Thanks, Phil. Would you believe I just had brunch this morning with the local chapter president of AOMC and FORGOT TO ASK HIM! DOH!
Sucks to get old.....

Has anyone converted their two cycle outboard coils to automotive-type coils? I have a 1959 McCullough Flying Scott. It has three coils and I keep having issues with one or more cylinder "missing". I saw a motor similar to mine a few years ago and it had the automotive coils on it. That bo...

If you go on Saturday, you'll be 24 hours early! Show is on SUNDAY AUGUST 11.

I like what you are selling, Torchie. I'm not near the motor. How does one check for proper seating and then make the fix?

Hope someone can I.D. this issue for me.... '57 Johnson 35hp. Black oil stuff running down the side of the motor. Motor runs a little rough, sometimes seems to be on one cylinder and then back to two. Changed the coils and plug wires. I wonder if the bottom engine seal is the culprit? http://i209.ph...

Johnson control cables are way too long for the boat. How do you deal with this? Is there a correct way to shorten them? Engine-side or control-side?
I'm talking about 5 feet worth too long!

Thanks,
John

I've got a Johnson RDSL-20 long shaft motor I'd like to put on a 14' Cruisers Inc Holiday. The boat has a 15" transom. I have a short drive shaft but wonder about the water tubes and the shift rod. Taking the 5" spacer out...does that mean I need to cut 5" off the water tubes and shif...

It may be a while before I need them. Let me know if you find 'em. I'll check in before I order from Peter.

I'm going to be late for work due to that site! Thanks!

How proud you must be! Congratulations on an outstanding project and end result. People like you with the passion for preserving the art of wood boats are a special lot. Hats off, my friend!

Does anyone know where I can get decals for the Johnson Mile Master gas can? Would like to paint and re-decal if possible.

Excellent! Now where do I find motors as nice as yours, Andreas!

Thanks, Phill...that's one thing I can't blame on the bourbon! My sister in law has just purchased a 16' Yellow Jacket. She thinks it would look really cool with twin 35's on it. Finding one nice vintage motor is one thing. But two....and one that spins in the opposite direction, yet....sounds like ...

Somewhere I heard (read?) that twin outboards need to turn the props in opposite directions. Is this true or did I make this up in a bourbon induced haze?

Can't beat free fins! Got me one of those steering wheels, too!
