    Engine color codes- 62 Johnson “warm white.”

    Tried this. I even tried to spray a fresh part with the spray can and for some reason this particular white Johnson uses comes out wrong. I even buffed up a part and let them scan it. It came out really green. Thank you for posting. Luckday

    Engine color codes- 62 Johnson “warm white.”

    In the car world every painted item has a paint code. You can take that code to either a body shop supply company or a good auto parts store that mixes and sells automotive paint and get that color made to spray - typically in a spray gun form. My personal choice is a Hvlp gun. Is there a...

    Fiberglass resin question

    Thanks for all the replies people. Love it. I ended up using an AC plywood for most of the project. The marine grade stuff is nice but I decided to save it for more important pieces. You’re right 100% on sealing properly is most of the battle. Honestly my 14’ boat here lasted all these years...

    Need help finding a part

    Thank you. That particular one has been coming up in searches along with a few more. It was so complete I hated to take that one away from some else who needed a full cover when all I need is that one part. It was a back up plan for sure. Thank you for the assistance. Luckday

    Where do I find the factory float tool for my 88' Johnson 110? I've been watching eBay and other sites with no luck and to keep pulling off my carbs to "guess" at a proper height is getting a bit much.
