rebuilt last Oct and the boat hasn't been out much since but has been starting easily. Tested today and there is spark to both plugs. At one point in trying to start it, my buddy or I...

    Drain Plug Question

    I have a 13' fiberglass tri-hull with a rubber transom drain plug. I've been putting the plug in from the inside. My friend who I was fishing with recently puts his rubber plug in from the outside. Is there a right way or a wrong way to do this? Mine has never fallen out and his hasn't...

    Replacement for Tempo Flushette for Johnson, Evinrude, OMC

    Honda Water Mouth Kit, part no. 06190-881-860 It attaches to the skeg over the water intake screen the exact same way that the Tempo Flushette did. I use my motor in salt water and like to flush it after every trip. Hint: To ease assembly, use a bit of dishwashing liquid on the rubber...

    Tempo Flushette question

    I have a question about the Tempo flushette. I know it attaches over the screen on the port side of the fin extending down from the cavitation plate. Is that the ONLY water intake for the '76 25 hp Johnson motor? I found something that may work instead of the flushette and tried it on my...

    Attaching transducer to transom with epoxy?

    I had a real leaky jon boat with a bad transom. I suppose I now have a phobia against putting any holes in the transom of my 13' fiberglass tri-hull. I do want a fish finder and want to mount the transducer on the transom. I don't want to use the trolling motor as a mount and I don't want...

    '76 Johnson 25 hp water intake. Where?

    Sorry for the kinda dumb question.......but where exactly is the water intake on my '76 Johnson 25 hp? I'm putting a hydrofoil on the motor and want to be sure that I'm not covering up the intake. Thanks!

    Depth Finder

    I have a Dixie Boat Works fiberglass 13' tri-hull with a 25hp Johnson and a Minn-Kota TM. I'm looking for just a depth finder and water temp indicator. Do they even make these anymore? If I have to I'll get a fish finder with the above features. I'm retired and on a fixed income so price is...

    1976 Johnson 25 hp RUNNING WILD!

    Took the 13' jon boat out for the first time with a friend this AM in Tampa Bay. No problem starting it......3 or 4 pulls and it started. My buddy, who has a boat, took the tiller. Shifted into forward no problem, opened it up and it got up on plane and ran really well. We fished for a...

    Dixie Boat Works 13' Malibu

    Does anyone know anything about this boat? I bought an aluminum '84 Sears Gamefisher recently and found that the transom leaks badly. Had some welding done and sealed everything I could reach with 5200. Did a leak test today and it still leaks some but not too badly. Put more 5200 on and...
