    Low compression results... would you trust this gauge?

    simple and cheap bow mount trolling motor solution?

    I have a 1448 tracker boat and an old transom mount trolling motor that is a real pain to use while fishing, You can't even let you're hand off it long enough to get more than one cast out without it starting to spin the boat in circles. It also is difficult to reach and it's not the typical...

    9.9 johnson upper rpm hesitation

    I just got my 1974 9.9 Johnson back from service where they replaced the points and contacts because it wouldn't start or even try to fire. It's also got a rebuilt fuel pump and brand new spark plugs. The boat will start in 4-5 pulls and runs good at lower/mid rpm, but when I give it full...

    9.9 johnson will not even 'pop'

    I have a 74 johnson 9.9 that ran decent when I bought it. I took the fuel pump apart and rebuilt that because I thought that was the problem, and it ended up being my fuel tank's pickup tube had fallen off. So I replaced the pickup tube sealed/secured that, and ended up rebuilding the fuel pump...

    question after reassembling johnson 9.9 fuel pump

    so I took my fuel pump apart because I thought it was my problem, ended up being the pickup tube in my gas tank fell into the tank. So I got the fuel pump back together using leeroys directions, the fuel in and out lines ended up pointing differently than they came out I think. The pump passed...

    I have a 74' Johnson that will likely be needing some new parts soon. Can anybody recommend me a few online websites that sell quality parts at good prices and have good customer service and fast shipping? I don't have a problem creating an ebay account if good parts are bought there.

    losing pressure under engine cover while priming bulb

    took the boat out today (1974 Johnson 9.9, just purchased recently), started up pretty good and shortly after getting down the river it died out and I could only get it to fire after repriming the fuel bulb but never got it to stay running. I can hear air getting pushed out somewhere under the...

    I just purchased a boat/trailer combo and the trailer needs work. Its really old and has coil springs and is super bouncy. I need to move the axle back to fix that I believe but it's super loud when driving, I hear things that sound loose and clanking around. I wiggled the wheels today and there...

    battery for only running fish finder?

    unless it won't really save me much money over buying a battery that could power my trolling motor and fish finder; in that case I'd choose a battery that could do both. My trolling motor is a 27 lb thrust and I have a 1232 boat. It's usually about 400 pounds inside the boat if it matters.

    I have the 2.5 motor and I'm trying to find out which parts I need to upgrade to the 3.5 hp motor. Just reading the service manual it shows that they are the same displacement and have the same WOT operating rpm range. I think all I need is a carburetor but I'd like to know from someone else...
