Re: 1962 75hp johnson

Is it totally ruined, or do y0u just want an easy fix? Parts are rare for this one, and even seal kits are too. If you keep the old seal get the number off them, and you can get from chicago rawhide! If you need a whole unit, go to aomci, or ebay, or better yet get you a parts engine. Youll be be needing other things along the way. Mag parts are scarce, and it never hurts to have a spare belt and mag... just in case.

Is it electric shift or mechanical shift? If it is mechanical shift it will have a shift handle on the starboard side of the motor...

I'd get the fins (skeg?) re-welded if the LU is ok. Electric LU's are rare and expensive.

A worthy welding shop can fabricate some pieces of metal and weld them in there. Some propeller repair shops do that kind of work also.
