    What would cause my FSK16 to not be propelled by my Johnson JW10 3hp?

    I haven’t done the repairs yet as it’s been rather cold and wet today and I don’t have a great place to work on my motor. When filling with gear lube, do I want the engine standing vertically? And can I do it without a pump, IE: using this without a pump to fill...

    Ok. The part I bought is called the lower unit drain/fill screw. I forgot to mention the other parts were drain screw gaskets. Is it one gasket per screw then is what you are saying? Appreciate your time.

    Yes I just found this video on YouTube That raised my confidence in being able to do this repair. I also bought a condenser, drain plug screw and washers. It came with two washers. Do I use them both? I’d assume so or atleast I’ll notice when I take it apart tomorrow, just figured I’d ask...

    How many fill/drain plugs do I need to use when replacing after filling with 80-90 gear lube? So I found these. https://www.wholesalemarine.com/sierra-18-2945-9-drain-screw-gasket-2pk-replaces-12-191833/ Can reuse the drain screw itself, im having trouble finding one. Unless this is a...

    Well it’s hard to grow out of some things I guess and I apologize I’ll stop using “naughty” words.

    I saw this post. With being a newbie to engines is this going to be that difficult? I just don’t want mess anything up beyond repair. I’ve done all but condensers and water pump. What exactly are the condensers. Nor the gear lube and new seals.

    Looking into it on leeroysramblings.com makes it seem much more than changing spark plugs. I’ve already changed those and the wires to the coils. The water pump seems a hell of a lot more involved especially when I don’t know the last time it’s been worked on. Thinking I’m going to pass and...

    If it’s something I can’t do myself and cost is going to run a couple hundred im going to run it til she burns up. I spent 100 on it. One or two seasons out of it would be good for me.

    I guess the $70 one included the assembly plate and screws. Found this for much cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/1952-1978-1969-1972-1973-1983-1965-1968-1954-1964/dp/B00YBGOLYA How difficult is this for someone whose no professional but can it done?

    Mind if I ask why and what had changed by just changing out the shear pin, no offenses meant. Edit: I’m seeing these water pumps for $70 or so and I only spent $100 on the motor. Trying to justify the cost of doing so unless I can find a cheaper one 2nd edit: sorry, is there anyway I can clean...

    Can’t wait to take it out now but the weather is going to be in the low to mid 50s for awhile now of course -.-. But I’ll have to man up and do it up anyways. Thanks again everyone! -Thomas

    Made a shear pin from 1/8 brass welding rod and picked up some cotter pins since mine broke taking it apart. She’s running like a beast now can’t keep enough water in the bucket to keep it running funny the difference between when I thought it was running good to how it is now. Thanks for the...

    There’s got to be chance it fell or something when taking it apart? These two pieces to equal the distance between the original cotter pin. I’ll go look but with no disrespect meant that can’t be an impossibility that I let the third piece fall or something. Found the third piece inside where...

    This is the result of taking the cotter pin off and propeller off. I believe this is the shear pin in two pieces?

    I’ll have to do that because I just tried the method of holding an 2x4 against the prop and starting it. And there’s too much smoke to tell what is going on down there.
