    Johnson 100hp leaking crank case oil

    This is my first boat. So far I've had to fix many things and something new just came up. My outboard is leaking crank case oil where the prop is connected to the lower unit. Is this a matter of tightening a bolt, or do I also need to replace a bushing or gasket of some sort? Thanks for you...

    1984 Johnson 100HP WTL Tilt/Trim Problem

    This last weekend I was out fishing and my outboard automatically raised itself out of the water. I could hear what I thought to be the tilt trim motor constantly running only cutting out for a few seconds here and there. I could not lower the engine back into the water. When I pushed the...
