    Lower Unit Blues

    Thanks for the response. The engine Model is J25telcca. I did take pics of every step before tearing it apart for reference and yes I made sure seals were back to back with lips away. I replaced every oring and gasket I encountered while rebuilding water pump and sealed metal plate gasket with...

    Lower Unit Blues

    I actually did smear a bit of sealant over the wee gouge prior to pressing the seals in the hub. When you say shift rod o-ring do you mean there is an o-ring where the lower metal shift rod enters lower unit in image? If so I did not monkey with that. Is that removeable?

    1989 Johnson 25HP Shift Linkage Quandry

    I'm trying to get the lower unit pulled off my 89 Johnson 25HP. Everywhere online shows a little plastic nubbin that is popped off the top linkage rod after it is un-threaded from the bottom to allow it to pass through the lower unit when it's pulled off. I can't see any plastic tab on mine. I'm...
