I wanted yo know if anyone can help me, my lower unit went out on a 2000 90 hp Johnson 20” shaft. Can anyone tell me what lower units are interchangeable with this one.



Thanks for any help
 
Facts for you.---Post your model #-----Certain lower units will fit with a shift rod swap.------Older lower units will fit by changing the driveshaft and shift rod.-----I believe there is a fundamental design flaw in the newer " batwing " gearcases.----And a brand new after market SEI unit is also an economical option for you.

model number on the motor is J90PLSSE
 
1995 and newer 60 degree carbureted V-4 units will bolt right on.---90 and 115 HP model Johnson / Evinrude are the same.
 
Probably. The 88SPL was simply a 'de-rated' 90HP engine that used a standard fuel pump requiring pre-mix fuel. Mechanically they were the same.
 
The 2000 model 90 HP is a totally different powerhead that the 88 HP V-4 crossflow.----The 88 SPL is a 90 degree V-4 crossflow engine.-----You need to verify that the DRIVESHAFT AND SHIFT ROD will work for the 60 degree V-4 engine.--------In my workshop I could make the 88 V-4 unit fit.----I have all the parts that might be needed.

Ah, good catch. I saw the '95 in your reply and completely missed that the OP's engine is a 2000 V4.

An SEI unit may be a good option.

This guy has used units as well. I don't know much about the business but I know my local shop will direct folks here when the customer is trying to find used or hard to find parts.
