splashhopper Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Since I am now looking earnestly for a small tinnie, I have been following a lot of the posts on the board about boat /engine repairs etc. I am starting this thread for HELP LINKS ONLY please. Here are a couple I found so far: Manuals etc http://www.marineengine.com/manuals/ Parts and repair manuals http://www.outboardrepairs.com/ Please add anymore that you are aware of. Thanks Splashhopper Edited August 9, 2009 by splashhopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Farmer Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks for posting. Would be nice if there was a Trouble shooter site. A friend has a 25 Johnson 3 cylinder. The motor is a night mare . He has spent $1500.00 to fix it and still has the same problem . Motor runs great for a couple hours then has no power. The mechanic's are scratching there heads .

There is a great trouble shooter site for outboard motors etc The Marine Doctor I have used this guys site several times and have recieved excellent help for an old 9 hp Viking outboard I had as well as some tips on servicing my little 3 hp Johnson. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 http://www.crowleymarine.com/ I don't know what your exact definition of a help site is. The link above have a large variety of free exploded/assembly drawings tons of motors/components. It's helped me work on my motors many times. Not all makes are on tihs website though.

Sounds like coils ... especially if it runs well until hot and then wont start Edited August 10, 2009 by camillj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Farmer Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks camillj, I'll forward your thoughts. I think he mentioned that the mechanic said that was his next purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
