    Re: Johnson '01 90HP DriveShaft Removal A pic of the carnage. Pretty sure that's the wrong color for gear oil. I'm sure it'll buff right out... ha ha.

    Johnson '01 90HP DriveShaft Removal

    Well that is a very bad way to end a bad day. Hit myself a big rock and cracked the gearcase. I have a 2001 Johnson 90HP V4, model J90PLSIF. Managed to get the lower end dropped and everything cleaned up but need to get the gearcase sent to the welder for repairs. HOWEVER, we can't seem to...

    I have a 2001 Johnson 90HP 2stroke on a Princecraft that I bought. Since I got it its been running flawlessly. However yesterday coming back to the Marina for the first time ever when I came off plane I noticed the motor running a little rough. When I slowed right down for docking, it died. It...

    35HP Getting Stuck in Gear

    1984 35HP Evinrude E35RCRR. My motor has recently started getting stuck in gear. I'll be going along fine, but on a shore landing I usually shift to neutral, put the motor on shallow drive, shift back into forward and beach it. I usually just cut the motor while its in gear. However tonight...

    1984 35HP Generator Question

    I have a generator coil under my flywheel. Since I have bought this motor, its been giving me some troubles, but I seem to have solved most of its issues. I am still running into some issues when the motor has been transported or running for a while. It dies out and won't run correctly. I'm...

    Zodiac MKIII Prop

    Took the MKIII out for a rip on the weekend and put my 35HP Evinrude on it. The prop on there is 10x13 for my tin Edson boat. This prop easily got us on plane but topped out at 24mph. I have a 10x15 for a spare that I took off the motor originally, and was wondering if I were to throw that on...

    Tubing with a MKIII?

    New to the Zodiac world. I have a MKI and Futura MKIII. Looking at going camping on August Long and was wondering if the MKIII is cabable of towing a tube. I know I have the power to do so, but was wondering about the stresses on the transom? Is their a ski kit? or do you just use the loop on...

    35HP Primer Alternative

    Since the stealer wants like 90bucks for these primers, is there an alternative that anyone's found? I know I've found 12 dollar ones for my snowmobiles and was wondering if those would work? why so freakin expensive?

    Permatex Aviation Form-a-Gasket

    This is all I have in my garage at the moment and was looking at putting my Evinrude 35HP back together tonight. Because of where I live I don't have access to a lot of stuff. I remember hearing that automotive sealant is bad on aluminum due to the chemical reaction. Just wondering if...

    Convert 20" to 15" Shaft?

    I have a 1984 35HP Evinrude 20" shaft. My father in law has a 1984 25HP Johnson. He's already harvested the bottom end for another motor but I was wondering if I could use the mid section from his parts motor to replace mine. What all would be involved in there? I imagine some plumbing and I...

    1984 35HP Evin. Head Gasket?

    Well I finally got my hands on some SeaFoam and did a Decarb in the driveway tonight. Lots of smokey exhaust that got rid of the bugs for about 40mins! Seems to be starting a little better, but still not great. The motor takes a good prime to start firing, and seems to fire to a smooth run...

    '84 35HP Evinrude Troubles (STILL!)

    A while back I posted about my primer valve being faulty and the fuel pump flooding the motor out via the primer. I've since removed the primer and tuned the motor accordingly. Nice tan colored plugs now when running. I've never used the primer in warm weather to start and it would start on the...

    Iboats shipping to Canada?

    I was just wondering if anyone from canada has purchased parts off of Iboats? It almost makes sense now that the canadian dollar has risen. Just wondering if it has been done in the past and if you run into heavy duty brokerage fees and duties. I would prefer if they ship postal service rather...

    Theory Question - AV Plate

    I believe this is the best forum for this question as it has to do with the lower end of the motor. First off, I have a 1984 Evinrude 35HP 20" shaft motor. I am running a 10X15 prop on it right now and am convinced that is too much pitch. I will be trying out a 10x13 this weekend and see how...
