How to replace lower unit on Johnson 60 HP


Beerbatter

Question

I had the misfortune of hitting a rock this weekend and it cracked the lower unit. The problem is I have all the bolts loose but the shift linkage wont come out. How do I disconnect the shift linkage on a 1993 60 HP johnson. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

When your in the go box you might as well do all the seals and the pump.

If you don't the labor alone latter will add up to more then the parts. Not to mention the down time and hastle to start over again.

Save time and go through it all when your in there, unless it is so new that the hours are lery low? Odds are the seals got damaged no matter what?

Take a peak at the RockHopper lower unit guard system once. Great system and they really work well! They have saved me and other friends tons of $$$$$$ in no time at all.

I brought it to the welder today and he said he can fix it. After I figured out how to get the bolt loose on the shift lever it came out easy. Thanks for the help guys. Times like this you feel like you lost a family member.
