So I’ve been trying to get my Johnson Sea Horse 5hp unseized. I got it mostly unstuck but it’s still a bit too stiff. I thought maybe it could be the lower unit so I started on that. I took out the bolts holding it on and got it off and all I can say is wow. The oil in the whole lower and mid unit has turned to tar. I pulled the drain bolt on the lower unit and it’s barely coming out. I also don’t know where the impeller is and how to get to it. Also what lower unit fluid do I use and how do I fill it?
also the engine hasn’t gotten any more free from taking it off. Are those engine usually that hard to spin over?
