    Looking for part number to buy a red OMC/Johnson remote tilt/trim switch on throttle handle

    The tilt/trim up side of the switch on the throttle control handle is broken and doesn't work. It's definitely the switch. I'm not sure of a part number or what to get as a replacement. It's from a 1992 Glastron w/Johnson 90hp outboard. The switch is red with an arrow in the up and down...

    Not sure where to mount Faria Temp Sender on my '91 90-HP Johnson

    I bought a Faria Temperature Gauge and wanted to install it on my '91 90-HP Johnson 2-stroke. The instructions say to remove a head bolt and make sure the surface if tight/flat against the cylinder head. It appears there's some other cover (water jacket?) on the outside of the cylinder head...

    Replacing Impeller/water pump - a couple questions.

    I have a 1991 (or is it 1992?) Johnson 90HP outboard - model J90TLAIE. I had the engine rebuilt about 10 years ago and haven't replaced the impeller since that time. We don't use the boat much anymore. I'd guess it has less than 200 hours on it since it was rebuilt 10 years ago. Maybe less...

    Johnson 90hp starter problems

    I don't have the usual "starter won't engage" type problem. Actually, it's the opposite. 1990 or 1992 Johnson 90hp - not exactly sure which it is. Most of the time, the starter works fine. Here's the problems I've had the last couple years - including an incident yesterday: When starting the...

    Adding Ski Pylon to boat - Glastron fish/ski

    I posted this on the Glastron forum, but it doesn't get much traffic so.... I was wondering if anyone has added a ski pylon to any Glastron fish/ski boat (outboard) and their opinions. I was checking them out - the Swivel-Eze seems to be a popular one. It says you need access under the...

    1990 Fish/Ski and adding Ski Pylon

    I was wondering if anyone has added a ski pylon to any Glastron fish/ski boat (outboard) and their opinions.<br /><br />I was checking them out - the Swivel-Eze seems to be a popular one. It says you need access under the pedestal base for access. Is the back deck on one of these boats strong...

The previous owner replaced the starter with a rebuilt.<br /><br />I was having trouble with the starter gear (bendix?) or whatever it's called - the one that pops up - sticking occasionally. I greased it with some white lithium grease.<br /><br />The next...

    SS prop pricing on iboats

    I see a variety of pricing on iboats for a SS prop in the size I need. Is there a big difference in quality between these? What about performance? <br /><br /> http://www.boat-props.com/propellers/s/chart-18/pitch-19.00/manufacturer-Johnson/rotation-Standard/horsepower-90/year-1990/index.html...

    Advice please, rebuild, used or new?

    Bad news from the shop about my 1992 Johnson 2-stroke 90HP V-4 outboard. He said cylinder 3 leakdown test? is 50% and cylinder 4 is 25% (it may have been the other way around). He said 15% is the most you want to see. He suggested it may have been a thermostat problem but that's a guess.<br...

I realize you can't see them or hear them run, but I'll explain them the best I can.<br /><br />1. 1948 Martin '60' (not 60hp - it says 7.2hp on the ID tag)<br />Runs pretty good, could...
