I need to replace the lower unit on my 1973 Johnson, 65 hp, a friend of mine has a 50 hp Johnson, the lower units look identical. I am wondering if the lower units will inter-change?
I have 65 Johnson Model # 65ESL-73R I am trying to change the water pump. I can not get the lower unit off. I have taken out 5 large bolts, 2 on each side and 1 larger bolt in the middle. Is there something else I have to do? Please help.
