15hp water pump

[Ranger354]

Think the water pump is out. The tell tale pee hole is clear (blew air thru it) but I am not getting any water.<br /><br />Replacing the pump should not be hard, but I have a question about the shift linkage. Where do I disconnect it? On my 150 it is under the carbs. I can't get under the carb on this thing.<br /><br />Thought I read somewhere it is down inside where you split the lower unit. <br /><br />Need a little help here please!!!!! <br /><br />Thanks, ranger

Guess I should have said that it is an 80's model Johnrude.<br /><br />Ranger

After you take the screws out that hold the gearcase to the exhaust housing, pry the two pieces apart a little and this will expose the shift rod connecter. it's between them and towards the front. Remove the top screw and you can pull the gwarcase off.

Thanks Jack. I may be tearing into it in the morning.

Lower unit is off and new parts are on the way. No blades left on this impeller!
