How do I remove "oil retainers" as I install new seal kit to 33 hp gear case?
I am doing a re-build of a 1967 Johnson 33 hp. At this stage I want to reassemble the gear case, including the Sierra 18-2686 seal kit. Included are two new oil retainers, one around the driveshaft just below the...
I have an unopened quart of Evinrude Johnson HPF Synthetic Gearcase Lube (778755) left over from a 50 hp 4-stoke Johnson I sold on my old pontoon.

I am restoring a 1953 Thompson Thomboy, the power for which is to be a 1967 Johnson 33 hp. My problem is the starter motor will not crank unless I jump a wire inside the junction box from the Negative terminals to the left small terminal on the starter solonoid. As I understand it, that negative...
I have a Yamaha F150 on a 22' Bennington tritoon. There are 115 problem free hours on this freshwater boat. Saturday we went tubing and I was pulling two larger fellows, running between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm. The next riders were two small girls at much slower speed. No problems, and we returned...
