    '89 35hp merc twin lossing power

    My 35 starts and runs great the first time in the lake every year. Leave it for a week, it may start and run fine or will seem like it's running on 1 cylinder. Take it down the lake and it may go back to full power like flipping a switch. Tried pulling a spark wire when running bad, no...

    Info on this old motor

    I've got this old Johnson that I've had for 40 years. Actually, I think the last time I ran it was 40 years ago. Got it from an old widow that my mom took care of. Took a day to get it running and the only time I used it was to put it on a row boat to cut zig-zags through soft ice to make it...

    '68 Johnson 6hp CD 25R

    Can anyone point me in a direction to find a fuel pump rebuild kit for this engine. The diaphram is distorted, maybe the ethanol? Every place I lock I can only find the whole pump, $80 plus bucks. I'm not going to put that much into a 40+ year old engine. Thanks in advance for any help. Charlie

    Bunks or Rollers

    I'm looking for a trailer for my 21' Century BR. It weighs about 3,500 dry. Would you recommend bunks or roolers. I keep it docked at my summer place and usually only move it spring and fall. Although I might like to do the St. Lawerance now and then. I know I need dual axel and surge...

    Cobalt 222

    I posted this on the General forum, but I'll try it here also. Mind you, I've only seen pictures. Haven't checked for rot yet. I'm looking at a '92 Cobalt 222. Any comments on this boat or Cobalts in general would be appreciated. Also, in my 40 years of owning boats, I've never had any...

    Cobalt 222

    I'm looking at a '92 Cobalt 222. Any comments on this boat or Cobalts in general would be appreciated. Also, in my 40 years of owning boats, I've never had any experience with the Volvo/Penta counter-rotating prop outdrive. Anyone have any comments there? Appreciate the help.

    '90 35hp twin no power

    I've got a 35hp merc '89 or '90. The first time I put it in in the spring it runs fine. After it's been in the lake a while, it starts fine but seems to be running on one cylinder. After driving it 4 miles at 1/2 throttle, the 2nd cylinder will kick in. I've tried plugs. I found the float...
