    needed 72 johnson repair manual

    Hey Will, I went last night to check the #,I never really looked at it before, now I'm kind of embarrassed it's 200TL78R so I guess I'm looking for a 1978 manual.

    HEY BILLM

    Hey Ted, I only took a look at the prop to see if I whacked anything - there is no damage anywhere so I'm still thinking it's the water pump. I had been looking for a manual for a 1972 Johnson 200hp and came to find out they didnt make a 200 in 72" could have fooled me -thats what it said on...

    I stopped down here last winter- every square foot of this lake was covered with snow mobile tracks. Ice fishing holes too, I may have to try it some time.
