Wise Boat Seats Boating
I'm torn: Some say I bought a motor too old, others say it always good business last! "
So I bought a 1970 Johnson 50 hp Boat with a 1970. Carbohydrates are being rebuilt now, but runs fine otherwise with great compression. The boat is in good shape, came with a trailer, the original databases in great shape, original convertible top and sunny / rainy days. I have everything for under $ 1000, including the tune-up / carbohydrates. Now, with Sure, I'd love to have bought a fishing boat in 2010, but money talks. That said, what is your personal school of thought on this. I did well handling wise? I had a 1950 Mercury, which lasted until a few years ago, Johnson is up there in quality. The interior of the engine is very clean, only seen fresh water and winterized yearly. I'm curious, this is a business you think well outboard of age (37 years) are good, if well cared for? 2 times.
Johnson / Evinrude from years 70 are good engines. They were manufactured at the height of the OMC (Outboard Marine Corporation), before they went into financial difficulties due to mismanagement. The fifty twin horse was a great engine, different from that trembled a little at idle, due to its "lightweight flywheel. Very durable engine. Most repair parts are still available through the BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products) which bought Evinrude / Johnson OMC when collapsed. The carbs you speech were used in many different models then, with only a change in jetting to each track's hp, so all parties should not be available for a long time. It would not hurt to get a set seal to the bottom of the unit and hang onto as seals and gaskets are unavailable in the future. Check your repair guy synchronizes carbs each other and with the advance mechanism of time: this is the key for fast acceleration and a smoother idle. You can add a weight plate to the top of the wheel to make it idle better, but it will slow your acceleration / deceleration a little. Be sure to use MAC Mercury or two times of oil, not marks out. Use oil TCW-III. You start the engine lubricating qualities and is a flashpoint for clean burning is ideal for this engine. If you change the hydro-electrical, be sure to destroy the unity ——- lower the hydraulic pump is no longer available. Good luck.
