    How do I remove "oil retainers" as I install new seal kit to 33 hp gear case?

    How do I remove "oil retainers" as I install new seal kit to 33 hp gear case? I am doing a re-build of a 1967 Johnson 33 hp. At this stage I want to reassemble the gear case, including the Sierra 18-2686 seal kit. Included are two new oil retainers, one around the driveshaft just below the...

    Proper Gearcase Lube for 1967 Johnson 33 hp

    I have an unopened quart of Evinrude Johnson HPF Synthetic Gearcase Lube (778755) left over from a 50 hp 4-stoke Johnson I sold on my old pontoon. Is this an appropriate lube for my 1967 Johnson 33 hp? Hate to waste it! Thanks.

    Johnson 33 hp (1967) Parts Question

    I am converting my 1967 Johnson 33 from long shaft to short: 1) One part I removed was the long bolt (304135) at rear that fastens the gearcase to the exhaust housing, including the 5" housing extension.

    Gale Outboard Parts Availability

    I am looking at a boat for sale that has a 40 hp Gale outboard from the early 1960's. I know this was a division of OMC. Does this suggest parts are generally available, and part numbers may even be the same as 40 hp Johnson parts? Thanks for any help here.

I know the topic of long- to short-shaft has been covered before, but the conversations center on replacement driveshaft and shortening the water tube. I understand the driveshaft replacement, and the parts diagram for this...

    1967 Johnson 33 hp Starter Solonoid power

    I am restoring a 1953 Thompson Thomboy, the power for which is to be a 1967 Johnson 33 hp. My problem is the starter motor will not crank unless I jump a wire inside the junction box from the Negative terminals to the left small terminal on the starter solonoid. As I understand it, that negative...

    Yamaha 150 smoke/smell on startup after heavy tubing

    I have a Yamaha F150 on a 22' Bennington tritoon. There are 115 problem free hours on this freshwater boat. Saturday we went tubing and I was pulling two larger fellows, running between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm. The next riders were two small girls at much slower speed. No problems, and we returned...
