My 89 Johnson 8hp got in a fight with some lines at our dock and the motor will no longer push or pull my sailboat. The motor itself is fine, but something got broke in the lower unit. I am waiting on a progress report from my dad, who is disassembling the lower unit, to see if he can find what has broken.
In the meantime, I found a 93 Evinrude 9.9hp on craigslist that was submerged for an undetermined amount of time (so the motor is junk) but he claims the lower unit is without water in the gear oil.
The current 8HP's 15" shaft does work on my small sailboat (Chrysler 22) but it could definitely benefit from the 20" shaft on the 9.9hp motor. When the water is choppy the exhaust comes out of the water and we loose power during the bigger waves.
Will this swap be possible?
If so will I have all the parts necessary for the swap with the two motors?
Thank you kindly for any help,
Zac
