Perfect how to video, simply explained and straight to the point. Cheers. 1967 Johnson 20 outboard here.

[@walterwithers7066]

Thanks, this helped a ton, I'm new to outboard motor repair. My 68 6hp johnson also had a pin at the top of the shaft which I punched out and put back after installing the new parts.

[@5toesonthenose]

Really good straight forward intructions with the right tips for an wasy fix ... thanks mate!

[@edwardhill6945]

When you put the impeller in the cup, you turned it clockwise, BUT, you turned it clockwise with the cup UPSIDE DOWN, This means, that when flipping the cup right side up to install, the impeller is the wrong way! When doing stuff like this, you have to think about proper orientation of the part when it’s installed. Luckily, in many cases, once the motor starts, the vanes will flip the right way, but if you’re going to make a hiw to video for DIYers, do it right.

[@Adam-ox6zy]

Yup I noticed that. The other video I watched of someone replacing the impeller on a similar Johnson outboard he turned the impeller anticlockwise to install. That’s what I’ll be doing on mine. Otherwise a great straight forward video.

[@Adam-ox6zy]

A nice straight forward video but I reckon the impeller should be installed anticlockwise from other videos of similar outboard I’ve seen. And the dude was following instructions that he had.

[@artengland8010]

69 also didn’t have a plastic impeller housing. Used this as a reference on my 1974 and ran into a few snags.

[@fleetwin1]

These engines were originally equipped with an aluminum impeller housing....Those parts are available individually, but the "water pump kit" is the newer style with the plastic housing and SS liner. It is important to note that none of these parts are interchangeable. But, the newer style water pump kit will fit on engines back to the 50s.

[@Justin-tp3lr]

I have a 1972 evinrude fisherman 6hp , it had the one big impeller orginally and the replacement one I received will not pump any water. I put a drill on the shaft and submerged the lower unit until the intake was completely covered. the impeller is going in the right direction and its put together just like this one. I think I will just order the impeller that was in it and put it back together.

[@fleetwin1]

Do the two impellers look the same? Be sure they didn't send you the impeller for the newer style kits which will not fit, the difference is very obvious. Or, perhaps it is the other way around, maybe someone installed the newer style kit previously, and you have ordered the original impeller which wont fit.

[@Justin-tp3lr]

@@fleetwin1 My dad bought the motor new in 72'. the kit looks identical to the one in the video and works perfectly. When you order the kit it comes with the newer housing. The other big impeller will work just fine as long as you reuse the older metal grey housing. I've been running it for the last 2 months with zero problems.

[@fleetwin1]

@@Justin-tp3lr Yes, everything works fine as long as you use the complete kit, you could always try to find the original pieces also. Would be pretty hard to mismatch those impellers, but never say never....So, why wasn't your engine pumping after your installed the kit?

[@Justin-tp3lr]

@@fleetwin1 it didn't with the bucket test but it works fine when I put it back in the motor.

Very well done, someone gave me a very maniac clean 1980 4.5 evinrude, i d like to redo it and the carb kit too. Very well explain and and good cinematographic, thanks

[@florisvanvliet3542]

I have one of those engines ass well, but I can't get the lower unit out for some reason or another, did you manage to do it?

AWSOME 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@cpk3659]

I would just like to say that if you go through with a water pump rebuild or impeller replacement and it's still not pissing, then try putting it in a bucket or trashcan because water ears often don't work

[@thetruebrit85]

Bloody hell! Is that impeller in the right way....😳....I was going to follow this video step by step....Will it end badly for my Johnson 6hp....I mean generally your videos are top notch. Others commenting this one is in the wrong way....HELP.....🙄😳🙄😳🙄😳

[@thetruebrit85]

Excellent video thanks for sharing. Big help this is.

[@richardd3663]

Haven't you put the impeller into the cup incorrectly? My understanding is that it rotates clockwise when looking down onto it and the vanes are dragged round. By winding it into the cup in a clockwise manner when you turn the cup over and slide it down the drive shaft into position the vanes are curved the wrong way.

[@jasonglabbe]

I had the same question, the one he pulled out was counterclockwise and he installed the new on clockwise. in my manual it says to rotate the driveshaft clockwise so it seems it should go in counterclockwise

[@richardd3663]

[@fleetwin1]

I notice the same thing Richard, he has the impeller in backwards....

Yes, it is backwards. There is another video out there that its done incorrectly as well.

The cowl graphics look like 1970's vintage, not 1960's. Also 10mm bolts on a late 1960's/early1970's Johnson motor? I thought that they were made in USA. I would have expected 1/4" bolts taking a 7/16" wrench. 10mm is news to me

[@ardyrides834]

On my 1965 Johnson 6hp, those bolts are 7/16, and my engine cowling graphics are different.

[@rrrttt1112]

this motor has a tell-tale too, the 1969 did not. My 1969 6hp is dark green with very plain cowling graphics, and a 2 blade prop.

