hey guys, havent been on in a while. boats been sitting for a while. ever since i sank it all the electrical stuff has been giving me trouble so i let it sit for a long while. anyhow, shes back in business now and i figured it was time for an upgrade so i hoped the old johnson up a bit. i guess...

looking for preferably an 88 model, but if you have anything post it up i will consider it. im also open to 30hp carbs.

well i went from my beat up 10x13 3 blade to a 10.5x14 4 blade and it planes faster, jumps out of the hole better, and completely eliminated the porpoising with one person... but i was very disappointed with how easy it blows out compared to the old prop. i also lost a little top end with one...

I'v dented the front portion of the hull 3 times now going about 25mph over a decent size wake, or rough chop. it doesn't feel rough when im in the boat but every time it happens i end up having to hammer the crap out of the hull to bend it back. it crinkles the 3 v sections. i took it out...

i cant think of a good name, maybe you guys could help? some of you may know how ridiculous my rig is, if not just look in the sig, it may inspire you to figure out a name lol. i run it mostly saltwater in the shadows of much more expensive and fancier boats, its normally looked upon as a little...

shes been sitting in the back yard with the cover over it since winter break, i had just raised the transom a few more inches and during the test run it sucked some shells up running shallow and i haven't got around to ordering a water pump since. a few days ago i finally ordered it up, even...

hey everyone, haven't loged on in a while since my boats been broken for a while, anyways i figured id see what you all have to say about this video. my buddy got a 94 jimmy with the 4.3 and 4x4 for basically free, we got her running and took it wheelin for the last two weekends... keep in mind...

well i did. one of those fancy wake boats, only had time to haul her down to about 25mph. the whole right front section dips in a few inches and two of the ridges are crumpled a little in the middle of what used to be the curve, now its about flat. I hammered it out good enough though so all is...

gave my truck some attention as far as appearance goes for the first time today. just painted some stuff, rims, door handles escelade style, tinted tail lights, cleared the headlights and pulled the molding. i think it looks better what do you think. before after thats still a whole...

can someone get me an online service manual for 78 and up smaller omc outboards. I downloaded one but it ended up for 78 and down outboards and i have an 87. I know that i can buy one but they are a rip off. if not, does anyone know the operating rpm for at least an 87 25hp for sure, I would...

After hours of checking part numbers on omcs online parts catalog i just found out that the only difference between my 87 25hp and an 88 35hp is the carb. 88 is the only year that does this, and i found a carb from one on ebay. this is great! in 87 the 35 was a detuned 40, and all the years...

alright every time i go to start the engine now, the fuse on the charging wire blows, after it blows sometime everything still works, sometimes nothing works. sometimes it wont even send power to the signal on the solenoid, sometimes it will but it just repetitively clicks like it doesn't have...

i have a 20" shaft and i have read on another forum that the cavitation plate should sit level with the bottom on a john boat, so i built my transom according to this. last time i ran the boat i looked back for the first time at the engine and noticed that the bottom fin runs under the waterline...

though it was just because it was a long shaft but i made a riser so the cavitation plate sits even with the bottom of the boat and that didn't fix the problem, its still a turd even with one person in it. it runs fine in neutral and revs out but in gear it just lugs, feels like it wont break...

what ratio should i mix for this thing, theres a little sticker on the side that says 100:1 but that seems really lean. i have been using 50:1 which i think is still fairly lean for a 2 stroke imo. what does everyone else do?

new to the forum here, just got a 14' boat for a few weeks ago for $30 from a friend and have already fully decked, and carpeted it, added a console with steering and throttle and got a 25 hp johnson for $50, runs like a champ now. it all totals out to around $300 after parts/hardware and i...
