I have a water pump drive for the Jabsco pump on a Ford Lehman. I upgraded the pump for a Johnson a few years back as preventative maintenance but the drive was still fully functionnal and in good shape. If you still have the original pump and need to replace the drive or want to have a spare...

Last year I replaced the raw water pump on my FL 120 with the Johnson pump. I didn't think of buying replacement impellers at the time and I'd like to have a least one spare on board. Does anybody know the part number? I'm seeing something on Amazon but I am not sure it's the right one. It says...

Doing regular maintenance on my FL 120, I discovered fuel in the injection pump oil. This is the first time it happens as I have been changing the oil in the pump once or twice a season for the last 10 years. I vaguely remember reading something about this issue on the forum a while back but I...

Well, as some of you might remember, the dipstick fell into my transmission and retrieving it was not a success. I am not ready to remove the transmission to resolve this issue. Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. (Engine FL 120; tranny Paragon)

When checking my transmission oil yesterday (Paragon 200 on a FL 120), I was left only with the dipstick cap in my hand. The actual stick that dips into the oil (about 6 inches long) separated from the cap and stayed inside the transmission. I didn't have any magnet or retrieving tool with me so...

I currently have a Leece-Neville 55 amps on my FL 120 and I always found that it was a bit short on power to recharge my batteries when I am travelling for a few days. I just had the opportunity to buy a Balmar 912-75 along with a ARS-4 regulator for a really good price. I was originally...

Has anyone installed one of these? Looks like it could take away the pain out of oil changes on my FL 120. https://www.ezoildrain.ca/

I'm selling an original raw water pump for a Ford Lehman. The pump is in great condition. I just replaced the seals on it before the summer. New impeller as well. I re-installed it on my engine and used it for about 20 hours. Taking the opportunity to replace with the new version during the off...

I recently bought the Johnson pump to replace the original Jabsco on my FL 120. The Jabsco was leaking at the beginning of the season and although I managed to replace the seals (and it's been running fine since then), I figured I would replace the pump as soon as I got the time to avoid the...

It's time to change my transmission oil. I've only done it once a few years ago ant at the time I got the Valvoline (red bottle). I went to two auto stores this week and they didn't have that specific brand. I was told I could use the Mobil equivalent (blue bottle). Apparently the D/M stands for...

Just came across a product called Seafoam to clean old engines. I read good and bad reviews about it (more good than bad I have to say). Not really considering putting that stuff in my engine since it runs great but I'm curious to see if others have tried it. This is the stuff...

This was by far the hardest and most demanding project I ever tackled on Willy T. My initial intention was to "simply" remove the teak, sand and fair the fiberglass and put a few additional layers and call it a day. But it turned out I got more than I bargained for when I realised that not only...

I just noticed that my water pump is leaking when the engine is running. It's approx a drip every second. Not super familiar with the insides of this component but I assume it must be a worn out seal? Is it a critical issue or can I keep using the boat for a little while until I can fix it...

I need to re-install all my deck filling caps and I realised the ones for the diesel tanks had a rubber gasket instead of caulk. They are worn out and broken but it made me think I could by a sheets of rubber gasket material and do them all with this material instead of messing with caulking...

This has been happening on my battery terminals (positive side only). I clean it up but it comes back after a few months. What is it and how do I prevent this from happening?

I have a 1979 Marine Trader Europa Sedan with a FL 120 in it. Runs great but I'm starting to find it a bit slow. Against the wind and current (St. Lawrence River) I will often drop around 4 knots. I'd like to have a bit more power to never go under 6 and to reach 8-9 with no opposing forces...

Ever since buying the boat 7 years ago I knew I would someday have to tackle the cockpit deck situation. Well that day has come and it's looking like a massive project (what else is new?). Nothing rocket science mind you but a lot of work. I wanted to post a few pictures and ask your opinion on...

My anchor chain locker was one the last places that needed some attention so this Fall I decided to look into it. The doors were in bad shape and didn't close well. Often the doors would pop open while under way and the chain would end up on the bunk. So I decided to not only remove the doors...

Any idea how much it costs to do a complete overhaul of a Ford Lehman120? Did any of you have experience in doing it? Trying to scope out the project.

Ok, on a previous thread we've established that it'a bad idea to simply glass over the existing teak. So next step is to remove it. But once removed, it looks like the next step would be to address the wet core (pretty sure mine is wet to the bone in some areas at the very least). Really not...
