    1957 Johnson 10hp - broken skeg!

    Hi everyone, I have my 1957 Johnson 10hp that I’m fixing up. Lower unit on it is rough to say the least. It doesn’t shift, very hard to turn the lower unit, leaks, And to top it off the skeg is broken in half. Is it possible to replace just the skeg or does the whole lower unit need to be replaced?

    Can’t get Johnson TD-20 5hp mid unit on

    Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to get the mid unit back on my motor, there is this tube that sits on the top of it that is like a driveshaft isolation tube for the mid unit. It seems like it is too long and the mid unit is like a 1/4 of an inch from being on fully, I was wondering if I could cut...

    1949 Johnson TD-20 reassembling lower unit

    Hi everyone, I recently pulled the lower unit of my 1949 Johnson TD-20 off and drained the lower unit fluid. I was wondering if I should put grease on the drive shaft ( I know I need to put grease on the splines) since it has a sleeve around it that rests on the upper gear case. I think the oil...

    1965 Evinrude Yachtwin 3hp possible bad lower unit

    Hi everyone, I went to drain the lower unit oil on my 1965 Evinrude Yachtwin 3hp and about 50% of the fluid that came out was water. I have not yet used this motor yet and it hasn’t run in about 15 years. Most of those 15 years were spent laying on its side in someone’s yard. Is it possible that...

    1969 Mercury 40 4hp recoil starter

    I’ve definitely bitten off more than I can chew with this one. I went to take off my recoil starter on my outboard since it was retracting very slowly. Little did I know, it would perform a rapid unscheduled dis assembly all over my work bench. The spring has unwound although it is still in its...

    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...
