    Johnson cowling seal

    Anyone know where I can find a new cowl seal for my 1990 Johnson 30? (J30TELESS). The ones from the official websites sit at about 100$ and I’d rather not spend that much on an OEM one. I found a few on EBay that I’m not sure would fit. Any advice is appreciated.

    Cowl fiberglass resto

    Does anyone know how I could fix this flaking at the bottom of my cowl? The old staples ripped some of the glass strands out… I plan on painting the cowling so I do not want to just cover up the impurities with the new seal..want to do it right

    Motor won’t turn over

    Have a 1990 johnson 30 tiller model that will not turn over. I have replaced the solenoid and tested the starter and they both look fine. If anyone had a wiring diagram possible that could help me out that’d be great. Thanks

    Boat trailer leaf springs+hubs

    I had no clue. I was not planning on buying an axle but seeing this makes me wonder if just buying an axle ready to go with leaf springs, hubs, etc would make things a lot easier on me

    Boat trailer leaf springs+hubs

    It's not that little. The war eagle is a 16 footer and 44 inches wide. The trailers fairly stout. With little research most of the boat trailers I see are around 1300-1400 brand new. Of course, there are probably some newer used ones around somewhere for a little less yet I feel like I can...

    Boat trailer leaf springs+hubs

    Hello, I'm currently renovating an older boat trailer that came with a war eagle oat years ago. This is my first time ever doing anything like this I am going to strip the old thing down and paint it first, yet I wanted to begin researching this other stuff now. The trailer wheels-hubs-beveled...

    Painting a boat trailer

    I was thinking about stripping the trailer down and doing this but those guys charge an arm and a leg for most of that stuff. I’ll probably end up sanding/grinding as much of that stuff off as I can on my own.

    Painting a boat trailer

    I’ve just redone my old boat yet the trailer it’s on is in rough shape. It’s an older war eagle duck boat and I’m pretty certain it’s made of steel. I was going to grind all the old paint off of it and spray a new finish on it yet I have no idea of what paint to use. If you have any...

    Gas tank

    I wouldn’t mind even upgrading to a 7-8 gallon tank if weight was a concern. I have never used all 6 gallons in a single trip. I am just looking for more of a permanent option to replace the removable 6 gallon red tank. Can you use a aluminum fuel cell?

    Gas tank

    I have a bass tracker classic XL. On the back I have a 40 mercury, and under the back hatch, I have a standard 5 gallon plastic gas can. I was looking to upgrade to a 10 gallon tank yet had no idea where to start looking. The rear compartment is basically an aluminum box and is well ventilated...

    Faulty starting solenoid

    Hey guys, I am currently having trouble getting my 1990 Johnson 30 to fire up. When I bought the motor, I hooked it up to my battery and couldn’t get it to turn over. I rigged the solenoid up and touched it to the starter and got it to turn over, so I figured I had a bad solenoid. I ordered a...

    Anyone know how to pull this housing out where your water pump “hose” runs through? I pulled on it a bit but it didn’t come out so I figured I’d ask here. Got some new O rings to put on it.

    Lower unit seal

    Thanks a lot 👍🏻 For what it’s worth the oil in the lower unit was jet black. The water came out first and then the oil came next. Not sure what that means exactly but I guess your right to say if I’m holding pressure I should be alright. Left it pressurized tonight hopefully in the morning it...

    Lower unit seal

    I recently bought a 90’ 30 horse Johnson off a guy I know for 150$. The outboards didn’t run but it’s was not in terrible shape, and had good compression so I figured I’d fiddle with it a little bit. Today I drained the lower unit oil and noticed some water in my oil. It wasn’t terrible yet I...

    ORIGINAL EVINRUDE GASKET SEALENT

    Hey guys, I am in the process of changing the water pump assembly on my 90’ 30 horse Johnson. That original evinrude/Johnson gasket sealing compound is the recommended stuff but it’s impossible to find. I found a thread on here stating that the Permatrex aviation form-a-gasket would work just...
