    Help identifying Johnson Outboard

    Could someone please help me identify the year and make of my motor. I was told it was a 1991 225hp but there is no sticker showing the model on the transom bracket. All I have is the serial # from the freeze plug. I would greatly appreciate all help because I am trying to purchase a manual for it.

    The flywheel nut on my force outboard is completely locked up. When I tap on it with my visegrips and hammer (poor man's impact) the taper moves as well which I'm assuming means the woodruff key is broken also. Do you have any suggestions on how to remove this? Will heating up the nut with a...
