    Johnson 30 HP model year help? Pictures Added.

    I see on your paper copy that the carb is a 432705. That is a standard omc number. Is the evinrude number on the tag compatible with the engine itself? Maybe the po tried to get it the same for the future? 35E76G comes up as a 1976 35 hp electric start. Hmmmm.

    I have a 89 evinrude tracker that is identical, 20 hp that is now a 30hp. Ive seen that carb number before and I think your'e right, it doesn't trace well. I don't think i ever actually found that number. There are several carb numbers that were discontinued , superseded whatever, but they all...

    Johnson 30 HP model year help? Pictures Added.

    I'm thinking that may be a serial #. Look closer on the engine. There should be another plug somewhere, like a freeze plug, that has the model number on it. Probably just a number, no letters, about six digits. You may also find a part number that will work on the power pack. Water pump part...

    You should be able to find a number somewhere on the powerhead itself. Maybe on a plug installed on the engine? Some internet searching suggests the number is on the engine somewhere. Hank

    Greetings! And... SmokerCraft Re-build

    I did the same thing while launching alone last Nov. The rope broke , I stepped out of the truck and thought, crap now what?! Waded ,swam out and brought her back. One of my buddies came along later in the day and wanted to know why i was all wet when I was in a perfectly good boat. Yuk, Yuk.

    I am so excited! Going on a striper fishing trip

    One of the most awesome sights I've ever seen was on Lake Hartwell in 1987. We were out late at night fishing and had a couple floating lights out beside the boat to bring in the bait. Some really big stripers, AND I MEAN REALLY BIG! , tore into those baitfish. They looked like fighter jets...

    Lowe 1852 Bass Boat Mod - Electric Only

    Interesting. Is this a common mod for these waters? Sure seems like a lot of battery wt. to be handling, launching and so forth. I'll bet it will motor a long time and have decent speed tho!

    tell me about this 3hp rude

    Ive got a 3hp twin evinrude 1965 model that I use on 10 and under lakes. They work perfect for slow trolling, just make sure the water pump is good. You won't see any pee or steady discharge, just a good mist. It moves my boat pretty good even with 2 adults and 2 kids aboard. Worth? Depends, Ive...

    20 hp 1989 evinrude tracker motor

    Hey all. Yes, it's suspiciously fast. However, in Wv our lake restrictions are 10 hp or under. I have a 3 hp Evinrude that works for that. The modified 20 is for river running on the Ohio and other rivers. Plus I haul this baby south and fish the bay's and tidal rivers in Sc. Working out good!
