Hi,
I am wondering which thermostat I should use for my 1999 Suzuki DF70? I use my boat only in the Pacific Ocean where it is currently 58 degrees Fahrenheit. My old thermostat is 50 degrees Celsius but I'm wondering would my engine run better & be more fuel efficient with an optional 60 degree...
So I took the motor out today for a test run again. It is behaving very odd.
Starting isn't too difficult anymore. My new problem seems to be the motor surges in fits at full throttle. The low pressure oil lights up intermittently. Eventually the motor will just die. I can immediately restart...
I noticed the electronically heated auto choke on my 2001 15 tohatsu 4 stroke has an adjustment for how much the choke needle sticks out. Does anyone know where the factory adjustment should be? Or where it should be? The motor is really hard to start and I'm starting to think its because the...
Hi,
I recently purchased a used Tohatsu 15hp 4 stroke. The motor is extremely hard to start. Once it gets start it idles and revs fine. If I shut it off and try restarting, sometimes it starts up with a short easy pull but othertimes I have to yank on it about 6 times giving a full extended...
So the tilt gage seems way off with the position of the motor. If I put the motor in a level position the gage reads all the way down. I tried adjusting the tilt indicator on the outboard but its still way off. Is there something else I can do? The gage doesn't have any adjustment either to...
So my 1996 Johnyrude 70 2 stroke has a three blade impeller. I just purchased an impeller kit and the new impeller is a 6 blade. Can someone tell me which is a better design? Which is the newer type. I'm not even sure my 3 blade is going bad but I wanted to replace it anyways. But at $75 for the...
I have the OMC manual in the mail but I thought I'd get a head start and check the condition of the impeller anyways. I've got all the bolts removed and the lower unit drops down but is hanging by the shift shaft. Where do I disconnect the shift shaft? I see it goes into a bolted housing on the...
Can someone tell me what OMC paint color this is? <br />Metallic Black? Smoke? :confused: <br /><br />The color is for the most part black but has some sort of sllight blue tint. I know its not metallic blue. <br /><br />Its a 1996 Johnson.<br /><br />
This is for above the waterline painting. <br /><br /> http://www.armorpoxy.com/html/about.htm <br /><br />I was considering using their paint because I<br />can't get "international orange" from Petite or Interlux. These guys will custom mix me a gallon<br />for $80 shipped. I only need 2...
On a whim we decided to head out to Two Harbors Catalina for a daytrip. Once there we realized we'd have to stay overnight. It was well worth it. <br /><br /><br /> http://www.slidestory.com/?page=detail&cid=30 <br /> :) <br /><br />Please let me know what you thought of the slidestory. Thanks...
Would the polyester resin adhere well enough? Would it chip off easily? I spray painted a piece of grp console with enamel paint from a can but later decided I want to pour some clear gelcoat over it. Would this work out ok? :confused:
I have some gauges that I need to determine if they're good or not. I don't have the motor running or hooked up right now though. Is there a way I can test if the tach and tilt gauge are working with a basic volt/ohm/amp meter? Resistance values or something? Also the Tach needle seems to move...

I posted a question about outboard electronics reliability with Johnrudes vs Japanese.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=040504 <br /><br />I might be coming into a Johnson 70 1992. I was wondering how many OMC owners had their coils or powerpacks...
