    Replacing Johnson Outboard Piston?

    Sorry I haven't posted here in awhile, guys, I have literally been on my boat on the water any spare time I've had... Which was great... Until a week ago, when I got stuck between Racine and Kenosha, and could only get my boat to idle. I took it back to the marina, and did a compression test...

    How is everyone's spring projects going?

    Mine is going... Nowhere... Quickly... Everytime I get one thing done, I go "Well, I've got it here, I might as well do this..." And the list gets bigger. And bigger. What was "Hey I'mma buy a GPS/Fishfinder and install it..." Turned into removing decals, replacing rotted wood (that needed...

    Fuel Question

    I have about a quarter of a tank of fuel, probably like 4 gallons, in the boat as we speak... I did not put Stabil in it, as I parked her in a hurry, I know, bad excuse, but it is what it is. She turns over, but doesn't start. I'm sure it's a fuel thing. This weekend I'm going to clean out...

    1983 Johnson Controls and Tilt/Trim Questions

    I have a 1983 Johnson outboard, J75TLCTE. The tilt and trim motor runs, but nothing moves, it worked fine last year. If you go and try to move the motor by hand, it won't budge at all. It would also move great by hand last time I had it in the water. Also, I've got OMC controls, when you move...

    Questions on GPS/Fishfinder

    I want to buy a GPS/Fishfinder. I don't go fishing often, but I'm interested in things like water temp, depth, and my boat's speed. I've found a few GPS/Fishfinder combo units, and I like them, but I'm not sure which one to go with here... It's gotta be pretty cheap, like under $400. And...

    Questions on Seloc outboard manual

    I've got the Seloc Marine manual for Johnson/Evinrude outboards from 1973 to 1991. It says it covers all 60-235HP 3 cylinder, V4 and V6, 2 stroke models. The tag on my outboard has a model of J75TLCTE, which the appendix says is a 1983 Johnson 75HP 3 cylinder with a type III carb. If you flip...

    A Good Run

    I'm sure this is a repost... But here it is anyways... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeE92WVe_so A short film about why boats can be important in someone's life... I think this film loses a lot of meaning to people that aren't boaters... And it's hard to explain it to them...

    Random Pics

    I just got a Photobucket account (long overdue), and I wanted to share some pics of my boat and friend's boats and other stuff from my life with my new friends at iBoat... First... The only known picture of my boat, Size Doesn't Matter. Before she was named and had the name on it. The guy in...

    Camper tops?

    I realize I'm extremely new to this forum, but this is a topic that I've been kicking around all winter... If you haven't seen my new member post, I'll say it here, I've got a 1981 16' Silverline Catalina tri-hull open bow with a 75HP Johnson outboard. I like the boat, and I am an active...

I just joined a few minutes ago, and I did so after looking at a few boating forums, and found this one would prolly be in my best interest to join. I'm 28 years old, and I live in Racine, Wisconsin. I am a four year...
