congrats!

Looks like alot of work and you got quite a start can't wait to see it when it's done!

I had water at the hole directly below the cowling when it was overheating.The motor got very hot and the gasket was blistered and thats when I notice a mix of water and exhaust here.

Based I what I've been told most of the water would go out the exhaust at the prop. With the new impellor the volume and pressure doubled what I had before at the tel-tale. I'm just happy to see the temp drop off, I can rest my hand on the top of the engine and feel warmth, not skin searing...

The thing that I see that is encouraging is the types of 2-stroke oils. They are making them to be as environmentally freindly. This, I hope , will extend the excistance of the lightweight 2- strokers. I hated it when they converted all the televisions to Digital, now I can't even go out in the...

Start with the carb. maybe run some seafoam through it to clean it out. worst come to worst you may have to re-build it, have a look at the fuel pump also. change the fuel lines if they're old. Spin

Well, low and behold , I got the motor all bolted back together and tighten down , ran it on the muffs for about 35 min, running beatifully! Warm to the touch, not the pippin' hot temps it was running at. At idle you can watch the tell tale stream pulsating as the thermostat opens and closes...

Okay Folks, I got the powerhead off last night and sure as heii the outlet tube was plugged. I went ahead and replaced both grommetts (one for the supply and one for the outlet side), the base gasket and now I'm ready to re-assemble. Didn't change the fuel line it was replaced a year ago, but I...

Thanks Pappy, yes thats the ports I was reffering to (4holes above the cavitation plate). I'm anxious to tear into it, but I'm waiting for parts. When they talk about 6 bolts are they talking about the 4 bolts at the driveshaft housing and the 2 bolts below the steering shaft? We have a new...

Papp, I got my new impeller installed and ran it last night, I have quite the improvement of volume and pressure. Yet , I'm not seeing any water at the exhaust port above the lower unit and it is still running to hot. What is it I need to do to get to the water outlet grommets? To remove the...

Can anyone tell me what the port/hole is in the front of the lower unit is? Thanks

Thanks ,Pappy. I did remove the lower unit last night. Everything came out fine and the impellor is a definite must replace. I was able to check the gormmets and appear to be good. While I had the lower unit off, I removed the tell tale nozzle and shot some wd-40 up in there and waited, then...

Can someone tell me if I can remove the sideplates on the right side? I see a motor mount there. How difficult would it be and do I need special tools? Thanks.Spin

Will do! I'm just trying to collect as much information as I can before I sit down and take it apart. It's like a watch , I don't want to have something go shooting past my ear and not know what it is! I will be ordering parts I figure to replace as much as I can so i don't have to go back for...

Thanks For the replies, NoMo, when I had the head off I pulled the water jacket I cleaned it throroughlyand then replaced the thermostat. The port your referring to that had the silt and sand came out, was that the port on the head on the bottom? When i just replaced the head gasket I tried to...

Last year I got into some low tide silt and I overheated my motor. Over the winter I pulled and replaced the headgasket and the thermostat, I went out the other day for the second time out and overheated again. Now I have plenty of water at the Tell tale hole. I,ve pulled the head replace yet...

I bought a second hand Garmin GPS/FF. the unit was about 7 years old and hardly used. The reson I got it is because it has a 7" screen. The person I bought it from was upgrading to a color unit. I paid $ 70.00. Just about as much as a new 3.5" FF.

yes 1985, 15 hp johnson

:D :D :D Looks great! Now go catch some fish! Are you going to mount a trolling motor???

I have a 14' sea nymph big water. I get to about 21-22 mph gps. 6 gallon gas and I wiegh just 190#. I've tried moving the gas forward to see if it would help with speed , but it dosen't. I will help the steering though. My cavitation plate is just below the botom of my boat. Hope this helps. Spin
