I have an Intex Excursion 5 and a fish finder that is currently mounted to my kayak using the Scotty 141 mount (4 inch track with gear head adapter). I'd like to be able to move the fish finder been and forth between boats, which means I would need to put a track or something else that the gear...
I have a Minn Kota trolling motor (Endura 50lb) and I would like to extend the power cable approximately 5 feet, without cutting the original connectors. I'd also like to put a quick disconnect near the original leads. I'm thinking trolling motor terminals, to something, short 8 ga wire to...
I have a 70's era 20hp Johnson that will not stay in forward. It doesn't seem to be caused by too much or too little throttle just seems to happen randomly. If the shifter lever is held forward it will usually pop back in or stay in by itself. I noticed that when you move the lever, there is a...
I have a 70's (exact year unknown) 20 HP Johnson outboard. While out on a recent underwater hunting expedition the rope/cord used to start the motor snapped. I have the Johnson service manual and it seems to be doable except for the spring quickly unwinding and possibly ending my life in a blaze...
New to boating and towing. I have the forward thing down pretty well but having tons of trouble with reverse. Any tips to help a newbie launching a boat or backing up in general? I would just practice at the launch but I don't want to get in anyones way.
When accelerating the motor seems to die out. It can cruise ok at low speeds but if you try to speed up it will start to "choke" and then die out if you don't back it down. Each time this happens the motor gets harder to start, and then eventually it wont start at all. Tried squeezing the bulb...
I have a 14' Starcraft (assume it is a 73) with a 40hp 73 Johnson outboard motor. When I turn the wheel to the right, the boat turns left. When I turn it to the left the boat turns right. The steering system is made up of cables and pulleys that run down both sides of the boat and attach to a...
I recently purchased a 14' Starcraft that came with a Johnson 40hp motor, model 40E 73D. Had trouble getting it started out on the water, once we did, we could only move the throttle about half way (bad cable, replaced, goes full range now.)
The problem is that the motor has a hard time...
