Tenders are the workhorses of cruising life so keeping outboards fully serviced and repaired is essential. We have a Honda 2.3HP 4 stroke and a Johnson/Evinrude 15HP 2 stroke which came with the boat and is now 25 years old! This video is how I maintain, repair, service, maintain and winterize our main outboard.

There is ALSO a separate video on how I maintain and servicing our Honda 2.3HP 4 stroke outboard motor here:

My brother had a 1959 Johnson 5hp, and it ran great. He gave it to a Man who had a young family and he still uses it to this day!!! By the way, reverse was instituted by turning the motor 180 degrees.

A real honest human!! Some of the best lessons I have learned are from the stupidest mistakes. This guy includes his mistakes. Great lessons for all! Last video a watched, it was a carb full adhesive. This video, he for got his nut. Nutz! Cudos! Thanks for posting!

I think you did it, but you put the top plug back in the bottom section before you pull the bottom filling hose from the bottom filling plug so that the oil doesn't drain back out on you. That oil was really quite dirty so something is going on in there. Great video as usual. I love how you show your mistakes as we all make them and that's how we learn. Keep that old girl going... they don't make them like that anymore and those old two strokes are far better to run (weight to HP) and maintain.

Howdy from Sugarland Texas. I have a 90SPL Pre mix. I noticed that I am getting 2-Stroke oil residue all over the inside of engine cover and engine. However the engine runs great and never fouls plugs. What could be the problem ? Is this a sign that its time for a rebuild ? Even though it runs great.
