    ‘96 Johnson 50 Gear Oil leak

    Found a great video for a 40hp that is likely identical to my 50. Could someone point me to a source for a tool to pull old seals and the die needed to seat the new seals? Thanks guys

    ‘96 Johnson 50 Gear Oil leak

    The boat probably had an hour run time at the lake. Probably leaked less than an ounce when parked in my driveway after getting home. I’ve never seen it leak before when I’ve run it on muffs.

    Adding temp gauge to 1996 Johnson 50

    I can definitely do that but does this look like an appropriate location for a cylinder head temp sender? Thanks again

    Adding temp gauge to 1996 Johnson 50

    My original intent was to add a water temp sensor and gauge to this motor. After much reading, I gave up on that idea. I then decided that a cylinder head temp sensor would be the way to go. The kits from Faria come with a sensor that requires removal of a head bolt which I would do as a last...

    I want to add a temp gauge to my 1996 J59TLEDS engine. Is the spot shown in the photo the correct spot for the sender? Thanks in advance….Greg
