I just changed the one in my 1986 100hp Commercial and screwed it up big
time. Johnson just made it too easy, simply pull a hitch pin and push the
shifter linkage in to disengage the linkage from the lower units shifter
rod. If you do it my way you'll break the plastic bushing/keeper which is
avalible but a pain to replace. Like my dad the mulewright says anyone can
own a hammer the key is knowing where to knock or no.

The carbs go back on tomorrow and I'll finally see if this thing will run

Hi all.
I need help in changing the water pump in the lower unit. When I try to
separate the lower unit, the shift rod hangs up.
All help appreciated.
