It is very easy, but before you switch it over you want to make sure the jet unit is fully functional and the impeller is adjusted/shimmed...
Never mind what I said, I was thinking of UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight) plastic.
There is an aussie company that has been using HDPE for years on their airboat bottoms, but this material doesn't last long if exposed to the sun....
Thanks a lot Marshmat, I am going to work on it some more when it cools off today.
I bought a used 1993 Johnson 25 hp and the guy said the lower unit and the water pump had just been "rebuilt". Well, the water pump didn't work,...
You would be surprised at what those old Johnsons will run on without any damage, short or long term. I have an old 1985 Sea Horse and one time I...
Geez, is this the longest thread on here or what? I can tell you about pirates. When I was traveling through South America, I was going through...
The only thing you need TIG for is high stress applications, like BMX race and freestyle frames, or stainless high pressure apps ie hydraulic lift...
What on earth are you talking about? This is a boat design forum, I am not a snob by any stretch, but this is the wrong forum. I don't think there...

I have to disagree with all of the above, as do aftermarket impeller and engine performance manufacturers. The things you can do to tinker with a...
I would run it at 32:1, I don't believe in anything lower than 40:1 tho. It was actually Mercury who did a study not long ago that showed that the...
Try Ebay, they go cheap on there, practically free when you compare them with what they cost new. I bought one for $55.00, tho the shipping was...
Lock the steering for transport on a trailer? If so, there might be a screw with a spring on it below the engine, thats how it is on Johnsons....
Tilt is probably all you have unless you buy a newer type transom jack.
You must have got one that was made on inspection day when the owner of Mercury was making his rounds. Count yourself lucky. I have always...
