I'm currently fishing a 15' skiff. I love my little skiff but it's just not enough room for the family and not big enough to venture to far out of the bay. My wife and I were looking at a Sportsman Island Bay 20' I like the layout of the boat for fishing and the storage seating etc. also it's...
I finally got the boat wet today but I got nothing when I turned the the key, not even a click.It ran good before other than the rectifier over heating. I had removed the rectifier and was going to water test it. Where should I start looking. I'm not to good with wiring. I did find a blown fuse...
I finally got the old Johnson running and idling to satisfaction. When shut it down after making adjustments I noticed the rectifier was dripping down the engine. What should I be checking besides ground connections? Is this how they normally fail? 89 60hp
I have installed the head and exhaust cover using the omc gasket sealing compound. Is this stuff supposed to stay goopy? It's been days and it is still not solid. Did I get a bad batch?
I found a some water on the spark plug in the top cylinder. I've pulled the head and I don't see water getting through. Where should I look next? I see a small bit of water at the bottom of the cylinder. Thanks.

I do not get wot at the carbs with any combination of adjustments. There is quite a bit of travel left to be horizontal. Could a bad cable cause this? There is a good 1/4 inch of play in the cable but I would think this is normal. I was going forward with a link and sync per manual but it will...

I have removed all screws and the lever. I have tried in neutral forward and reverse. Idle lever up down. Am I missing something? I don't want to force it
I need a tach to set idle speed. I have a tach in my old truck I don't use. Can an automotive tach be temporarily used? If so how would I go about hooking it up. Thanks 89 johnson 60hp
I've recently replaced the carbs on my 60 hp johnson. I was following some detailed intstuctions on linking and syncing them. I was scratching my head when I got to adjusting the wot stop screw as shifting through to full throttle does not move the cam anywhere near wot. i shifted in and out of...
89 Johnson 60 hp. So I'm tearin down the carbs, all is goin good. Then on the last carb. The idle mixture scew retainer snaps off. I removed it with an ease out but managed to damage the seat behind it. So now I'm looking for a replacement carb. I can't find this specific carb anywhere. Would a...
I can't seem to upload a picture. The size limit is exceeded. Forgive my ignorance but I'm wondering what the lever at the bottom of the shift/ throttle control is. It's a lever that locks closed. This is an 86 hobie power skiff. I don't think this is the original shift control. My only...
