    Howdy again. Ate my prop prop and skeg on a rock pile. Lower survived without cracking somehow and I’m grateful, but I bent my propshaft and need to replace it. Question I have is how to remove the exhaust from the lower unit to get the propshaft out. Ive removed the jam nut and lockwasher...

    Yamaha parts source

    Hello all. I’ve always ordered parts here for my older ‘72 Johnson 65ESL72, but my new (to me) Carolina Skiff has a YammerHammer F150XA and I can only seem to find generic Yamaha parts on here, nothing model specific. Admittedly, this is likely user error on my part. Could’ve sworn you used to...

    65ESL72, reeds, carb mixture

    Howdy folks. Haven't been on here in awhile. Finally got my boat from Washington state to Pennsylvania. Getting her ready to rock for the Chesapeake bay. Last time ire I had her on the water, I couldn't get the #1 or #3 carb to adjust. Put new needles in both carbs. Pulling the bowls, I noted...

    65ESL72 startability issues.

    Hello. Haven't posted in awhile as I've been deployed. I've had issues with this engine awhile back, but finally had it going perfectly for awhile before I went on my desert camping trip for nine months. Drained the fuel and fogged the engine before I left. When I got back, she ran like a top...

    Took the boat out for it's maiden voyage with the new floor, carpet, and seats on Saturday. I replaced the #coil first as I've been having issues with the wire arcing to the motor and making it hard to start. She ran like a top all day long. Burned about four gallons of fuel pushing my light...

    OMC 5.8L oil change

    Apologies upfront as I want to say this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it. Helping a buddy put his 5.8 back together (just finished gapping the rings) and we got to talking about the oil and how to drain it. Isn't there a vampire system to suck the oil out of the drain pan through a...

    Folding seat diagrams

    Hello, I've got a '72 Starcraft Jupiter that has the seats that can unfold to lay out flat with storage boxes underneath. These seem to be a fairly standard size. My problem is that the bottoms of my seats have rotted pretty badly and I'm trying to save money by rebuilding the plywood portion...

    1972 Johnson 65hp.

    Mainly just wanting to say hello as of right now. Found this forum through Google. I've got '72 Starcraft Jupiter with a '72 Johnson 65hp outboard. Just got done doing a little maintenance to it as it's been in the salt a good bit this year. Yanked all three carbs and pulled the bowls...
