I’ve tried my best to search, but have had little luck. Please forgive me if this is redundant and point me in the right direction. I currently own a 2015 16’ Blazer with a 60 jet on it. It has the 27” transom. It has been a wonderful handling boat. Absolutely would go this route again. No...

Will order one asap. Ordered the grease and hickamajigger to fit on end of grease tube. Thank you so much for taking time to educate me. I really appreciate it.

Agreed. Will see if I can find hose to fit it and some small clamps. Or should I be buying something more specific?

Thanks for the pics. Maybe mine is older. It is on a 1985 Johnson and I presume it was on there since new. Zero marks, scratches, scuffs on the unit. The starter looks like it's never been used. I'm pretty sure this unit sat most of its life. The only external thing I'm seeing is that the...

Years ago,(about1994) I was given a contraption that I thought I'd never use. I really didn't even know what it was until recently. Fortunately I put it in the garage and remembered it was there. An adjustable aluminum clamp (looks like a trolling rod holder)with an aluminum pole and mounting...

OK....took a pretty good look at the rubber boot. There is a relief hole at the top that I'm guessing is to let excess grease out. I pinched off the opening and squeezed the rubber boot pretty well and it seemed to have no other leaks. It is kept in place with a zip tie which seems tone on...

Thank you. Which grease is recommended? I do apologize, jets are foreign to me still.

Have a new to me 1985 Johnson 60/40 with outboard jet conversion on it. Grease coming out(see pic). What's the cause/fix? Which grease should I be using?

Ok. The person that talked to me from Jamestown distributors said I'd have to use old reference numbers to order and to call sea star(teleflex) to get those numbers. I called weeks ago and have yet to receive a call back.

Have been busy with work and am embarrassed to say I've never had my new boat on the water yet. It is a 16' Blazer with an '85 Johnson 60/40 with a Johnson control from the same era. Problem I'm having is finding the proper teleflex or equivalent parts to go with it. I have 6...

Yes. Controls for throttle and shift. I've never seen the loop at the outboard but am thinking its a good idea.

Never measured for controls before.....from what I've read, "Measure from control along unobstructed cable routing to center of outboard. Add four feet to allow for loop which provides unrestricted engine move ment. Round up to next whole foot and order required cable part number. (Last two...

Square nosed boat covers with 27"transom and side console are hard to find. Boat covers direct tried their best to help me but could not get a square nosed cover to fit my boat. They emailed me today with the news. Ended up going with sealskincovers.com (we'll see how well it...

Sorry. I see that's not your avatar. I need to pay more attention.

Thanks. Looks like a good idea. Is that what you used in your avatar?? If so, it looks pretty tall, so I'm guessing it's a custom cover. I'd bet no rain sits on it.
