Thanks, I just found a generic color coded chart last night, got it fired up this morning, sounds real good,. :lol: No forward, so I (without a manual)...(uh oh..) #-o tried to take off bottom prop gear housing, :roll: and I think Im screwed. :oops: I need to separate it and got it to drop...

Here are the standard wire colors used in the boating industry since the late 70s. When re-powering a boat with a newer motor this is a handy reference. Most boats use these standards but always double check in case changes have been made...

I have a 1982 Johnson 2 stroke and the 8' power cable coming out of it is cut off. I dont have the diagram to allow me to start it. Any help appreciated. The wire colors are : heavy red w purple stripe (I figure its to battery 12+) Black w yellow stripe (I figure its to battery 12-) bare ground...

Hi guys, I got a 82 Johnson 35hp electric start motor on my 20' Ouachita project. Problem for now is that I got it as is and as is, the 8 foot long big black power cable that comes out of it has 7 insulated wires and a bare ground inside it and was hacked off. I didnt get the keyswitch part for...

Can the foam be saturated by water over time? or is it a special kind ? Boat looks Killer ! =D>

Well heres another few pics of my first Jon Boat project. I sanded the motor cover on my 1976 25 hp Evinrude down, and got a pair of sweet decals and put a stripe on it for flavor. It has electric start, and scoots pretty good. I put the trolling motor power cable on same side as steering...
