    Johnson 20 troubles

    Having problems getting all the power out of my motor. She revs fine and has power out of the water, but when under load I am getting no where near the top end I use to get. I thought it might be the dreaded ethenol problems so i took apart the carb the other night. Everything looked good, so...

    Question

    Its been a while since I have been active, but it is good to see the site is still doing good. The other day I was looking at some boats on the net and my Lieutenant asked a question that I was wondering if any =one around here knew the answer to. What does "Jon" in Jonboat stand for? Or where...

    How about a brain teaser

    At least for me it is. My sister called tonight with a math problem from her daughters class and it is driving me crazy. Was hoping (for my benefit now) if anyone knows how to solve it. So here it is: If you bought a boat that was 10% off and paid $400 for it, what was the original price...

    Lower unit repair

    Crickets

    As promised I have something to show for my efforts on trying to replicate a cricket. Not satisfied yet but here are my three that I have done so far. The first is a little blurry, but it is not my favorite anyway. I like the second one the best. Anyone have some suggestions for improvement...

    Calling Big Bream Experts

    I am attempting to tie a Catalpa Worm on a jig head for bream fishing. I am close to being pleased with my attempt, but am a little unsure that it may be to big. This one is 1 5/16" long and about 1/4" wide. This one is slightly smaller in size with a smaller head. I think the hackle adds...

    Wiring finished (again)

    In two seperate posts I showed the junction box I made (which didn't turn out to good) and the switch panel/battery cover. Neither were complete, so here they are all finished and ready to fish. The junction box ended up being made out of plywood with the same process I descibed with the...

    DIY Junction Block

    Needed a junction block for my rewire and didn't care to pay for one since I knew one could be made easily. Went out and bought a plastic cutting board for around 2 bucks (this is what the whole project cost since I had everything else already). Cut 3 pieces about 3" X 1" Stack them together...

    Been busy

    While I had the transom out for replacement, I decided to do a few more (are we ever finshed?) mods. I added spacers to my fenders so that I could lower the boat as low as it would go on the trailer. I installed rivetnuts along the sides to attach my rodholders. I moved the battery to...

    Filling holes with epoxy

    I have a few holes that needed to be filled in during my transom replacement and wanted to show how it could be done with epoxy. I used JB Weld, but any two part epoxy should work. First, I cleaned up the surrounding area and ground the edges at an angle to help the epoxy hold with a dremel...

    What have I got?

    So I found a little motor the other day and would like to get it running again (just because lol). Unfortunately it is missing a vital piece of equipment. The carb is MIA. The only thing I found on the motor was a MADE IN THE USA stamp. I am pretty sure it is going to be a Sears and Roebuck...

    rivet supply

    I remember seeing someone suggesting a company online that I can get solid rivets from. Unfortunately I cannot remember the site.
