I own a 15hp johnson powering 14.5 deep v alluminum Grumman open bench type boat. I purchased the motor used in 94. Every now and then the motor will stall after extended trolling. After having several shops work on it, I was tolled that the compression on the cylinders didn't match. I had the fuel pump and internal lines replaced including primer bulb and tank. I'm thinking of just replacing it. It's the primary motor on the boat and I need it to be dependable. The motor weights 72 pounds. The tansom has been cut down to accommodate a short shaft so I don't want to put to much weight on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
