    Lower end rebuild 1989 johnson 48spl

    Hi, I'm rebuilding my lower end, I just received all the parts. My question is do I need or am I supposed to have 2 of the retainers (see attached) or do I only need one? I have read that one is required per assembly. I only have one and can't remember if there were 2? Any help would be...

    Dropping lower end

    Hey yall, I recently purchased a boat with an 89 Johnson 48spl. Motor runs great sounds great, but. Something came loose and or broke in the lower end. My question, where on the motor do I pull pin slide rod or what have you to drop the lower end out. I am unsure of exactly where it is. Any...

    Bonding outdrive

    I have a 1989 four winns vista 245. With a 7.5 l I'm just trying to eliminate possibilities It was running but then it died I'm pretty sure it's in the carburetor but I have a bonding wire that's disconnected on the outdrive would that make the motor not start?

    Throttle issues

    Believe me I have considered that, but that motor purrs. I bought this boat with the notion that it did need some work, I've put a lot of work into it. Outdrive goes forward really well. Reverse will not engage. I'm trying to exhaust all options before I have to swap

    Throttle issues

    Omc cobra water leak

    I'm in New England, I'm not sure on the winterizing, though all the water was drained from the boat. And as far as the camera goes, not a whole lot of room around the y pipes while it's running, and it's really hot behind there. Not much room being the size of the motor. I'll have to try it...

    Omc cobra water leak

    Have not had it in the water yet, with the muffs on and motor running it leaks inside the engine bay at back of motor. I can't tell where from, the main line in from transom all the way around the motor from what I can see is fine.
