The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I have a 37' houseboat with a 130 hp johnson / 25" shaft. the prop is a 15 X 10. The engine is mounted on a bracket and is secured to the bracket just high enough to keep the engine bracket out of the salt water when sitting still at anchor.
Normally I do not have any issues with cavitation...
Just bought this motor. 130 johnson 1995. Motor is converted to pre mix. About every 10 min the alarm beep beeps for about 3 min. Seems to be running fine. I've got pre mixed fuel and the vro has been disconnected. Any thoughts?
My Evinrude sounded a bit 'off' and died out last time I used it. I dug into it today and found what I think is the problem. A small hole in one of the carb fuel lines. I am pretty sure that's the only issue... but still, I this nagging feeling that maybe I am missing something... I'll pick up a...
I have a Baystar Hydraulic steering system and the support brackets always seem to get seized to the support rod and need some 'strong encouragement' to undo. I have not always used the proper grease, so it is my bad. I am cleaning the unit up and putting it on a different outboard.
Is there...
I have an outboard on the back of a 14 ft wide houseboat. The engine is a 1995 Evinrude 130 that has no flushing port. As such, a set of muffs need to be used. Due to the way I have to dock this tank, it would be difficult at best to be able to reach the lower unit. The engine is sitting on a...
Hi Folks, I just removed the regulator/rectifier assembly on my 1995 Johnson 130 and am looking for advice on a few things.
1. What type of gasket sealer would be OK to use on the regulator gasket? The manual says to use an OMC brand, but I am hoping some type that would be available at an...
My new to me, 1995 130 Johnson has what appears to be a flush out hose attached to the pisser (technical term..) The end appears to have a check valve, but what ever probably used to attach to a hose for flushing looks pretty buggered up.
Is there any reason I cant just run the hose through...
I bought a 1995 130 Johnson Sunday. Got it into my truck and into my garage at great risk to life and limb... but it's home now. I will be picking up a manual this week and want to make sure I have the tools I need. The regulator/rectifier is bad. Do I need to pull the flywheel to get to it...
First, thanks to all that helped me make the decision to take the plunge on this engine in my previous thread.
The model number on this 1995 130 Hp engine is J130TXAOP, it is a very clear number on the plate. The parts model look up database that I used does not have a 1995 130 Johnson with a...
Let me say first, that while my budget is pretty smoking tight... I could stretch to handle either a used or rebuilt of the engines I am looking at. New is simply out of the question for now.
The used one runs a bit rough at idle, being stored for a couple years and running on an over rich oil...
Hi folks,
I have a 1998 4 cyl. Commercial Evinrude 100 HP engine. The Lower unit on the commercial engine is the same size as what is used on a V6 engine, which allows me to use a bigger prop than would fit on a standard/non-commercial 100HP engine's lower unit.
The engine is shot, but the...
