The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
So the Vin sticker on my 1999 EZ loader 17-19 is gone, salt and sun have destroyed it. SC doesnt title or tag trailer so its not a big deal now. Worried that I could be moving to NC in soon and could have trouble trying to get a Title and tag. UI have considered just buying a new boat trailer...
Found a 1986 Johnson Remote Steer 30HP engine today. The seller sent me a few pics and it looks to be all there. Has a clear title and comes with the remote throttle box. Engien doesn't run. Seller asking 250 Dollars. I am planning on checking the comorpession on the engine, checking that it...
Anyone know any tricks to getting a john boat with a lost title in South Carolina titled again? My unlce bought a boat about 10 years ago, previous owner said title was lost. Recently we did a reverse title seach with the Hull id number at DNR but were unable to track down the registered owner...
I am thinking of installing a water temp gauge as well as a water pressure gauge on my 1999 Johnson 115 J115PLEEM. I am always looking back to heck the tell tale and don't like to put my trust in that overheat alarm. The problem is that OMC placed the tell tale in a place that makes it rather...
I have recently purchased a 1999 Sea Hunt 172 Triton and have a concern about the transom. The previous owner is a very good friend of mine and told me before I bought the boat that when her replaced the drain plug in the transom that he noticed a small amount of wood rot. The rot only was only...
I noticed that my 1999 Johnson 115 PLEEM is getting kind of hard to start. The engine even has a hard time starting on occasion after running for a good while and then sitting for about an hour. On every outboard I have owned I have always had the luxury of just disconnecting the fuel line and...
I have a 1999 EZ loader trailer that is in pretty good shape except for the two cross members that have rotten out due to rust. The previous owner of the boat replaced the Axle two years ago. The axle is a a torsion bar set up that is galvanized and in almost brand new shape. The two cross...
I have a 1983 Evinrude 15HP that is great shape and runs wonderfully.I am thinking of selling it as it just sits in the garage. I have recently bought a newer boat and this could help ay it off a little. In the last two years I have repaited it, painted the powerhead, installed new exhuast...
Do the inline fuel water separators filter particulates in additon to removing water from the fuel? I have one hooked up inline on my 1999 Johnson 115 J115PLEEM. Just wondering if I need to add an inline fuel filter as well along with the fuel water separator. Thanks guys!
After being without a boat for the last 4 years, I will be getting back on the water. A friend of mine is selling me his 1999 SeaHunt Center conole with a 1999 Johnson 115 PLEEM two stroke. The boat and engine are spotless except for some minor work that is needed on the trailer. One of my areas...
I usually post on the Johnson/Evinrude forum but need some info for a family member. My cousin has a 2001 Bayliner 17ft bowrider with a 3.0 liter Mercrusier I/O. The engine has run great for the last few years but when we pulled the boat out to use this season we found that the engine was...
Been a while since I have posted in the forum and am now back looking for info. I recently purchased a Johnson 2.3 outboard that is pretty much in need of everything. The motor is a tiller steer direct drive model. MOD# HJ2RENR. I picked up the outboard for 20 dollars and figured it could be a...
So i am still having trouble with getting my 1983 Evinrude 15hp E15RCTA to idle. I have replaced the fuel pump, fully cleaned the carb and carb idle circuites and gaskets, new spark plugs, fresh fuel, and also preformed a de-carb, and turned the adjust screw on the carb cam roller as far as it...
So I spent the last few days replacing the exhaust housing, gaskets, and water tube grommets in my 1983 Evinrude 15hp E15RCTA and its running good. I did notice that I have some kind of milky looking fluid that is coming from the upper exhaust outlet and drips down the outer exhaust housing. I...
pulled the lower unit to check my impeller and when I pulled the shaft from the lower unit the oil on the shaft looked very foamy. I changed the oil a week earlier and didn't change out the o-rings that go on the fill and drain plugs. I am going to address this first and then recheck the oil but...
I have kind of a weird question but I figured maybe someone else has had to deal with this issue before and could shed some light on the matter. My Uncle purchased a small boat about five years ago and never bothered to register the title in his name. The reason it was not register was because...
So I was going to order my new parts today for my 1983 Evinrude 15HP E15RCTA. My engine has the newer more streamlined exhaust housing that has a round end on it and not the older square style. When I went to order the new exhaust I noticed on the parts list that there is a lower seal that the...
I was looking for zinc based primer that I could find for cheaper than going to westmarine and spend 15 dollar for a single can and found this at the Advance Auto Parts here in Charleston. Anyone use this stuff...
So I am in the process of ordering my new parts for my 1983 Evinrude 15HP and noticed that the price for the water outlet tube, which looks to me just to be a 6 inch piece of copper tubing with a flared end. THe short one is 21 dollars and the longer one is a little more expensive. Anyone made...
Anyone know where I can find the little black plastic tell tale nozzle for an Evinrude? I am assuming they are the same for most models. I tried several parts websites, tried to find a part number on a diagram, and tried both Ebay and Amazon without any luck. Any Ideas?
