How do I work on an old 62 Johnson, out of a body of water? I know that
for my evinrude I've used a huge garbage can, but I was wondering if
there was something like you can use on newer lower units (of IO's, for
example).

It looks like the water intake is above the prop, and I don't think the
same thing would work for both. Is there something easy to use?

I can make this make more sense if needed.



My Johnson dates back to the 1940s, and it still works out of water.

Seriously, you need a pair of muffs. That'll keep the engine cool enough
at low RPMs. If you are contemplating running it up to full RPMs, you'll
need a tank of some sort.


mostly at idle.
