    Possible timing issue?

    A little background: I am currently working on a 1989 Johnson TJ150SLCEM. Being that it is 28 years old and noticing some leaks I thought it would be time to change out all the gaskets, run new fuel lines, change out the plug wires and plugs, rebuild the carbs, and eliminate the oil injection...

    What would be the best prop for top end speed?

    Re: What would be the best prop for top end speed? Thanks for all your input guys. I'm just going to stay with the 14 1/2 x 24. Need a new one due to log vs. blade. What I am going to do is raise the jack plate a 1/4 inch and see what that gives me.

    What would be the best prop for top end speed?

    How do I test my gauges?

    I have a 1989 Bass Tracker 1800 TF with original gauges. When I bought the boat 3 years ago some worked (fuel, tach,speed, volt) the only one that didn't work was the tilt/trim. First to go out was speed. After about a year I lost fuel, tach, and volt. The only one working is water psi. Is there...

    Minn Kota i-pilot vs. i-link

    I'm looking to get a new minn kota 80lb. The problem is I'm not sure if I should go with just the i-pilot or the i-pilot link. What is the difference? I know the link will talk to a hummingbird finder, but I don't have one and not sure if I'm going to buy one any time soon or ever. Does the link...

    Johnson 150GT nothing from ignition and tilt/trim

    I went outside to start the boat and let it run a little. Turned the key a couple of times motor was trying to start. Went to turn the key again and nothing..dead turn. Thought a fuse blew so I checked the tilt/trim...no movement or clicking from the relays. Took the engine cover off and pulled...

    Starter freezing

    Johnson 150 starter sometimes freezes on me. I hear the clicking but the starter will not engage. After I apply the classic stand by pounding on the starter move it works. Is there something simple I can do to fix this?

    1989 Johnson GT 150 needs revving often. Why?

    Motor starts up fine and runs fine. The problem I'm having is sometimes when I give it full throttle to take off it bogs down. I throw it in neutral rev it up a couple of times, then it takes off and runs fine. I have changed the fuel filter and don't see any fuel leaks. The bulb stays hard. Is...
