Re: Wanted, Johnson 40 1961 rds23 rebuild parts

Hi I am sure you've now found all the parts you want. Years ago Derek Gowlett at Dunstable Sportsboat used to patiently help me out. with parts for my '62 Johnson 40. More recently Mike Vincent at South Coast has been very helpful for Evinrude and Johnson parts. Just lately, Stu Allen at Dangar Mari...

Re: Short shaft motor wanted

Hi The Johnson 40 has been in our family since 1962, so a firm favourite. It still runs well, but would probably benefit from a re-build. I've got some new pistons on order .025" over size, and if our block can't be re-bored, others seem to be available, even NOS. I can see from your gallery, that t...

Re: Glue used on Tremlett and Stapley Hulls

Re: Short shaft motor wanted

Hi Rapier Unfortunately I can't help your contact, but I'm after something similiar myself. For my mid-60s Tremlett, I'm looking for an early 60's Johnson (or Evinrude) V4, 75hp (or 90hp) short shaft (ideally). I'm sure you know the type - without through-hub exhaust, so pointy propeller cone, and t...
