Would you take $2,000.00 for it?

Got a '20 115 and working through the 300 hour service and got to the point of replacing the fuel rail screen. I understand how to actually replace it, just wondering if there are any easier ways to...

Thinking about just replacing the coils and plug wires. I see on Crowley Marine there’s different lengths for the plug wires. Is that applicable or is there one length that works for all 6 plugs?

Well two months and a couple hundred $$ later my fuel issues have been solved by a stupid check valve in the vro 2 pumps. They definitely needed a rebuild as the diaphragms were worn out, but the...

Check for water in the fuel yesterday and it came up pure gas with no water, so we can eliminate that as causing these issues. New fuel filter will be in on Monday. New fuel pump kit will be in to...

I have yet to check for water contamination from the tank, but I think where that milkly color came from at the very beginning of all this was at the priming bulb connection and was sucking small...

So new day new problem. Had some time yesterday and was looking around and happened to notice the positive battery cable going to the starter was pretty much hanging out of the terminal, only an 1/8"...

Hahaha yeah I've come to realize the Clymers is not the most helpful which tends to always bring back to the boards. I found that part this morning and plan on getting it ordered here today. How do I...

That roller is still there. I do not have the clear roller that operates the butterfly valves on the carbs. I’ve been using the Clymer service manual for all repairs.

I unfortunately do not a have a gearcase pressure tester readily available, so I have not been able to pressure test. However, looking at the vro vacuum chart it seems that a majority of the issues...

Float bowls don't appear to be leaking. The fact that it bogs down while pushing in the key (only while under load) leads me to believe that power pack may need replacing. Fuel pump is rebuilt and...

Update 2: Received a new air motor diaphragm and rebuilt that portion of the VRO. Surging while under load continues to be a problem as well as now bogging down and dying. When I push in the choke as...

Update:

So the fuel pump rebuild kit came it and I knocked that out yesterday afternoon. Primed the system, got no leaks, everything looks good. Got out on the water today, and she definitely ran...

Update: Today I removed the current VRO (1) and took the oil inlet side off and put that oil inlet on the other VRO (2) pump. Reinstalled the VRO (2) pump back on the boat and primed the fuel system....

Yep, tried pushing in the key primer and it did nothing. I understand the bulb becoming soft while engine is running and fuel is flowing, but the fact it becomes soft while motor is off, even after...

Just posted but not showing up so if its doubled I apologize.

Was able to get the boat out on the water today and still having some issues.

Got a different priming bulb on there & new fuel...

Bighare2,
Was able to get the boat on the water and symptoms weren’t as bad as it was before but still not running 100%. Battery and starter are no more than a year old. Motor fires up the first...

Hello everyone, I've got a 97 Johnson Fast Strike Model: J150GLEUE Serial #G042193339 and I've got two questions.

First Question: I've got two VRO pumps, both are used but one is newer than the...

Good afternoon Bass Boat Central Community,

I've recently been going through my 97 Johnson 150 Fast Strike Model: J150GLEUE doing some service as she felt she was in need of a tune up. I've...

I have a 97 Stratos 282 with a 97 johnson 150 fast strike. Tournament load it runs about 55mph at 54-5500 rpms, and when out just fun fishing I'll see speeds in the low 60s. I'm looking to add a jack...
