1971 Johnson 9.5 HP Lower Assembly Cover

[Gerald K4NHN]

I picked up a ragged 9.5 hp Johnson model 9R71R that I'm trying to fix up for a small boat for my son. <br /><br />As I was putting the left, port lower cover assembly on and tighted the 2 bolts that hold the lower steering pivot shaft in place, the houseing cracked there. I thought that I was about through buying parts for this thing. I guess this is what I get for picking up such a piece of junk.<br /><br />The part number from my parts catalog shows the part number to be 383512. The starboard side looks to be very thin where the top pivot point is also, so I may be needing it also. I think that models from about 1964 to around 1973 are interchangeable. Does anyone know for sure. <br /><br />Does anyone have a junker laying around that has a lower cover assembly that I could get.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Gerald K4NHN<br />Cayce, SC<br />gcromer@usit.net

Some of these engines are costlier than what they are worth 9.5. But seriously these are good solid engines much better than a dozen I could name and in their time (and much of it is now) the omc 9.5 comes out to be a great engine with parts still available. Ill bet there isnt a part yard that does not have at least 5 of these on their lots. They are very repairable and reliable my opinion is to fix it.
