Could someone point me in the right direction as to where I might obtain a new prop shaft seal for my trusty '53 15 HP Evinrude Fastwin?<br /><br />Thanks in advance!!
Have not participated on this site for some time & upon reading recent posts I began to wonder why there are so many posts regarding 'old' Johnsonson & Evinrude than those of Mercury engines of the same vintage. Is it because of numbers manufactured or is it just that there are more 'survivors'...
Have Clymer's & Seloc manuals for my engines. Seloc is very good for diagnostics but wanting for illustrations. Clymer is pretty much the opposite (at least the one I have) but much too generic. Would love to find a web site that has illustrations for older engines (guess everybody would) or to...
Bought a used lower unit. Screws in skeg/lower gearcase housing will not budge. Need to remove it because it has an oil leak around the shift rod. Have had the lower unit upside down & the screw head recesses soaking in wd-40 for 5 days--still no go. Do not want to break them off in the lower...

I have been told it is not possible to convert a 2 line fuel system as used on old Johnsons & Evinrudes to a single line system. Is this true? Read another post here that indicates it can be done??<br /><br />Have done a search here but found nothing. Maybe I did not use proper terminology in my...
I earlier posted about my Johnson 9r-69s 9.5hp & my difficulty in removing the lower unit to find an oil leak. Tonight, with some 'sweet talk' & a little TLC, I got the lower unit off BUT...the splined drive shaft separated from the lower unit instead of the powerhead. Does it make any...
My 9.5 Johnson leaks gear oil through the exhaust while stored lying on its back with the prop & cowling housing facing down. The lube is not coming from the prop shaft seal and it only leaks if the engine is positioned as described above. It was stored in that position approx 1.5 yrs before the...
My beloved 9r-69s had a 'run-in' with a river rock while drifting downstream. The collision broke off the acorn nut cap on one motor mount & cracked one side of the clamshell housing. I had the crack welded but did not replace the motor mount @ that time. I would now like to do so & would like...
