Thanks to all of your suggestions. I removed the pin using the freeze off. It took half a can of spray and some pounding, now its out... I guess thats what happens when the part is almost 50yrs old.
I tried the heat but nothing moves. I don't want to drill as I am not sure that pin is even sold anymore. I looked at the diagrams and can't find that part...
Hi all, I need to replace a trim cylinder on my '74 85hp Johnson. I pulled the cotter pin out of the part that holds it to the bracket.
I tried to remove the pin but it seems like it frozen from the saltwater.
Here's a picture of my dilemma. Any idea on how to remove this pin?,
Thanks
I know the boat was last on the water in '19.and sat since then. Onev of the throttle cables is rusted through the casing which might of caused the shifting problem.
I did do plenty of searches and most parts bought were from Ebay. Some of the prices ae crazy,,,$10 for a small washer..????? Too bad boats don't have neighborhood junkyards.
I have a 74 Johnson 85 hp and the former owner removed the bell crank assembly. It goes from the shift linkage to the shift rod assembly. I searched marineengine.com and shipwreck salvage,both say not available. I did locate the parts on ebay. 7 parts from 6 different sellers.
Before I even purchased the boat, I did some research of what the requirements of are operating a boat. I looked in my area and there are no classes at this time.
