    Fuel Filter 2003 Johnson 90

    While I was squeezing the primer bulb today, I had the fuel filter blow out completely allowing fuel to pour out of the fuel line. Was surprised because it is held in place by a large plastic nut. Anyone else ever heard of this? Also, anyone else running SEAFOAM regularly in their fuel?

    Stereo

    I am going through stereos about every 5 months or so. I have been purchasing the automotive type from Wally World...I do have a water-proof cover on the front of course. I even keep a water proof cover on top of my center console, but I seem to be losing the sound card every 5 or six month...

    Hydraulic Steering

    I have a 16' McKee Craft CC with a 2003 90 hp Johnson Motor. I noticed my steering was getting stiffer and stiffer, and the boat was not much fun to drive anymore. It was just hard to maneuver period. I was going to need a new cable and a new anti-feedback helm control. When I priced...

    Hole in 1999 Bennington Pontoon

    So I am driving my pontoon boat back to the storage area where I keep her. I was following a lawn service trailer...when all of a sudden a 3ft metal pipe falls off the trailer and starts flipping along the road. I swerved my new 2013 F150 truck to avoid the pipe; unfortunately, I ran over the...

    2003 Johnson 90 (Bombardier)

    Noticed the oil was getting a little low, so I topped it off with a fresh gallon of synthetic (at the house) before I left. I put the boat in the water, and the motor cranked right up. Idled out into the channel...all of a sudden I get a constant horn with the "NO OIL" light on my systems check...

    1999 Honda BF40

    Here is an update on my Dad's old pontoon with a very low hour Honda BF40 Outboard. The boat spent almost all its life in a fresh water like in Kentucky...under a boat house. In fact, the boat had only been out of the water twice in 15 years...both times to perform routine maintenance when I...

    Pontoon Siding Replacement

    Here is an update on my Dad's old 1999 Bennington Pontoon. My dad died in October and left me his prized pontoon boat. It looks like Dad had a few encounters with the rocks (and boat dock) at his fresh water lake in Kentucky. His eyesight was failing, so his depth perception was kinda off a...

    1999 Bennington 18.5 Pontoon

    My Dad died two weeks ago and left me his nearly mint condition pontoon boat. He lived on a lake in Kentucky, so the boat has never left his boat-house. This boat has very very few hours. Over the years, I performed the maintenance myself, so I know the boat very well. Here is my question...

    What Prop do I need?

    I am trying to figure out which is the correct prop for my boat. I have tried a couple of different props for testing before I make the investment in a new SS Prop. I am hoping one of the "Prop Experts" will jump in and give me a hand. Here is what I know so far: Testing was done with full...
