    "71 6hp johnson dies when warm

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me troubleshoot my 1971 6 hp Johnson outboard. It starts with one or two pulls and runs Great for a while at low speed and Full throttle, but after trolling for a while it acts like it's running out of gas or over choked. Any help would be...

    Tach not working

    Hello to everyone, The tachometer on my 92 force 150 hp quit working and I was wondering what are some things to check that could cause that? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Force 150 hp won’t shift properly in forward?

    Well, great news, I found the problem. I had turned the shift cable clamp upside down, and fastened it up that way, and it was jamming up, preventing the shifter to move to the forward position. After correcting that it shifts nice and smooth now!

    Force 150 hp won’t shift properly in forward?

    Yes, it shifts into both forward and reverse. I was able to get some help from my wife and when she worked the remote control, I was back at the motor and noticed that the interlock lever seem to block the movement of the tower year to keep it from rotating in order to accelerate. When going in...

    Force 150 hp won’t shift properly in forward?

    Hello everyone, thanks for all the help you’ve given me in the past with my 150 hp force outboard. Last fall I had the misfortune of fishing line getting wound around the prop shaft behind the propeller that took out the seals and lost all gear grease. When they went to drain the old grease and...

    150 hp lower unit replacement

    Thanks , I would like to replace the seals but I have never done that before. I’ll have to look into that. Does anyone know if there is a good YouTube video on this?

    150 hp lower unit replacement

    Thanks! I was hoping that they didn’t have to match the original LU, so that is great! I have another question for you guys though, I pressure tested the replacement lower unit with the oil drained out of the gear case and the gear case held seven psi, but anything over that leaked out of the...

    150 hp lower unit replacement

    Yeah, that’s for sure! I am very handy, but I don’t think I’ve got the tools to do a proper seal job and tear down. I found a decent sounding used lower unit on eBay and the pressure test numbers sound good but I’m not sure it will work. Here are some photos, please let me know if you think it...

    150 hp lower unit replacement

    I have a 1992 Force 150 hp outboard. At the end of the season I went to drain the gear oil and only some water drained out and less than an ounce of oil. I pulled off the lower unit and the lower unit seem to be damaged and would not hold any pressure at all. Since the seals were shot and almost...

    Yes sir, I think I’ll have to look into that! Give them some of their own medicine 😉

    Most stable hull design for trolling in rough water

    Thanks for your response, I think that you’re right, and it makes sense that a flatter transom helps to control rocking back and forth when trolling. I really do like how the deep v cuts through the waves and chop. I do believe that the hull gets much flatter towards the stern, but the boat is...

    Most stable hull design for trolling in rough water

    Very true! I once had a tall wake that hit the side of the boat where some water washed over the side and into my boat! I finally left that part of the lake and tried fishing in a different spot. Trouble is that the place I left was very good fishing!
