I have a new question

[Daddypleo]

I just purchased another boat and motor (woohoo) which is a Custom Angler and a
1967 33hp Johnson motor. All runs well and I'm looking forward to my next fishing trip! I've looked intensely at all the FAQ's and all is understood. I have no questions at this time but I just wanted to let F-R know that if I have problems then he will be the first to know...LOL
this forum rocks!
P.S. look at new question below.

Congrats on another boat. Is that Custom Angler another aluminum v? If so, it should fly with a 33 hp. Good luck on the next fishing outing!

It's fiberglass and its an exact replica of a Boston Whaler. I'm going to take it out this week and report back on my catch
Thank you Duckhunter Jon for your comment.

Re: New old boat

I took this boat out last weekend and it ran great for about 5 minutes. I ran it at WOT then all of a sudden it died and wouldn't restart. It wouldn't even crank over. After 4 hours of paddling my way back to shore, I came home and bought a new battery, installed it and still nothing. I'm so pissed that after such an experience having finally a boat that works to having one to just die 1/2 mile from shore, I'm at my wits end as to what to do next.

Post a question in the Johnson Evinrude Section.

Do you have a manual? If not get a good one.

When was the impellar last changed? Did you run the proper fuel mixture? Have the points been serviced? The carbs? Many possibilities........ good luck.
