The Johnson 18 is a comparatively care-free boat. There's no bottom paint, running lights, head, engine, galley, bilge... But after a few years of fun, you'll probably be in the market to repair or replace something that broke.

Some repairs are straight forward, others are a little more tricky. We've seen or heard about most things you'll want to fix, so read on to benefit from those who have gone before.

Please visit the Johnson 18 One Design if there's a topic we haven't covered or if you need more information on something we have.
