    needs gas

    While it's winter time and the boats' in storage, thought I'd get some insight on a problem that developed on my last trip out. I have a 19' '96 Nitro with an '86 150 Johnson. Just as it would start to plane out the motor dies like it ran out of gas. The bulb is sucked flat. My thought is the...

    How do I

    I bought an '86 150. I need to put it on the boat and have a motor lift. My old '78 140 had a bracket to hook to on top the motor. What do I use for the '86?

    86' 175 2200 rpm at WOT

    It's a long story but I thought the alarm was for temp, but turns out was for lack of fuel. So I changed the water pump. Worked fine with muffs in driveway. Took to lake idled about for a few minutes. Alarm went off, 3 beeps only. Then would not go past 2200 rpm when I hit the throttle. Did I...

    What's this called?

    What is this engine mount called? As you can see this will not allow the motor to be lowered. It is cavetating at normal trim. I have to bury it to stop. It has a 15x17 alum prop. Would a change in prop stop this?

    Help with '86 175 Johnson

    Just sold my I/O and got back into outboards. Had Johnson's for over 35 years. Just picked up a '86 Pro Line 23' w/ a 175 Johnson also '86. Runs smooth but has a few issues. Biggest is steering torque. It pulls HARD to the right, wears you out fighting it. Question, which direction to adjust...

    With the extreme mild winter here in W. Pa. [80+ last couple days] my mind draws closer to getting the boat out of storage. But must be mindful Mother Nature's not done yet.

    How to fix-

    I'm sure it's a common problem, the water connection elbow on my AQ131D strainer holder has broken out screw holes. I've tried plastic ties and hose clamps but because you can't get around the strainer it won't hold. Any suggestions or tricks to keep from having to replace? :confused:
