is there something to follow

[buddyboy55]

I finally got a used lower unit for my 1972 65h evinrude it took over a year to find. But the bottom fin and front of the side fins are broke off . Is ther a diagram to see if I can take the insides of the new used one and transfer them to the old broke one that looks brand new or am I worried about nothing . its been 2 years since I ve been on the water thanks for any help

You can look up diagrams on marine engine .com
If they are the same unit then yes you can.
Id do that myself, you can also check the gears when its apart in case its had a hard knock and one or two need replacing

Not sure why it would take a year to find.-----------You can swap the entire contents to the good looking gearcase.--No shimming required at all.--------Might want to install a seal kit.------Test operation of the unit before taking it apart.-----It can be tested on the work bench.

thankyou for reply I live in mt and the unit finally was found in ill. I am a carpenter not a mach, but do you think this is something I should be able to do someone that has all the tools but not know how could do this. I was thinking the diagram would maybe show me the steps, am I crazy, there is really no reliable boat people here in this town

Re: is there something to follow

every bolt that is seeable including the allen bolt in the side is out the top 8 bolts the 4 bolts behind inside the prop area are all out and the verticle shaft and the prop shaft is not budging are they stuck because of shattered gears and I need to just hit on it?

Re: is there something to follow

There is a nut on the bottom of the vertical shaft.-----It will not come out untill you get inside the unit and take that off.----------Put your hammer far away as you will only do big $$$$ damage.

Re: is there something to follow

I know this shows my lack of knowledge but I have to ask, I guess I cant see any way in side is that nut seeable on the out side or am I not seeing a way to get down behind the verticle shaft

Re: is there something to follow

Sorry , but it is time for you to find a manual.

 

[buddyboy55]

Re: is there something to follow

Hi try this, its all i use and they have all ive ever needed from a manual
Boatinfo - The library, containing manuals, brochures and other technical documents from the last hundred years!

It would be easier if you could post some pics.
You can do what Bosunsmate said for a manual,or you can go to Original outboard product and service manuals for Johnson, Evinrude, Gale, and OMC for the specific manual for your model #.
Costs around $50.00.

Re: is there something to follow

thankyou this is very helpful I am stuck in a rock and ahard place the book says I need pullers but old timers say I dont I am stopped I guess because I dont have these kind of tools, I cant get either shaft out I see no clips or secret pins to release them

Re: is there something to follow

The vertical shaft has a nut on the bottom.-----You need to pull the propshaft bearing housing out first. ---Then you can work your way in to get at that nut !

 

[buddyboy55]

Re: is there something to follow

in your opinion is the only way to remove the pro shaft with a pulley? thanks for your time again

 

[racerone]

Re: is there something to follow

No you have to remove the bearing housing it may have 5/16-NC threads in it that can be used to pull the bearing housing out.----The propshaft is not the first item that comes out !!!

Re: is there something to follow

is there a way to attach a pic onto the form or does that have to be done seperatly its my belief that the pics in the manual are not the same as I have in my hand because I could not find the exact model number mine had a S behind the numbers. I took the 4 screws out inside the housing there are no more screws to remove the housing. maybe mine is different and that is causing the frustration. Im sorry for taking so much of your time. I have all the manuals from both site with the pictures and they do not look like my housing
