Wasn't sure where to post this but it is for a Johnson outboard so I will post it here. I have a 12 gallon Attwood style portable tank that the plastic pickup tube fitting broke on, and am having trouble finding a replacement. This tube has 1/4" NPT threads on the male and female sides, and all...
I have a 90hp johnson that I need to figure out the model number on. It is a 90hp looper that I was told is a 2006. One of the stickers on the transom is too faded to see, and I believe it is the one that would have the model number. The sticker above it has the engine family number, which I...
I have a 2006 johnson 90hp that I have to keep the bulb pumped for it to get on plane and get it up to full speed. It started doing this a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't nearly as bad then, and it has gotten progressively worse since. When I give it throttle, it will start to go and then once I...
I have a 2006 Johnson 90hp that I keep having an issue with the carb bowls warping and leaking. All 4 bowls were slightly warped and leaking when I purchased the motor, so I rebuilt the carbs and put new bowls on them. That lasted for a couple months, then they slowly started warping again and...
I recently bought a 1648 aluminum boat with a 2008 Mercury 25hp 4 stroke efi, and when I took it to the lake it doesn't seem to have any power when in gear. I didn't test drive it before buying (probably should have), but started it up on muffs and it seems to run great in neutral. When I had it...
I have a Tohatsu 9.8hp that I bought used a few months ago that the stock 3 blade prop on it and the guy that I bought it from also gave me a 4 blade prop for it. I went to put the 4 blade on the other day to test it out and noticed that the prop sits outside of the gear case. I wanted to know...
I have a 2014 tohatsu 9.8 that I took the carburetor off to clean it. There was a little dome shaped fuel filter screen where the fuel line comes into the bowl and I didn't realize it was removable, so when I was blowing the bowl out with compressed air the filter went flying across my shop. I...
I recently bought a new to me boat with a 2006 90hp johnson. It seems to run great, other than what seems to be it not getting good fuel at 3/4 to full throttle. Its not a constant thing, but every couple of minutes when riding it will act like it is misfiring or running out of fuel, and then...
I am putting a new gas tank in my 1860 sea ark and I have a few questions about it. I want to use a 22 gallon moeller "below deck" tank, but I want to run it in the rear bilge area, which isn't covered on this boat. Will I run into any problems with this, being that the tank is meant to be in a...
I have a 1998 mercury 40hp that the throttle is not returning to idle. I took the control box apart to fix a chaffed wire for the tilt/trim, and disconnected the throttle cable while I was fixing the wire, and then reassembled it. Now when I start the motor, it is "idling" at about 1/4 throttle...
I have a 1998 Mercury 40hp that isn't running right. I took it out last night and it started easily and seemed to be idling good, but when I gave it WOT it only seemed to run about half the rpms it normally does (I don't have a tach so I'm not sure what it was running at), and it wouldn't plane...
I took my boat out last night and about 5 minutes into the ride the buzzer alarm started going off. The motor is a 1998 Mercury 40hp. The alarm has went off before, but most of the time it would be in below freezing temps and it would stop once it warmed up. It ran fine, had a full tank of oil...
My motor is a 1998 Mercury 40hp serial #0G662847. When I put it in forward this morning, I heard a snap from the control box and it was stuck in forward at about 1/4 throttle. I took the control box apart when I got home and found that part of the metal "gear" (not really sure what it is called)...
I have a 1998 Mercury 40hp 2stroke serial# 0G662847 that I am going to replace the impeller on. Do I need to get the water pump repair kit that comes with a new housing and seals or just a new impeller, and what are the correct part#s for this motor? Do I need any special marine grease or...
I have a 1998 mercury 40hp and when I was riding this morning it started making a whining noise. It would make the noise randomly for a few seconds at a time and then stop. Other than the whining, it ran like normal. Once we got to our hunting spot, the motor stayed in the water for a few hours...
