I have a 1990 15 horse Johnson outboard. I got it from a friend who didn't run it for a few years. I am having some issues with the water pump and the carb I think. I replaced the water pump, and tested it. When I got it started, at a low idle the water indicator would almost spray, instead...

Thanks so much for these links! Just replaced my water pump on my 1990 15hp Johnson, thanks to these threads it only cost me parts! Seth-

None of the home improvement places have the Parkers. Cabela's has it in store or online. Seth-

I was finally able to get more done on my boat and trailer. I cleaned off the bearing buddies and repainted my rims. I also greased up the bearings and got them up to snuff. I am having a hard time finding the right sized bearing buddy bras though. I decided to build some trailer guides...

UtahBassKicker- I am in the process of building the same trailer guides you have there. I am working on the best way to attach these to my trailer. Have you come up with anything yet?? I might end up attaching them to the top of the fenders....I am unsure if that would be stout enough to...

Did a little finishing work. Got the pull tabs on the doors, and put some bungees on for the rods. Bent this closed so it doesn't end up flying off into the water. I am pretty much as far as I can go with the mods due to funds. I hopefully will be able to get a batter, trolling motor...

It is looking really good! What size motor is on that bad boy? Seth-

NICE! That is pretty much what I was looking for, but couldn't find. Nice boat! Seth-

I got some left over Herculiner from a buddy of mine so I decided to put some on. Here is some of the prep. Putting it on. Used the supplied roller and a brush. Worked really well. Once is starts setting up you need to take off the tape, otherwise once it dries, it is SUPER hard to...

I do have a dog, but that's not from him.....the previous owner has like 3 dogs. Are the hubs specific to the trailer? And where do I start when pulling them apart. I really don't want to mess them up. Seth-

I need a little help... This is what my wheels and hubs look like. Am I going to need new baring and hubs? What size and how do I measure to find out what size they are? Seth-

I used 100 grit sand paper. I took the time while the boat was drying to replace the bunks on the trailer. I got new 2X4 and coated them in the Parker's boat paint. Then covered them in the carpet. Marked centers, and then mortised out where the bolts will sit. I put lock nuts on these...

The cost so far has been about $150....for me. The paint I got from a buddy who used it on his boat and had left over so no cost there. Got some lumber from the cull bin at Home Depot, had some left over 2x3s and 2x4s, and a few simpson strong tie brackets laying around. I had to buy mostly...

A gallon of the Parker Boat Paint will a boat this size just fine.....probably with a bit left over. You can get it at Cabela's for about $40...

Feels like I might be making some progress. The back "deck" area is now attached and I should be putting the seat mount down in the next few days. Front "deck" complete. The seat is what came with the boat, I will upgrade at a later date. Next up is the outside of the boat and work a...
