    Made a rookie mistake!

    1996 Johnson 60hp I accidentally shorted the bottom screw on the terminal block mounted to the block [ 2 red wires]. Now it won't start, any ideas where to begin? I can't believe I didn't disconnect the battery, I hope it isn't an expensive lesson!

    Prop, which way to go

    I have a new boat to me, it is a Tracker 19' magna cc. I took it out for the first time yesterday and it only ran at 4700rpm's and 30mph after trimmed out. It has a 1975 johnson with a 13 1/4 x 17 prop. I need some advice on how to get the rpm's into the optimum range.

    1975 115hp Steering Tube

    Do they make different length steering tubes? I had a 1992 johnson 115hp on my boat and am replacing it with a 1975 and it appears that there is not enough threads to hook up the hydraulic steering that is on the boat? I also cannot find the tube on the parts diagrams so if someone has a part...

    Fuel Filter Question

    I am switching from a 1992 Johnson 115hp to a 1975 115hp outboard. The 1992 has a spin on cannister fuel filter, will the 1975 have enough pressure to use this system or should I go to a small inline filter?
