    Ongoing Power Issues w/ '96 Johnson 90HP

    Last summer (when I bought it), it ran great. Earlier this summer, it ran great in the driveway but wouldn't stay running in the water. I had the carbs rebuilt and general maintenance performed. I was also told I had considerable water in my gas. We took it out and couldn't get more than...

    Anchor Line Storage

    I've got 100' of line and about 7' of chain attached to my anchor. I don't have a real anchor locker, so I keep it in the front storage (fish box?). This is on a 17' cc. I can neatly coil the rope and lay the chain and anchor on it, and it will stay somewhat tangle-free. After using the...

    Ethanol - A Slightly Different Question

    I just installed a new Racor water separating filter last week. I'm using portable 6 gallon cans until I get the internal tank replaced. I'm also using all new hoses, and the carbs were rebuilt early this summer. Saturday, I drained both tanks and filled them with fresh gasoline from the...

    Chevy Express Transmission Issues

    I use my van ('98 Chevy Express 3500 with 4L80E transmission) for towing our boat, but only for short distances. This weekend, I had it on a 700 mile trip (not towing). When I reached my destination, I noticed 'mess' on the rear doors and windows and figured it was just road grime or something...

    Water Pressure Gauge

    I bought a water pressure gauge to add to my '96 Johnson 90hp. It came with several fittings to tap into the water system in the motor, but no hose. What type and size hose should I use for this? Also, does anybody know the best place to connect this under the cowl? Thanks!
