    Larger barbed fitting needed.

    Re: Larger barbed fitting needed. I have been told it was SAE threads. I got them to fit into an 8mm hole (Can't imagine it being metric, but it went without struggle). I don't know the pitch. Looks like I will be looking into a conversion piece such as the picture below with small fuel...

    Larger barbed fitting needed.

    I purchased the Sierra 18-7353 fuel pump. Attached is the picture of the fuel out nozzle that is much to small for my 5/16th fuel line. I have tried Lowes, Home Depot, Pirtek, Plumbing Supplies, Ace Hardware, NAPA, 3 auto stores, and Grainger. None of them have the same threaded ends for a...

    Tilt and Trim no functional in water

    Hello all, I have a 1986 Johnson VRO 90hp outboard. I recently spent 6 months bringing the hull back to condition as the engine was in fine shape. Weekly I would fire her up with just the ears on. It would always trim up and down no problems in the driveway. I went to launch Saturday and...

    Hull gouges with pictures...

    Re: Hull gouges with pictures... Alright guys, finally got the old poly resin that the PO thought would be a great idea to slap on there. It doesn't look more than a mm deep and nothing through the fiberglass. I got some 3m marine filler yesterday. Will this be the best approach to fill and...

    Hull gouges with pictures...

    Just looking for ideas on how to fix these, I am almost positive it is just cosmetic, but will not know until I dremel out the one. These are stress cracks along the strakes. This is a gouge that was hit on the trailer with a missing roller. PO deciding resin only would be enough to fill it...

    Throttle not responsive

    I have a 1986 90hp Johnson. I can start it up and it idles fine, goes into reverse and forward fine. The only problem is I do not think it is very responsive. When I move the throttle forward there is about a 1-2 second pause before it is going as fast as it should. On my other 2002 Mercury...

    Gas vent to low?

    I know they make the vents that also go back up to the gas filler, but I wanted to keep things as close to original as possible. Every time I look at the gas vent I think it is to low in the water and the possibility of water getting in. I know I always have the option of adding a water...

    Throttle Box Identification!

    I have grown up on 2002 boat and newer. I just recently got this 1986 with a 90hp Johnson. Not familiar with these throttle boxes. What are the two arrows? I believe the choke is through the key? About month two of repairing things on this. I will start a thread soon with my project.

    Boat seat box idea..

    I need your opinions. I have two of the Wise boat seats. I did not like the idea of pedestals on my floor. People between 200lbs and 250lbs will be sitting in them so I did not want to take the safety risk of it pulling out and someone getting hurt. What do you all think about a box in the...

    1986 Bonito 16ft. Tried to find a model number, no luck. I have some spots to fix and want to come close. Scratch on the starboard side goes down to feathered loose glass I am just going to PB, fill, and gelcoat over it. I know it is so oxidized/chalky it may not matter. I have the full...

    1986 Bonito Bowrider gas tank piping

    I was taking out the gas tank to paint the deck again. The through hull venting system was locked up, even with PB blaster I still ended up breaking it off on the outside and will buy a new one, no big deal. When taking off the black rubber fuel line from the top of the port side I noticed...
