Will this 2007 service manual also give me all the info I need to service my 2004 175HP 2 stroke?

...

Yes, planning to get the manual. Can't seem to find one anywhere other than https://www.outboardbooks.com/

Will also probably get with you eventually about an EZTimer. I should probably check that...

Rebuild kits have gaskets for the circled plates. No way to get to the port side without pulling the throttle body. That's why the guy I watched pulled his. Are those gaskets something that can be...

BRP part numbers 0438996 and 0433000 saved on my Amazon list already. I can probably get cheaper elsewhere, that's just an easy place to save the numbers.

Going to be a few weeks we just paid a...

Second trip today where my 2004 J175PLSRB was clearly not performing correctly. Only getting up to 4800 RPM and 55-56 MPH. On the way back to the launch I noticed some oil on the linkage as pictured....

Thanks. Lord willing getting back out again Friday and Saturday. Wife and I are liking that the kids are finally getting old enough to be left home alone. :)

I had PM'ed the ever helpful Champion Man a question about throttle timing on my 2004 Johnson 175 and he mentioned Jughead's EZ timer.

I was searching for more info on the timer and in that search...

It's been three years since I was around here or had my boat out. I got busy with life and my shooting sports hobbies. I determined this year to fix that.

My Tr-186 with 175 Johnson had been...

If I decide to just let a pro look at it is there anyone you're recommend near Birmingham, AL?

Back in April I replaced the plugs in my 2004 J175PLSRB. It had NGKs and I went to the proper Champion QL78YC.

I've had the boat out only twice since then and both times I feel a random miss while...

Finally got around to replacing the incorrect NGKs with the proper Champions today and changing the LU oil.

Hadn't been cranked in over a month so I did a test run on muffs. Fired right up.
...

Thanks. The O'Reilly near my office has them too. Probably be about three weeks before I change them. Wife's birthday and a couple of pistol matches to deal with first.

So, one thing that turned up last week was an occasional miss at idle. The engine sat from the first week of December until the third week of March. I know I should have at least run it on muffs...

Decided to wrap up the week off by taking the wife and kids out for some bluegill fishing. We usually use crickets but the bait shop was out so they used worms (I tried for bass on jerkbait). My wife...

So, pa-in-law who gave me the Tr-186 came over to visit for the week while my kids are out on Spring break. I was scrambling last week to get the pump replaced in the motor since it was due. I was...

And have to admit another reason for backing out of 60..it was COLD. Air temps in the lower 50's with a 10-15 MPH North wind. I had on layers but not enough of em.

I drew a quick little diagram of how I used to trim vs. what I did today after getting advice here and from pa-in-law. I started seeing the chine walk at 60. I was prepared for it and started...

Some of you may remember me posting awhile back about not getting the performance I thought I should http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=660755

Turns out I wasn't trimming the motor high...

I pretty mechanically inclined but working on outboards is new ground for me. Changed the pump myself in my 2004 Johnson 175. I was sweating it a bit since it was something I've never done before.

Does pump kit 5001595 include the shift rod seal or is that a separate part number?

The sealant I spoke of getting is BRP 0508235 because Amazon said it was commonly bought with the pump assembly. BRP dealer nearest to me didn't have it. Is there a suitable substitute? Would...

Going to tackle the water pump myself. I've never done one but I figure if I can handle a timing belt on a Honda Pilot I can do this. I've read the tips here and have watched a couple of You Tube...

I haven't been anywhere since mid-November. Pa-in-law is coming over from North Charleston, SC the week of 3/21 and I want to put him on some fun fish.

I'm basically having to re-learn the lake. I...

I'm running a 14.5" 24P Raker. I'm thinking I need to play with trimming the motor higher at full throttle to see what happens. I'll probably wait until after I do the water pump in January though....

Sorry to be away for a bit (it's been a busy few weeks). Thanks for the encouragement and advice.

What I'm wondering now is if I'm trimming it up high enough. I'm really not sure how to tell it's...
