I have a 1981 Johnson 35 and have recently bought a new lower-unit and don’t know the year but when I try to put my shaft in doesn’t go all the way down the water pump key indent is about 3 inches higher than it needs to be, any ideas?
I’m thinking about getting a new lower unit and it doesn’t come with a drive shaft, I’m wondering if I’d need to take the prop shaft apart to connect the pinion and drive shaft?