Good video .. but I think you forgot one crucial step .. putting the impeller shaft roller pin back in before reinstalling into the power head.

[@alredhornbeam6598]

Why is the impeller so small compared to the one he removed ? I need to do this have ordered the kit and mine is way smaller too .

[@thecrooner4jc]

@@alredhornbeam6598 .. it will work because the smaller one comes with a little tin cup that fits inside the impeller housing of the kit. You must use the new impeller housing though. The smaller impeller with the little cup will not be compatible with the old impeller housing.

[@thecrooner4jc]

.. even though the impeller is smaller, there is still plenty of water being pumped up to cool the motor too.

[@fleetwin1]

Sure wish frozen SS screws came out that easily for me! Be careful using those never seize products, you must use the proper formula that won't react with the aluminum..... Probably would have been a good idea to change the gear lube while the gearcase was off also, just in case there were leaks. This job is not as easy as it is portrayed here, and the missing driveshaft roll pin will render the lower crankshaft seal useless.... Probably would have been a good idea to pull that powerhead off to inspect/replace the seal components and replace/repair the shift handle.

[@cajuncookone]

You hit the nail on the head buddy. I was thinking almost exactly what you stated.

[@jimmysapien9961]

That’s in Another video 👍🏻

[@fleetwin1]

@@jimmysapien9961 Which one?

[@edwardhill6945]

Almost none of the videos for this procedure even mention that roll pin, or that, as you mentioned secures the lower crankshaft seal, (which is comprised of about 6 parts). I believe because no one mentions it, or shows the slot it goes into up inside the housing, it gets left out. In fact, if it is in place,my ou cannot slide the pump housing, or the old impeller up off the drive shaft. The only good video I’ve seen that actually explains that roll pin can be found by Googling -Johnson Evinrude 6 HP Lower Removal and Seal Explanation This link might work kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpbOoa2wj7iqfNk

[@charleslanning7017]

Thanks for that. I think it's maybe a 1979, not 1969, but the differences should be covered when you look up your model/year for parts. The water pump is a different design than the original I noticed, and this unit doesn't seem to have the spring pin near the top of the drive shaft. Question: I had some difficulty with the shift adjustment after reassembly. I think I pulled the shift shaft connection and now can't engage forward. I think I need to slide the brass connector back up the shaft a little. Have you dealt with this (shift adjustment)?

[@mikes06roadking]

[@robertsawa3407]

1969 Johnson 6 hp did not use metric bolts!

Yes, those are 1/4-20 bolts with a 3/8 head, perhaps 10mm is a match....

Great video. My motor is J6RCDE... think that means it is a 1986. Do the same procedures apply?

[@asteen75]

When i look at assembly instructions from the marine engine website, the gasket is located under the drive shaft housing. Order of assembly is: gasker, drive shaft housing, plate, impeller, cup, plastic housing. Or am i missing something. Maybe the drawing is incorrect on the marine engine website?

[@paulgriffiths563]

Why did you put a different pump housing on ? The one u took off is not the one u put back .Did I miss something?

[@-Viceroy-]

Why does the parts change in the middle of the video? Also you forgot the driveshaft roll pin, also the gear shift shaft bolt needs to be removed all the way, not just loosening it.

[@fleetwin1]

Mr. Viceroy makes and excellent point. That missing roll pin is a most important part indeed. That roll pin holds the lower crankcase seal components up and in place next the powerhead....The lower crank seal won't work without the roll pin....Water intrusion into the crankcase is likely without the lower seal, which will lead to a slow but steady powerhead death. This is a common mistake that has terrible consequences.

[@-Viceroy-]

@@fleetwin1 This video is filled with misinformation and mistakes. Wrong bolt head sizes etc... I would not trust my outboard on that mechanics hands.

[@donk499]

@@-Viceroy- Unfortunately, the "interweb" seems to breed so many "experts" on everything. I'm sure this fellow is well intentioned, but not very well educated.

Hello, I’m writing about my Johnson 2t 6hp engine. The reversing starts and works very well but the forward step isn’t! You have to stay on the inverter lever otherwise you must not turn the propeller even though it is in the forward position!

[@NeilLovegrovemaker]

It's wierd that there's no gasket between the new plate and the existing plate on the gearbox. Does this metal to metal connection make a water tight seal? I'm currently doing the same job bit am thinking about running a small bead of liquid gasket around to get a good seal. Would that be advisable?

[@hucknbarry3496]

I was thinking the same thing but I can't find a gasket for it anywere so I assume it doesn't have to be 100% water tight

I have a 1993 Johnson 9HP. It was used sparingly for about 10 years. Then it was stored in a dry place for 17 years. I would like to bring it back to life. It looks to be in amazing good shape. On what do I need to concentrate to get this running?

I would start with spark plugs, cleaning the cylinder heads, and then move onto rebuilding the carb. If it's that old then a impeller replacement or water pump rebuild should be considered

I hate to tell you this, but when you turn the impeller housing over to install it, those impeller blades are going to be bent the wrong way.
