    Hey, this video was perfect for me 3 yrs ago when changing my water pump. Unfortunately, for me the most difficult part of the job was reassembly of the shift pin bolt. I would appreciate any advice for how to hold the mechanism and shaft in alignment when trying to reinstall the bolt. Please help! I have to pull the unit again because of major water leak.

    Nice video. Problem with a 1982 v4 there are like 4 hoses for the fuel that block that shift linkage screw. Even with the carbs off it is very hard to feel and see.

    Great Video! Would the process for removing the lower unit on a 1979 115 hp Evinrude be the same? I need to replace the water pump but I am having second thoughts about doing it myself. It seems pretty basic, but there are some bolts in funky places that require some attachments that I would have to get before I tried it.

    Man I’m having trouble reinstalling shift rod on my Johnson 115. So when I get shift rod set In proper spot, when I got to push lever back into spot it opens up and won’t stay seated. I loosened the screw on top of shift lever thinking it will let it slide home but it keeps separating and opening up letting shift rod out. Any advice would be helpful

    Hi Brendon, I have a 1975 Johnson 70 hp pre telltale. How can I tell if it’s pumping water. I have it hooked to ear muffs and don’t see a lot of water coming out the exhaust holes just below the cowl. If I pull the lower unit to put new water pump on, can you show me what to disconnect for shift lever, I’ve watched your other videos and how you disconnect lever but not sure if it applies to a 1975 motor

    Hi there. I have a 1977 evinrude 115 (i guess is the equivalent of the Johnson). Apparently the guy I bought it from, made some modifications to the lower unit. I can't post a picture here but I wonder if you'd be willing to help me out? I cant find anything else on the internet or i wouldn't bother you. It looks like he might have drilled additional holes near the water outlet holes (i think - or maybe its the exhaust)? I dont understand why he'd do that. He did put a custom plate over the holes to quiet it down, but now i have thick tar-like oil blowing past that custom plate. Its really all a mystery to me. Can you assist at all? I'd really appreciate it. (the guy i bought it from was a marine engine mechanic)

      Have you tried duct tape. Jk get a new bolt kind of a special bolt might suck to find. There’s an OEM Johnson website that’s super expensive but they MIGHT have what you need. Got excited when I found the website and they had an illustrated parts breakdown and each item was numbered and had a corresponding part number but half of them are not in stock or INSANELY expensive. I’m a mechanic by trade and hobby and bought a boat thinking I could “mechanic special” it and get a good deal but….

    Hey! It would be amazing if somebody could give me some advise. Here is my problem: I have a 2011 Evinrude e tech 25hp. It is a 20” shaft, and was used in salt water. In a rush, I snapped off two of 6 lower unit bolts. I disconnected the shift lineage behind the intake plates. The lower unit doesn’t budge more than 1mm barley. I need to replace the water pump and seals. I’ve tried some heat but I don’t want to burn off my paint. What should I do? Am I missing a linkage under the cowling? Thankyou so much I need help.

      Are you sure there is a pin? what engine do you have?

    • @MrTestertester
      @MrTestertester 7 лет назад

      Brandon's Garage wow thanks for the quick reply. I have a 1988 johnson 90 V4 VRO. When I'm looking at the engine on the side that your screw/pin is I do not see the head of it. And trying to access it on the other side I can not even see it due to all the wires in the way. I'm guessing I'm going to have to remove the wires. I do not want to remove the carbs until I can find replacement gaskets for them.

    • @BrandonsGarage
      @BrandonsGarage  7 лет назад

      So, yours is similar, but a bit different.
      Yours uses a "clamping" style. Look at the shift rod connector, you'll see a bolt/screw. Pull that off. Then, you can separate the 2 halves.
      Do a google image search of part number 0395588, and you'll get an idea of what it is.
