    2013 Dual F200xca tilt and trim gone

    I've got a 2013 Sea Hunt Gamefish 27 with dual F200xca's that the tilt and trim stopped working on. Both solenoids click but motors will not move, have tried the switches on each motor, at throttle control that controls both motors and the individual switch at throttle control. All I get is a...

    98 Johnson Fast Strike j115glecm ignition devils

    So I thought I'd figured out why I wasn't getting spark to my port side cylinders but now I'm being told that what I found wouldn't cause that issue. Coil on stator with brown wires coming out is melted, black goo running out everywhere. I have done every ignition test the manual says do...

    Throttle cam roller j115glecm

    Need some shade tree ingenuity if anybody has any until the new parts arrive. The clear sleeve that's on the throttle cam roller disintegrated today and I was wondering if anyone had a quick fix to the problem until my new ones come in or is it even that big of a deal? Will a piece of hose from...

    98 Fast Strike j115glecm no spark #2 cylinder

    I can't get any fire to my #2 cylinder. Tested ignition coil per the manual and both tests come back within range but multiple wires will not send a spark to the plug. Since the coil checked out ok there should be no reason I'm not getting a spark or am I missing something? Even bought an inline...

    Spark+fuel=no fire

    At it again with this 98 Fast Strike. #3 cylinder will not fire. Has spark, tested with a gap tester, strong spark will jump a 3/4 inch gap and the plug is wet but it will not fire. Has 123psi on that cylinder, 125 all on the other 3. Can pull plug wires and all have an effect except #3. Anybody...

Stop to idle and take off again and would run fine for about 2 minutes at wot then bog down to 2000rpms again. I can put in neutral and it...

    98 Johnson Fast Strike shift cable replacement

    The shift cable broke on my boat yesterday, at least that's what I'm praying it is. The control box moves freely but where it connects back at the motor barely moves, maybe a quarter inch either way. Got one ordered that's supposed to be here Thursday and my question is are they just plug and...

    98 Johnson Fast Strike 115 idle setting

    Think the idle is set too low on my 98 Fast Strike 115. It will not stayet running unless I keep a little pressure on the hot foot, even in neutral. It runs fine when I give it gas to go, just having trouble at idle. What's the normal ram at idle and how do I adjust it if need be? Thanks for any...

    Not really a prop question

    This isn't a prop question but I feel it would fall in the same category. I've been thinking about adding a manual jack plate to my 1998 Triton tr17dc with a 98 Johnson Fast Strike 115. Can a boat that old handle the extra weight of one? The boat and transom are in great shape, just curious of...

    Anybody know how to connect the engine to a lowrance hds 5 unit? There is a screen that would give me the engine info if I could connect them. Do I need a special wiring kit to do this? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    1998 Johnson Fast Strike 115 water temp alarm

    Took the boat out for a few hours this afternoon scouting for a few spots to hit this weekend. Run all over the lake with no problems but as I was idling thru the no wake zone at the landing the water temp alarm started going off. I immediately shut it off and coasted to the hill. When I cranked...

    98 Fast Strike 115 problem

    I was going to change the lower unit oil tonight and when I removed the bottom screw the little metal pin broke off of it. It's magnetic, I guess to catch any shavings from the gears. Would it be a problem to replace the screw without the pin on it or would that cause problems down the road...

    98 Johnson 115 Fast Strike

    Looking into buying a new (to me) boat. One I'm looking at is a 98 Triton with a 98 Johnson 115 Fast Strike. Been doing some research and I see that some years of the fast strikes were nightmares but can't find much on the 98 model. In the description he says it runs good but talking to him he...

Been talking with the guy alot the past few days and he tells me the boat and motor are in tip top shape. He is even taking me out on the lake for a test run. Says top end...

    1979 Evinrude 115 crankshaft bolt

    Guys, I have a 1979 Evinrude 115999R I've been working on. Had my shade tree mechanic uncle over helping me remove the flywheel and instead if pulling it with the harmonic balancer I bought just for that, he says you can bring the nut up flush with the bolt and pop it with a hammer and the...

    1979 Evinrude 115 electrical problems

    Hey guys, new here and I really could use your help. I have a 79 Evinrude 115 that has no spark on any cylinders. I've read through some of the older posts but am just as lost as before I read them. I disconnected the big red barrel plug and jumped the solenoid and still no fire anywhere. It's...
