    Can't locate tell tale 1992 25hp Yamaha

    Hello all. I just bought a 1992 25hp Yamaha. I filled up a test tank today and it started right up with no problem. I shut it down in about 5 seconds because i saw no tell tale stream. I looked under the cowl everywhere and do not see a hole, hose, spout anything that would resemble a water...

    Help with bench testing 1992 40hp?

    I have a 1992 Johnson 40hp that came off of a Tracker. I no longer need it and have to sell it. Everyone wants to hear if it runs so I'm debating on building a stand for it. My question is about the ignition. The controls don't have a built in key (like the Mercs I'm used to) so it needs a 6 pin...

    Can you shorten cables?

    Good morning all. The motor I am going to install comes with cables that are much too long. I was wondering if anyone has ever had success modding the cables and making them shorter or is there no way around buying new cables. It is an 82 90hp Mercury setup. Thanks everyone!

The seat is mounted right on top of the live well so I was able to get pictures of the underside by...
