    Older 40 Johnson vs. four stroke 60 or 75

    Just returned from 10 days at a long reservoir in Oregon. Great time but long reservoir and large loads proved difficult. Now I am thinking new motor. The boat is a 21 ft. Lund Angler built in 1994 and the motor is also a 1994. It doesn't have many hours on it and ran like a top BUT. My...

    Mounting electric trolling motor

    Has anyone tried mounting a bracket forward of the playpen for an electric trolling motor. Thought if it worked you could then use a stern mount motor with a shorter shaft - both of which are more affordable. If you use a remote control it could be low and out of the way. My two concerns are...

    The manual says remove screw securing shift rod to shift rod connector. I don't see any way to access the screw without removing the VRO assembly. Am I missing something. For some reason the manual doesn't mention this part at all. Just hoping there is some easier way. I am trying to...

    VRO oil Leak - 1994 Johnson 40 horse

    New motor to me with an obvious leak where the oil line attaches to the motor. My question is - does this suggest that there is likely issues with the fuel pump or as simple as just a loose attachment. Not wanting to start the VRO debate anew I am just trying to trouble shoot to avoid future...

    Lund pontoon

    I just purchased a 1994 Lund pontoon. Now I find they are a little rare because I haven't been able to find another on the internet or any information about them. If some one out there has one or has information about them please let me know. I am fixing this one up and would at least enjoy a...
