The horn has never beeped from the key being turned to the on position(never knew it should) so I will try grounding that wire tomorrow. Does anyone know if it's the tan wire or the white with black stripe? The ferminator...what would you do in this situation? Pull the heads?

Also, the"glue" is in both thermostat housings.

Hey everyone, have an 88(thought it was an 89) johnson 140. It runs great, when it runs. Last week I tracked down some chewed spark plug wires, this week, while jockeying for the boat ramp on the way in I sucked up some mud and grass and whatever other vegetation was floating by. Did not notice...

Well I got the misfire taken care of and after that I played with the throttle adjustment(thanks for the advice to mess with that after I got the misfire under control) and got it set up, what looks like, as good as it's going to get. I found out that my control box has a unused port to wire a...

Considering it was fine last year before putting her away for the winter, I'll assume something is broken as I haven't touched any aspect of the throttle adjustment until this issue arose. Thanks for the help I'll let you guys know the verdict!

By warm up lever I assume you mean the fast idle lever that I lift up when cold and then push back in after a minute or so correct? I am getting the above mentioned range of throttle opening when i put the boat in gear and push the throttle control handle all the way forward...the lever I...

Well I found two things today both relatively easy fixes. Two of my spark plug wires we're chewed right at the boot so it caused an intermittent misfire, explaining the lack of power. Other issue is that the throttle cable seems out of whack, looks like it only opens the butterflies about 1/3 of...

Hey guys, Took out the v for the first time this season, not thrilled. I backed it down the ramp got it started, it sounded for lack of a better term, very soft and quiet. When I went to reverse out of the dock it had no power, then when I got it into open water,(50 ft away) throttle pinned at...

Perfect thanks everyone. I'm going to wait for a few reviews on their new electric system before making my decision, but I'm definitely going with one of the Bennett's. I've watched a few YouTube installs but i was wondering if anyone has pictures of where they mounted the tabs on their v. I've...

Hey everyone, New here, and new to owning a boat. I have an 84 cuddy and am very interested in trim tabs after recommendations here and after doing much research. So iwas pretty much decided on the Bennett hydraulic and as I was about to get myself the early Christmas present i noticed the new...

Okay great I'll certainly look into the tabs, don't look terribly expensive and from what I've been reading fairly easy to install for the huge improvement of the boat. the only reason i brought up west marine is because they offer membership of one of those tow services, and i wasn't sure if i...

Thanks for the welcomes guys and all the kind words, the impeller, water pump, thermostats were changed at the beginning of the season, I say it sat because he only used it once this spring. From what i know it does not have trim tabs, the only other boat I've "drove" was a inboard diesel, so...

There she is, motor smoking up a storm, gotta love these older two strokes, started right up for sitting for over a year tho so i can't complain too much

Hello everyone, I started my search for a boat a few months ago and right away i found a v-20 for sale locally, fell in love with the hull and started perusing this website, lots of great info. I usually fish on a 36' henriques or a 31' Grady White, so I'm used to boats, bigger boats, but not...
