Re: Outrage 18 with 1989 Johnson 120; E-TEC 150-HP Re-power

Thanks for the kind remarks and advice on prop selection. I am going to go stainless for next season, and will keep the current prop on board as a spare. I have been considering the Rebel and the Viper. The forward fender is attached to the bow railing using a Taylor Made Rail Fender Hanger, purchas...

Re: Outrage 18 with 1989 Johnson 120

Thanks, both, for your replies and apologies for the delay. After tinkering a bit further, I decided now was a good time to just repower with a new 150 E-TEC G1. BRP had a decent promotion and I got a pretty good price from my local dealer. I chose not to go with the "H.O." model because t...

Outrage 18 with 1989 Johnson 120; E-TEC 150-HP Re-power

I recently acquired a 1989 Outrage 18 with the original 1989 Johnson 120-HP outboard engine. The wide-open-throttle operating range is 5,000 to 6,000-RPM. The engine came with what I believe was the original 14 x 17 aluminum propeller. It was a little beat up and the hub was spun, so I replaced with...

Re: OEM Leaning Post for 1989 Outrage 18

Thanks Phil, once again. I think the teak would be a nice touch. Especially after I replace the console dash panels with more teak.

Re: Water Tight Deck Plate to Dry Out Foam

Angus, congratulations. I love my classic 1981 13', which has a 1992 Mercury 40-HP four-cylinder engine. I think if you search the site, and take a look at the reference section in particular, you'll find suggestions on how to approach this particular problem, if it does indeed exist. See http://con...

OEM Leaning Post for 1989 Outrage 18

Good morning. I recently acquired a nice 1989 Outrage 18 with the factory original leaning post. The leaning post basically consists of three parts: (1) the aluminum frame; (2) the top, which is bolted to the frame and in which the rod holders and a railing are mounted; and (3) the cushion, which is...

Rochester Gauge and New Fuel Tank 18 Outrage

I am considering purchasing a 1989 Outrage 18 that has already had its fuel tank replaced with a new tank from Florida Marine, the original manufacturer for BW's internal fuel tanks. I have read somewhere that the new tanks (model 63B) do not have the same length collar as the original tanks (model ...

Classic Outrage 18 v. Classic Outrage 22

This general subject has been discussed before, but I am seeking a fresher perspective and your collective wisdom as applied to my particular circumstances. I live in Connecticut on the shore of Long Island Sound. I currently own a 1981 13 Sport -- in excellent condition for its age -- with a 1992 M...

Re: How to set user location?

Although I've been frequenting this site for years, I too am a newly-registered user trying to set my location. Based on Qtrmeg's experience, I am going to make a few ministerial posts in this thread. Please excuse these. Thanks.

WTB: Late '80s Outrage 18

Looking to buy a 1986-90 Outrage 18 in great shape and as close to OEM as possible. (I'm sure I'm not the only one.) I am located in southern Connecticut and willing to travel a reasonable distance for the right boat. Among other options, I'm particularly keen on the reversible pilot seat, teak gunw...
