Johnson Boat Motor Manual

Bought the boat in 2005, but didn't get an owner's manual for the motor.Needs some work on it.......runs sporadically.Would like to rebuild it.

probably just needs a carb rebuild.

manuals are available at
http://www.iboats.com

I highly recommend the factory shop manual.

Running Johnson 6hp (6 Horse Power) 2 cycle (2 stroke, two stroke) outboard boat engine in neutral after being stored & winterized. It is ...

I have a manual tilt Johnson 1975 (possibly 1976) 75hp Stinger 2 (it was originally orange) boat motor. I'm looking to add a used power tilt/trim setup to make things much easier. What all do I need and what models and years of Johnson/Evinrude will interchange so it will be a direct bolt up?
so just to clarify, I need one from a 1975-1979 3cyl johnson.

Any 3-cylinder through 1979 will work. Later models, I can't say for sure. Earlier than 1975, don't know about those, either.

Before 1980 OMC sold a power tilt unit as a dealer-installed accessory (I have one), it's power tilt only, not trim. Way better than nothing, but power trim would be nice.

A new aftermarket unit will cost you several times the value of the motor; bet you can find one with a blown powerhead.

I recently aquired a boat with a Johnson 1969 20hp motor and have no idea what the fuel mix ratio is. I want to be sure before I start it and there are no manuals that came with it. Is it 50:1?

hi there
you should most definitly use a 50:1 mix J/E changed to this ratio in the 60's and was the best thing they done. A good general rule of thumb to remember the ratio is to figure 1 pint 16 oz. of oil to 6 gallons of gas. Also you want to put oil in tank first to make sure it is mixed up with gas properly. Hope this helps u out.

The one I have is manual and it makes the boat hard to launch.

you can order almost anything off the puter these days but the best thing to do is old fashioned shopping around your home town.
