    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    Gentlemen. I sincerely thank you all for your comments. I was hit with COVID last week, and am just getting back around. I also did not have my Preferences set correctly, so I wasn't aware of your comments. My bad, and that has been fixed. I did manage to adjust the throttle cable to get more...

    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    My motor runs well, but the boat does not go as fast as it should, IN EITHER DIRECTION. I believe it is a cable adjustment problem because when I force it down a little farther, it picks right up and runs faster. Same thing in reverse. Might my problem be fixed by adjusting the length of the...

    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    Many thanks both for your comments. Re your elec comment, you make a good point. Thank you. The boat now has 2 12v batteries in parallel for starting+house. (Also 2 12v batteries in series for 24v trolling motor.) I am thinking of putting in a 1-2-off battery switch for the starting...

    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    Many thanks for your reply. I will use the warm up lever as you have suggested to identify the throttle cable. (I assume the large silver lever in motor pic 3 is the shifter.) Pics 4 and 5 are of the control box. in the top center of pic4 is a soft button. Does it have a function? Pic5 Any...

    I just bought a used pontoon with a Johnson 90 on it. Motor runs well, but the boat does not go as fast as it should. I believe it is a cable adjustment problem because when I force it down a little farther, it picks right up and runs like it should. Same thing in reverse. Pic2 shows the 2...

    water around the outside of the gas tank storage area

    I've got a Bayliner Bowrider 16'. Today I noticed a couple inches of water around the gas tank. In the attached picture, you can see I tipped the tank on end, searching for a drain hole of some kind. None to be found! The water is from a recent rain, but I assume it should drain down into...

    Mercury 60 CTS with Crushed Line

    This morning I noticed a crushed line coming from the lower part of the motor that passes into the boat along with the steering and fuel line. Looks like it got caught when I lowered the motor. Appears to be 1/4" relatively hard plastic (not rubber). I have no idea what it is for, and the motor...

    Lots of white smoke

    1986 Suzuki DT200 2-stroke 6 cyl on a 21' Stratus Bass Boat. This year when I started it up, it continuously exhausts white smoke, maybe with a little blue tint, but primarily white. Not a little, a LOT, and continuously. I let it run for 10 minutes, and it is continuous. I've read white...
