    Anyone here remember or know what the thread size is on the 1952-1964 Evinrude/Johnson 3 HP outboard fuel outlet bung? I'm guessing it may be 3/8" NPT. Thanks to all that can give the size. The reason I need an answer is the fuel tank leaks at the petcock, and there is a new one on...

I thinking one of all condensers may be bad, as I have read on here the condensers from China are not good. So, I ordered two Nova II ignition modules and there...

    Just bought a very good vintage 1940 Johnson Seahorse At-10 5 hp motor. So far, the only thing wrong is the pull card (frayed) in the recoil start assembly.

    Had To Do Some Paddling Today on the Lake

    You know something will probably happen when the day is sunny, warm, and no wind to blow you off the lake. That was the case today, only there is a minor flaw just about to happen. I launched the boat, trolling across the lake and about in the middle (1/4 mile from shore) the trolling motor...

    It's A New Experience- Not Good

    This is my first post here. I just bought a old AlumaCraft 14' aluminum V-Bottom for $150.00. The trailer under it is something to be desired, or someone knew how to make a homemade boat trailer. Anyway, here's my reason to come here and ask some question. The number that is stenciled into...
