Was curious if anybody knows where to find an open pouch like this that can be mounted upright. I’m not even sure what to call this thing, but have searched around for an hour and couldn’t find anything similar. It’s mostly just to cover the open hole that exposes my gas tank in between my two...

Success! I was able to fit a file in between the clutch dog and drive shaft and after a few taps on the prop shaft she popper right out. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you, I will definitely try this

I have a 1994 Johnson Fast strike 150hp V6 outboard and I am trying to do some work on my lower unit. Disassembling everything has been somewhat smooth so far, but I am stuck on removing the driveshaft from the pinion gear. I removed the locknut, and all the videos I’ve seen say you should be...

Will do, thank you

I definitely want to give it a shot on my own, I hate to admit it but I actually enjoy the struggle lol I live in New England and we’ve had weeks below freezing here for the past few months which has me worried after seeing the water in the GC. The boat was stored outside through most of the winter.

Is this something I should attempt myself?? I am somewhat mechanically inclined and interested but I know that taking apart/ rebuilding the lower unit requires a lot of specialized tools. Is it worth just taking it into a shop?

I’m sure it’s had a collision (or multiple) also judging by how beat up the skeg is.

I recently went to change the lower unit oil on my newly bought 1994 Johnson 150 HP fast strike outboard. When loosening the lower drain screw, water began to slowly weep out and once removing top drain screw I had a good pour of water for at least 30 seconds ( “oh crap”), followed by some milky...

Haha will do, thank you

Thanks for the advice

Sounds like fun haha thank you for the quick response

This may be a dumb question but I’ve been getting some work done on my outboard and I want to run it ASAP to be able to see how she sounds now. The only issue is I live in the northeast and most of our days fall down to the 20’s for another month or so. Would there be any issue in running my...

Awesome, thank you! good to know, thank you

Good to know, thank you for the quick response!

I’m looking into buying a bass boat with a 1994 Johnson fast strike 150 HP two-stroke V6. The seller says that it will not start. I know I’m gambling here, hoping that it’s just a carb issue. I know the psi wouldn’t be accurate, but my question is, could I do a compression test on the cold...

That’s a great suggestion. I’ll have to look into that, thanks!

I was thinking the same thing, not sure how that got overlooked. Thanks for your help Chris

I believe I found the issue today! I found that when I throttle up, it only opens up one of my 2 carburetor’s butterfly’s. When taking the carburetor’s out I found that the throttle lever linkage was snapped off and the bottom carb wasn’t opening at all. I’ve machined a makeshift linkage for it...
