Re: johnson outboard gaskets

What gaskets do you want to replace? Is there a problem?

do i need to take apart the upper unit to release the lower unit?

Re: johnson outboard gaskets

You need to drop the lower unit if you're pulling the powerhead. You don't need to do it to get them apart, but you will need the unit off when reassembling the motor. The powerhead goes back on first so afterwards you can align the water tube into the lower unit.<br />The lower unit should just unbolt and drop off....<br />- Scott

I tried to take off the lower unit. I took off all the bolts connecting the lower unit to the upper unit. Is there any bolts connecting the units from the inside? It seems like it. Where do I start?

you should get a manual...it'll guide you right thru and have some good diagrams to go by
