    plugged deflector hose?

    Noticed one of the deflector hoses is plugged? Looks like a piece of plastic shoved in there intentionally. Is water suppose to flow through the deflector hose? I won't worry about it if it doesn't affect anything.

    Scotch-Grip #847 or Scotch-Weld #847 ?

    I ordered 3M Scotch-Grip 847 Rubber and Gasket Adhesive, but I received 3M Scotch-Weld 847 Nitrile high-performance Rubber and Gasket Adhesive. Both products come in a 5 oz. tube. I know Scotch-Grip is recommended as a gasket sealer for marine applications. Scotch-Weld 847 description...

    30hp 1988 - Cylinder head replacement

    Got myself a J30TELCCE (1988). The excitement quickly wore off though. I stripped the top spark plug hole! Anyway after several days of kicking myself I decided to bite the bullet and replace the cylinder head. After I got the head off this evening I discovered how I stripped the spark plug...

    water pump gasket sealer

    Putting on a new water pump kit and just need some clarification. The manual says apply some gasket sealer to the impeller plate gaskets. FYI, j25hp '81 and the kit comes with 2 gaskets, wp housing, etc. Do I have to apply sealer between the water pump housing and gasket as well? I would...

    no seal on water pump housing?

    I noticed on some motors (from the 60s) do not have a water pump seal, but the more modern johnny/rudes do. It appears BRP reverted back to a seal-less type water pump on my motor ('81 j25hp). See pic below, notice there's no seal between the impeller housing (#14) and cup (#63). FYI...

    advoid breaking the grease nipple

    I just got done lubricating my outboard and I almost had a bad experience. My grease gun nozzle got stuck on the grease nipple. Anyway, I pulled and pulled without success. Then I started unscrewing the nozzle from the gun and that's when it released. So the moral of the story is not to pull...

    1962 Johnson 28 hp project

    I know she's far from ready, but I wanted to post a video of her idling. Not pretty to look at, but wow she pumps good water! I replaced the impeller. Also, I resealed the lower unit, but she is still making milk shake. I believe the Permatex Aviation sealer is what failed. I will use 3M...

    right prop size for my boat

    Hi, All. I was hoping you can help me choose the best prop for my boat. The motor runs fine and the boat planes, but its not reaching the WOT operating RPM range. The performance data I provide is based on me riding alone and that will normally be the case. Do you think I should step down to...

    can't find water pump repair kit for M35B

    I can't seem to find a part number for the water pump repair kit for my motor on the Tohatsu outboard website. FYI. s/n 348 25244. Would one of the others fit? http://www.tohatsu.com/accessories/repair_kits.html

    my new motor, Tohatsu M35B

    Hi, All. I just picked-up a Tohatsu M35B. Looks good, sounds good and shifts smoothly. It has electric start, but pull starts easily as well. I didn't get a chance to lake test it. The previous owner says it setup for 12 years so the first order of business will be the water pump and lower...

    25hp Vs. 40hp weight and performance gain

    I was thinking about a newer motor. So this guy is offering me a 1994 Johnson 40hp long shaft, electric start, tiller with tilt assist for my 1981 Johnson 25hp, plus some cash. Nada says the 40hp weighs 185lbs and my 25hp weights 107lbs. My boat rated max hp = 50hp as a remote setup. I'm...

    grease leak around pilot shaft and swivel bracket

    I noticed a considerable amount of grease between the neck of the pilot shaft (79) and swivel bracket (61). There is a lube point below and I'm thinking the previous owner put too much grease in. Could this be a bad thrust washer seal (77)? Seems like a pain to replace. Any ideas...

    problems starting 25hp Johnson 1981

    Just wondering if anyone had any tips for starting hot? Seems to start-up OK when cold, usually within 2-3 pulls. It will sometimes die out though, but will start right back up. Btw, it runs like a champ and idles fairly well once it gets going. I have more trouble getting her started hot...

    "make me an offer" (vent)

    I know lot of folks like to use this tactic for getting multiple offers, but it's getting to be irritating to me. Case in point. I saw an old evinrude on craigslist with the usual story... setup 5 years, don't know what condition is. So to me this is a junk motor or non-runner. I don't...

    OK run with a bad clutch dog?

    Just as I was getting on plane she went "bang!!". My heart sank cause I knew what this indicates. This was only my 4th time out with this new to me motor. Anyway, my question is. Would it be OK to run slow with the motor? I just don't want to miss out on a fishing season tinkering with this...

    boat max hp rating?

    My boat (16' Crestliner tinnie) was originally a console steer from the factory. I got a copy of the spec from Crestliner. It had a max rating of 50hp. At some point in time, someone removed the console, making it a tiller steer. My question is how much does that affect the max hp rating...

    hey northern boys, pull your motors out yet?

    I know the lakes are still frozen here in minnesota, but I'm anxious to wake up my outboard. I have a project motor I want to see run. We've been staying above freezing lately (daytime), lets hope it continues. Just curious if anyone ran their motor in a barrel yet? jasper
