Well, i guess the cast aluminum finally gave out. Last time i took it out i had to go further into reverse to get it to engage. then today it blew up. i am not sure how it got contaminated. IF ANYONE HAS A USED LOWER UNIT FOR ONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW...

1993 model Johnson 48 SPL. When trying to reverse off the trailer with throttle, the prop is coming out of the water as the motor tilts up. My old Mercury had a feature that locked the motor in reverse but would let it tilt up in forward gear in case you hit something. Does the Johnson have...

Just thinking about taking on a calculated risk on motor. My goal would be to take a low compression motor and get it running good but want to have a back up plan if it turns out to be a can of worms. It's a 2013 mercury 60 if that makes a difference. Thanks for advice. Sent from my SM-G973U...

Wanting to confirm the proper understanding of the kill switch on my 1993 Johnson 48 SPL with remote controls. I was lake testing the boat and pulled the safety lanyard and the outboard continued to run. Reading up on the wiring diagrams, I should test the switch per below: 1. Lanyard Off...

https://www.springfieldmarinescratchanddent.com/ Hoping others can find a good deal here. I was pleased to find what I needed - 3 pedastal bases, 1 pedastal post and 1 small stainless ladder the my kids can use to get back in the boat for a total of $80. Shipping was a bit steep but worked out...

I have an early 90s mercury 25 hp 2 stroke with remote controls. I'm getting some awful noise when going into reverse. I wanted to eliminate any easy issues before moving forward. I'm able to successfully verify shifting manually without the motor running and just checking the prop is engaging...

Will be in Vermont for a wedding. Will pack my telescopic rod and reel. Any public parks I can cast a line? Any tips on what or how to fish? I probably won't have time to book a guided trip and get away for that length of time. Will plan to call some of the local bait shops. I know there are...

So I just rebuilt the carbs and put in new plugs in my 1993 48 hp spl. It was not running at idle but would start choked right away. I eventually got it to idle but it isn't perfect. I believe I still need to adjust the low speed needle in the carb to fine tune the carbs. A few questions and...

Recently acquired a 1993 Johnson 48. I tried to start it when I bought it but it died within 3 seconds or so and never would fire again. Today I hope to get it running. My plan is to check spark, replace the plugs, clean and or rebuild the carbs, replace fuel lines, replace impeller, and...

I have a bad habit of watching the for sale pages on Facebook. Came across a deal and came home with it. The floorplan really sold me on it. Would love to hear how people are using them. I plan to add a bimini, restore the back deck which is rotted, fix the live wells and bait wells (4 total!)...

Hello, looking for input on our planned trip. My mom retired this year (still works a part time job). But we are dead set on a buffalo river fishing adventure after smallies and anything else we can catch. He is our plan: Timing- mid September Boat - 20' flat bottom Outfitter - wild Bill's...

I have a 1990 mercury 25 hp 2 stroke. Today was its maiden voyage. It did okay. I had some prop slippage (I think). Symptoms were basically the engine revving but no speed. Feel almost like slipping back into neutral. Engine ran well and shifted just fine. Low speeds were fine. But anything...

Love the look of this motor. Saw it for sale in Ft worth tx on Facebook. 1962 18 hp. Pretty nice if that paint is original!

I'm the proud owner of a 1982 mod v alumacraft. She has a 1990 25 HP Mercury 2 stroke. I was born in 82 so maybe it was meant to be. I found her on Craigslist for $1500 (firm he said). She had a title, and a solid hull with no drunk bumps or Diy welds. So I paid full price, greased the wheel...

New to the forum! Just bought a boat for fishing and hunting. Will share some pics along the redo. Not sure if I'm in the right location. Here she is! She has a 1990 mercury 25 HP 2 stroke on her. Kids are stoked!
