spacedoorgo asked:
I am wondering why some boats have say 1- 90 HP engine and some have 2 -45 HP engines. What is the benefit of the 2 engines? Or, maybe I should say the benefit of one 90 HP engine over the 2 engines.

Outboard Motor Installation
Thursday, October 7th, 2010I need a good outboard mechanic in Houston, TX for a 150hp Johnson motor, do you know one?
Thursday, September 30th, 2010DynamoMan asked:
It's an older motor from 1984. It's occationaly stalling when I pop it into reverse, like the idle needs to be adjusted, but I also want the mechanic to fix my gas and other gauges. If your not from houston maybe you can tell me where to look to find a boat mechanic, for example what are the listed under in the yellow pages. Thanks.
Outboard motor clicks in reverse?
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010Jared asked:
I have a 1988 60 hp Johnson motor and i am having a problem shifting into reverse. when i first start to move the shift arm down it makes a clicking sound, but if i keep pressing it down it will stop and start to reverse. It also does this if i do it manually at the motor.
when i say "when i first start shifting" i mean in the beginning of the shift when you say quickly do you mean i should throw it full throttle in reverse? also this is a fairly new problem. and should i change gear oil with standard 80w -90 because thats what i have been using.
oh and yes it does going into reverse if i push it all the way down

Hot Water coming out of the front of a MERCURY 200 optimax outboard?
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Julian asked:
I was driving my boat when i noticed there was hot water coming out of the front of the outboard motor. I thought the water cooling pump was leaking but there is still a very strong stream of water coming out of the pee hole when the water was leaking.
I don't have a camera but the water seems to be coming from the front of the cowl were the wires coming from the boat go into the motor.
