    Johnson Kill switch

    The screws should be relatively easy to remove. If you want to get the heads off of the screws just drill them. Use a slightly larger than 1/4" drill bit and drill the heads off. Then when you split the box there should be a nub sticking out you can grab with a vise grisp.

    Motor opinion

    The OMC v6s can sit around 90 psi and be a healthy motor. And that's not even getting into decompression holes. So no the 100 psi rule is kinda outdated.

    Update on my electric fuel pump installation.

    I am sorry why should we not be finding out what is wrong with the motor. I have worked on probably 50 of the 2+2 motors and have never had to add an electric fuel pump to make it start correctly.

    1995 Mercury 20HP what years are compatible?

    Look at the driveshaft splines on top and Base gasket pretty sure they are the same through most yrs. If you find a whole motor a powerhead swap is simple. If you find one off of a pontoon boat you can also get electric start.

    Motor opinion

    Why is 93 psi considered low for a V6? Since the only manual mentioned is for a I3/4 cylinder and those motors have NOTHING to do with a V6.

    Find a longshaft motor that is blown up anything from1985 and up will interchange. If you can find a 25 hp you can convert yours.

    Don't worry to much if the prop doesn't turn when you pull it over. Those motors are notorious for breaking the drive shaft.

    1972 evinrude 9.5 need long shaft or different trim?

    What other motors have you tried on that boat. What is the max rating of the boat? I think it looks like your boat is overpowered. It probably has like a 7.5 hp max on it.
