ok not to bring up an old topic but I have a question that I cannot seem to be sure of. I think I need to go down a pitch on my prop. I am running 5450 RPM at WOT with just me in the boat at around 18.5mph and around 5200 with another person in the boat. I have a 1987 Johnson 9.9 with a 15hp...

Well after must research and scouring the internet for a carburetor I finally was able to up the HP on my little 9.9 johnson a little. The last piece of the puzzle for me to make it electric start also came in today, the electric start bypass cover is very elusive, almost as much as a 15hp...

I am looking for an electric start Johnson or Rude bypass cover for a 9.9 or 15hp from the late 70's to around 92. Anyone got one they want to sell or know where one is at? Thanks.

I ordered a mini jacker for the boat this week and was able to dodge the storms and install it today. Turned out really good and I am impressed with the quality of the unit. The cav plate started out 2"s below the bottom of the boat and ended up about 1" above or so. Can't wait to see how it...

Does the motor need to be bottomed out on the transom or is it ok to lift it up some for extra clearance and performance. My motor cav plate sits about 2" or so below the bottom of the boat maybe more, but it looks like i have room to lift it up at least that much if it is safe to do so. My...

I am taking my 8yr old daughter out fishing for the first time Saturday, there are a lot of twisty and windy creeks and we may have to go a distance to get where I want to end up. Wondering how far 6 gals of fuel would take us with our setup. I have a johnson 9.9 in a good state of tune(runs...

We use never sieze on all stainless bolts here at work to prevent galling. Shouldn't you use this also on the OB engine bolts, especially on the lower unit or will it mess the torque rating up or something. the stuff i have is silver in color and i used it on all my stainless trailer bolts and...

I grew up spraying wd40 under the cowl of our '77 merc 115hp. Made it look real good but that was 30 years ago, is there anything else out there that is better? I have heard that wd40 could hurt the wire insulation and rubber parts although I have never really seen this in person. What are...

Wanted to post a link to my project. I looked and could not find anyone who had powder coated their whole boat so I wanted to post some pics of mine. Boat was given to me about three weeks ago by a co-worker and as you can see I have been busy, trying to get completely done by the end of...
