    Is fuel line too long?

    This has me wondering if it could be a solution for lack of high speed response on my 87 johnson 15hp. Certainly worth considering.

    Mods for a dog

    I have a 14' Sea Nymph without mods and am thinking about taking my dog out fishing with me. I've been wondering if any of you have done any specific mods for your dogs, to make it safe and comfortable for them. If you have please share them.

    How many of you like night fishing?

    I fish lake Java’s at nights several times during the typical year. It is always fascinating watching the progression from plankton, minnows, small fish then bigger ones. The symphonic dance is much like a tight flock of birds flying. It is always a treat and generally I catch several. I use an...

    Garboard drain plug

    I was able to run a pipe up from the bottom and finally work it through the floor by turning it back and forth. I think I had a situation where use of the rubber plug had deposited rubber into the threads and until it was all cleaned out the pipe wouldn't thread all the way. Anyway, once through...

    Garboard drain plug

    The vintage plug looks like what it needs if I can just figure how to get it to thread from the top. The setup requires that it seal above the floor.

    Garboard drain plug

    I've a 1969 sea nymph with the old screw in drain plug in the floor. I've been using one of the expandable rubber plugs but it always leaks a little and I'd love to find something that would work to screw in like the original. My trial and error research leads me to believe this is a 1" pipe...

    1969 Merc 7.5 Shifting issues

    Appreciate all replies. Have decided to table this issue for the time being. After refreshing the newer Johnson I picked up I believe I will tackle the lower unit to see how the linkage might have been installed backwards.

    It’s been this way for some time and I just got my hands on a slightly 87 newer Johnson 15 so my interest has been diverted for now. It is puzzling though and I would like to resolve it eventually.

    1969 Merc 7.5 Shifting issues

    Can you eloborate a little.I’m not sure what part you are referring to when you say seat. I’m guessing I need to pull up the shift shaft and rotate then reinstall in the lower unit gear???

    1969 Merc 7.5 Shifting issues

    For the gearheads out there I've got an interesting situation. I have this motor which I've used for a couple years and the shift lever works opposite if what it should. When the lever is forward I go backward, when to the rear I go forward. I have removed the lower unit thrice and reinstalled...
