2000 Johnson 2cyl 50 missing bolt help!

[danimal045]

I bought a used johnson 50hp off of some clients, and right now I’m in the wiring phase of. Y duck boat build, and am close to firing it up. When making the remote connections on the engine unnoticed it’s missing a bolt.

I was using the schematic for a 2000 johnson J50PLSIF, as i can’t find anything for my specific model, Johnson 2000 50HP Long Shaft, Model J50VLSIG S/N: G04880135. I used this schematic and was emailing with Crowley and we thought it was bolt 40 part 0322323, but it isn’t, that bolts a good bit too long.

Well----I do not believe anything is missing at all !!!!.------That might be a provision for a temperature gauge sending unit.----I would say the CROWLEY folks would know that.

I was thinking the same thing.
I’m sure that head is used on many different models.

Ahhhh thank you so much! That makes sense because there are threads, and a pocket, but it doesn’t look like anything bolts together

What is that kit for? It came with the warning gauge and wiring with. Bullet connectors for 2 other gauges, i believe a tachometer and trim

That's the temperature gauge kit accessory package for your engine. Your motor comes with the audio alarm.

For the record, I believe it is for a temp sender. I have something similar on my '98 Johnny.

As an easy doublecheck, sender will have NPT tapered threads, and a bolt will have straight threads.

Post #2 is correct !!
