    2002 Mercury 90hp 4-Stroke (YamaMerc) making oil while not in use???

    I currently have a 2002 Mercury 90hp four stroke outboard. When I purchased the boat, motor, and trailer the oil level was good. After hauling the boat over 300 miles home I planned to take the boat out on a test run the next day so I checked the oil again and it was way over full with the...

    I have the small classic boat itch. Talk me in or out of it

    Re: I have the small classic boat itch. Talk me in or out of it Wrenching on Jeeps and wanting a Starcraft Jupiter? Why does this sound very familiar to me. Maybe because I have both? Go for it, you will never regret it.

    1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

    Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild All this concern over the paint and it looks better than mine. I went the super cheap and easy route. I used the Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Protective Enamel (Oil-Based) and cut in the corners with a bush then applied three coats with a...

    V4 Johnson & Evinrude engine cowl. What years are interchangeable?

    Re: V4 Johnson & Evinrude engine cowl. What years are interchangeable? You were right. I purchased a cowl from a 1996 Johnson 88hp SPL and it fit my 1985 Johnson 115 perfectly. Now I just have to paint it and put the '97-'98 Johnson 115 SPL decals on it. I may wait until this winter to do...

    V4 Johnson & Evinrude engine cowl. What years are interchangeable?

    I have a 1985 Johnson 115 V4 and after spending several days restoring and repainting the engine cowl (cover/hood) I managed to knock it over and it fell to the concrete driveway and cracked it down the corner. I decided not to fix it and to get another one. Luckily I hadn't put the new decals...

    Anyone know the weight of a 1966 Evinrude 60-HP SportFour?

    Re: Anyone know the weight of a 1966 Evinrude 60-HP SportFour? Thank you for the info. It is the 20" shaft. As for the gearcase, I am assuming that it is just the standard one. Now to just figure out if it would be better to sell it complete, or part it out? I don't see many classic...

    Re: 1976 14ft Starcraft Falcon restoration Thats a nice looking Falcon. Congrats on the great find. I almost bought a '68 Falcon at a consignment auction last year but had too many projects underway at that time. I should have bought it anyway. I could have had the boat, motor, & trailer for...

    Would Johnson V6 carburetor work on Johnson V4?

    I am almost finished parting out a 1982 Johnson 150 V6. I still have the carburetors and wanted to find out if they would work on a 1985 Johnson 115 V4 (I know I would only use two)? If so, would there be any performance loss or gain? The carburetors are clean and in great shape. They were...
