Death of a Johnson outboard 3/25/2009
My boat mechanic pronounced my Johnson 150 outboard dead this morning at about 10 am. I have been in morning all day about it.I get home and see you guys have started a thread about boats and pictures of us with our boats and a tear come to my eyes.lol. I spent the day looking at new boats in Winchester and Tullahoma.Anybody got a spare engine they dont need?

Been there, done that. Took my Hydra-Sports to a local boat mechanic to replace the water pump. There was nothing wrong with it, just a maintenance thing. Well, after a few days and a lot of bucks, I got it back. I took it to the lake to see if it was peeing ok. This thing was tracked on my GPS at 77 mph, so I got her up to top speed and had an ear to ear grin. THEN, the temp alarm went off, so I backed off and babied her back to the trailer. The impeller was put in backwards and I had aluminum pieces welded to the pistons which isn't good. Anyway, long story short, that one is gone and thats how the boat I have now came to be. Needless to say I don't send work to the guy and as recently and two weeks ago I told a friend not to take his boat there for repairs. He didn't listen, he paid for a trolling motor to be fixed and a carb problem to be fixed. Well, he paid for that but after a maiden voyage at the lake, trolling motor doesn't work and big motor won't run. It is at another shop. FATBOYOriginally Posted by GoneCrappieFishing
