Hello we've recently started a boad restoration it's powered by a 1974 jhonson 85hp v4 model 85esl74b.
It was ran multiple days a week a a fishing boat buy older adult 8 years ago but has been sitting for 8 years. I've ran compression and looks good taken down carbs they are in excellent condition over all the engine has been a hidden gem. I dropped the lower to replace impeller before we even tried to run for fear of burning motor up from lack of water flow.
And sure enough impeller was in need of replacing so I figured I'd replace the waterpump while I had it out and it being sitting for so long. But its been hard to find the correct waterpump part number to order we don't have a local johnson outboard dealer so im hoping to get some pearls from knowledgeable people here. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
