Your simple method of turning the flywheel to engage the top driveshaft spline with the motor just saved me so much hassle. Thanks !

[@ddhh6552]

Ahahahaa. "It just arrived.....a year ago". It sounds like a project of mine lol

[@JCinematic]

I just carried out this water pump repair out on my 4hp and it was my first time doing it and yes I made that mistake of not aligning the copper water tube. Back off it goes and this time I used the flashlight method to make sure it was in.

[@fliegenbet]

Very useful and informative Video, as always. Thank you very much

[@skiphinson8620]

Great video! I hope mine comes apart easily. I’m gonna give it a go...

[@561arcadia]

Thank you so much.... I just bought one..1987 (e6rcud)

[@grjoeb6189]

Another great video. Thanks

[@edwardhill6945]

Grease on top of the driveshaft won’t break anything, but I since the grease is not compressible, it might prevent the shaft from being pushed all the way up. It fills the space in the crankshaft where the driveshaft has to go. It’s the same idea as doing a brake job on your car, where they say to lube the caliber pins but DO NOT put grease on the end of the pin, where is slides into its passage way.

[@davekimbler2308]

As water pumps go your right how easy it is ! I would never have thought of using gasket sealer on bolts ?! Duck hunters up here love the 6hp OMC outboards , I can’t get enough of them but the don’t like the 5 1/2hp where I have quite a few of those ! Go figure ! AOMCI super meet at Tomahawk, Wisconsin on the 4 - 7th August BE THERE OR BE SQUARE ! Lol. I just like watching your videos even though I’ve done it 1,000 times ! Lol

[@robertp8990]

Great services

[@Adude368]

Thanks I'm fixing a 1988 johnson 4 hp and needed to do this

[@gs637]

Good stuff

[@benjover5663]

Your voice reminds me of Will Forte. thats a compliment

[@Bobbybbops]

Brandon…where did you get that shaft key for the impeller? My shaft is flat like the video but johnson parts catalog shows a pin. Im not sure if a pin would work. Needs to be like your pin which fits in the flat spot on the shaft as well. Is that plastic? Ive got a 4hp seahorse.

[@wearegame777]

Is the Permatex Aviation Form-a-gasket a good substitute for the OMC stuff?

[@briancloutier2781]

Thanks again it helped me get this done! I do have a concern though. When I used the original key there was a good 1/4 inch of free play. I used the one that I got from ebay and it fit good no free play. The concern is the key that came with it seemed like a hard plastic. I will see if it lasts. Should there be free play when the impeller is on the shaft?

[@jshall1000]

I've seen in some videos that there's a shift linkage pin that has to be removed. Is there a way to tell on which motors have them. I have 94 8 hp Evinrude

[@DougsMessyGarage]

Hey Brandon, is the OEM gasket compound no longer available? I tried to get some last summer, and I looked at your link just now, and all that shows is alternatives to the OEM compound you use in your videos. I ended up getting the aviation gasket stuff and it looks the same as the OEM compound but I am unable to find the actual OEM stuff.

[@donaldmatthies6026]

Nice video as always. Would you mind doing a video of you lower unit vise/clamp/support stand? Thank you for taking time to film and edit this video.

[@briancloutier2781]

Thanks nice video! Do you leave gear shift in Neutral?

[@briancloutier2781]

Did you have any issue getting the old cup out?

[@Erik-Vadee-Veechee]

Do you need to engage the drive shift into forward position before you take it apart? I watched another video where he said to put it in drive first for some reason. I have an 88 8hp Evinrude so its almost exactly like your motor. Thank you

[@franciscampos337]

Mine is a 1996 Johnson 8hp. Is there something that holds the shift rod or drive shaft on the engine side? I can't seem to get mine out. Thank you

[@kensiegert334]

I have a 1998 5 hp Johnson. I can’t get the lower unit off as it seems to be attached to the FNR lever. Any suggestions?

[@Keysengine17]

Hi Brandon, I recently purchased a 7.5 1983 Evinrude outboard in the shift shaft came all the way out so the orientation is off. Can you explain to me how I can get the orientation right?

[@privateer0561]

Great video, thank you. One thing: that pin you put between the driveshaft and the prop is not a drive pin - it's a shear pin. Just saying.

[@massimilianogiannone8417]

Hi, I bought the exact same engine and I am very happy with it. Since I have to replace the propeller, could you give me the right measurements: pitch and diameter? Thank you very much

[@christophercharles3169]

Newbie here. As it wasn't really explained, was it really necessary to take the propeller off?

[@jamesread11]

Nice vid love your content, how’s the house going?

[@meco72104]

I have a 6hp Johnson water pump works good, I just don't know how long it been in there. I may go ahead and replace it.

[@tcsail09]

Why don't you just use anti-seize compound vs gasket sealer or just preference? Good vid.

[@chuckborden8532]

Thx so much nice pee stream Question aren't those water pump bolts supposed to be torqued??

[@Ian-qf5ny]

Well it looks like mine is just stuck and theres not a bolt or shift shaft disconnect i was missing...

[@alexvallee5315]

Hopefully this reaches you. The leg on my 4hp deluxe is not coming off easily what should I be looking for?

[@BrandonsGarage]

got all the bolts out of the lower?

[@phillipbell4532]

I am Working on the same motor except mine is a 1982 7.5 Johnson , but it looks the exact same,,, PROBLEM ,,,, the Drive Shaft going into the Bottom of the Power Head is stuck in,, The bottom leg came off with just the Gear change Rod ONLY ,, The main Drive Shaft that goes through the Water Pump is still in the Motor ,,,,,,What now ,,Please help ,,cheers Phil

[@MrBagyolatamas]

[@xersis31]

The center gear shaft of mine did not come out of the top end is that bad and it's still not pissing

[@MrBagyolatamas]

same here, and I cant place the small plastic pice in like that

[@jikepisode8190]

Have a Johnson 6.5 and it does run while the primer is on. When turned off it shutdown. What can be the problem?

[@germanborgesxrt]

carburator

[@adammosher1115]

Can you tell me were I can find a water pump for a 50s one I having no luck finding one

[@BrandonsGarage]

[@jimmythompson9394]

You never mentioned how you insure you shift rod is in the right place. Forward? Reverse?

[@561arcadia]

I changed my water pump ... now it wont start....any help

[@alexbarboza1985]

Hola necesito un kit de esos para reparar un motor igual me pueden ayudar a conseguirlo

[@boomerrogers]

Never explained wich way vains on pump go . It matters

[@samtate1260]

Yeah I bought that little can of sealant from a marina 1309 plus tax when I was asking the guy for it he says we never use that stuff I find that hard to believe since seen motors they worked on and it certainly had it fresh too

[@BrandonsGarage]

yeah, they probably do. or a variety of it... maybe we never use that size, we buy the gallon. Don't know. But if they arent using it or something similar, you need a new shop.

[@-Viceroy-]

I have been using Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket No. 3 Sealant Liquid. Because that is the only similar compound easily available in my country. So far seem to work just fine.

[@SalmongodBrian]

I can't seem to find where to get this kit, can I get a link

[@SalmongodBrian]

I finally found it
