    Change engine oill and filter before or after winter storage?

    My 25 hp 4 stroke Merc (1998, carbureted, Big Foot --- great so far) is the first 4 stroke outboard I have ever owned, so I have never had to change oil and filters on 2 stroke engines over the years. With 4 stroke motors, should the engine oil and filter be changed BEFORE winter storage...

    BF115A / BF130 Questions

    I asked some of this same question just the other day, but I provided incorrect model information (a number I got from the top of the engine). I now know that this was not the serial number, so the one response I got may also be incorrect. Let me try this again with the correct serial number...

    25 hp 4 stroke. Bigfoot? Prop?

    I recently acquired a 1998 25 hp carbureted 4 stroke Mercr, serial number OG735981. Runs good, needs a prop. In shopping around for a prop, I see occasional references to "Bigfoot", which I know has something to do with drive gear ratio (but I don't really care about the details). All I really...

    1987 15 hp Johnson (J15CUD) powerpack and spark plugs questions...

    1987 15 hp Johnson just came back from the shop for an ignition problem that I could not successfully resolve myself. Haven't even run it yet, but I know that it went into the shop with two (new) QL77JC4 plugs and came back with two (new) QL82YC plugs. I cannot find QL82YC plugs spec'd for any...

    Belgium???

    I just noticed while working on a 1991 6 hp Johnson (J6REI) that the word BELGIUM appears (in all caps) directly under the model i.d. sticker. I know where Belgium is and I know that it's a long way from Illinois where I assume (maybe incorrectly) this engine was originally manufactured...

    Fiberglass cowling / cover for 1991 6 hp Johnson (J6REI) ?

    Not sure how the previous owner somehow managed to "misplace" something of this size, but I have not had any luck locating a cover for this motor. I have come up short searching assorted sites and sources, eBay, etc. Any suggestions?

    "Enduro" Series

    Why are no "Enduro Series" (models beginning with letter "E") ever listed for parts anywhere? A 2007 motor is certainly not ancient, but I don't see any "E" models of any displacement listed in any parts source anywhere. Explanations or thoughts?

    15 hp "Enduro" Series, 2007, model E15DMH, 2 stroke, 15" shaft

    I am considering buying this motor, private sale. Runs good for now --- but every motor needs maintenance, repair and parts. As near as I can determine, this "Enduro Series" may reflect motors manufactured for export from Japan to somewhere other than the U.S. That's just a guess on my part...
