    Transom Riser Success!

    I was able to get this used at a real good price from a salvage co. on this. https://www.go2marine.com/product/204419F/garelick-mounting-pads-for-ob-kicker-brackets-poly-board-only.html. It's the larger of the two pictured. My Johnson 15 is a short shaft and was way too low even with a 3/4" shim...

    Transom Riser

    I have a short shaft Johnson 15 and a short transom. Cav plate still 1 1/2" below the hull. I have a chance to buy a static mount kicker bracket for cheap. Could I use just the poly mounting board and bolt it outside the transom to get the desired rise. The bracket is rated to 15hp. The poly...

    15 Johnson - add Zinc to LU ?

    I have an '80 15 hp Johnson that did not come with a factory zinc on the lower unit. My motor is a pull start. Questions are - are zincs only required on electric start motors? I will be using it in both soft and salt water, should I put one on there just because of usage in saltwater?

    Seat Option

    Just saw these on CL. Looks like they could be used for additional seating/storage.https://www.amazon.com/Wise-Outdoors-Insulated-Break-Up-Camouflage/dp/B0000AYJRH/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503442373&sr=8-2&keywords=cooler+seat

    Tohatsu 15 hp Value

    I have a mid 80's 15hp ss tiller that has audible knock or piston slap. I'm going to sell it as a running parts motor. It has new impeller kit, zincs and 2 new props- a 9x9 3 blade and a 7x9 4 blade. What should I price it at?

    Telescopic Trailer Tongue

    Finally got around to doing this. A little history - the tongue on my trailer was way too short. But I needed it short to make the transition from the street to my hillclimb of a driveway. My rear wheels were needing to get wet and the tailpipe bubbling in order to get the boat deep enough to...

    Johnson 15 top speed

    I ran my new to me motor today solo and GPS'd the top speed. 1980 Johnson 15hp, stock 9.5x10 prop on a 14' Hewescraft semi-v. Has 3/4" plywood low decks, was carrying 4gal fuel, 2 anchors and not much else. Ran best with the trim pin closest to the transom, no hydrofoil. Cav plate dead nuts even...

    Canadian Evinrude 15 hp ?

    A few Mercury questions.

    What year did the tiller-shift begin? What's the difference between a regular 25 and one with an XD after the hp? Is that the old school bigfoot equivalent? What year is this CL listed motor? https://yuma.craigslist.org/bpo/5677554152.html

    Brand New 1980 J15RCSD ?

    Looks brand new, I need opinions on what would need immediate replacement before use. Like fuel hoses, every seal? Also is the asking price way high? https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bpo/5461164888.html

    2ND TONGUE

    The trailer I have is really short forward of the winch stand. I have to really back in deep to float the boat, no bueno in salt. The angle of my driveway will not permit a permanent tongue extension. My idea is to buy two 12"L receiver tubes and weld them 2 ft apart to the bottom of the...

    Electric box finished (almost)

    Here's the way it turned out. BlueSeas Weatherdeck 4 switch w/ fuse panel. Panel lights up red when off, green when on and dark if fuse is blown. Dual bus inside, 2 wires in from the battery. West Marine dual 12v outlet. There is still room on the box for more. I found a voltmeter online that's...

    New Zincs!!!

    Replaced the Tohatsu's zincs today. Ordered new ones online. What blew me away was how far gone the under cav-plate zinc was. I thought the replacement part looked huge. The one that was in there only barely fit the opening. What other things should I look out for in a motor resulting from...
