hi...im ken and i have a 1958 johnson outboard (cd 15) its mounted on the back of my boat in the shop with a large tub of water to facilitate water circulation...im pretty shure there's enough water there to have water circulation but i dont...i dought the impellor has been replaced since 1958 . I presume impellor replacement would be the first thing to do however i havent dont a visual inspection yet...do i need any other parts to replace as long as im in that area of the motor...are there any problems inherent with these older motors that i should know about...please reply...thanks kenny J
 
i would get the gasket kit from powerhead on down since your going to have to pull it to disconect your shifting rod because once your new pump is in there any weak spot in old gaskets could start leaking
 
to irishwoodsman...thanks for your input...now...best sorses for parts..one stop shopping if possible....thanks again...kennyj
