    Gearcase Paint

    More of a poll than a question. When restoring vintage outboards, what colour do you like for your gearcase and why? I am currently restoring a 55 Johnson 10hp and cannot decide whether to go with black, white or green for the gearcase. I have seen all 3 done with success.

    Are there any Sea Foam Equivalents

    Re: Are there any Sea Foam Equivalents You wont find Seafoam at your local dealer, they will carry BRP's Carbon Guard, which works well as a fuel additive. For the decarb treatments though, I prefer Seafoam, do you guys not have NAPA or the like in Florida?

    Crank rated HP's

    I would really like this one answered. I always thought that prior to about 85 all makes measured HP at the crank, and then over about a 3 year period all makes switched to measuring HP at the prop. Now I read in a post by Mr Reeves that as far back as 62 OMC would advertise in promo videos...

    1977 35hp johnson

    Re: 1977 35hp johnson To remove the "discs", I use a center punch or pick of sorts, tap LIGHTLY into it, then pry/pop it off. To reinstall, you can use a hammer, and the extension for a socket, to tap it back in until it spreads. The 'special tool' can be made from a standard (flat)...
