Pump runs ... are the hydraulic seals cheap aftermarket aka ebay or Amazon or OEM? I mean no disparagment towards you in this question.... but I have 1st hand knowledge that a lot of the aftermarket non sierra or OEM stuff isn't worth the plastic bag it came in. Not talking bout the o rings...
I rebuilt mine... but just the seals and o rings and a check valve or two.... really liked the metal ones better than the plastic ones.
If the sleeve isn't damaged why replace.... I may be missing something in the picture as I on my phone and my spare reading glasses as I can't find my good...
This may be a dumb answer...I could be wrong as all get out. But I wanna say my Johnny 15 had the model number on the "freeze plugs" in the block. Please feel free to tell me I'm wrong or mistaken or must have hit my head harder than I thought yesterday. It maybe have been model specific or...
I'll field one question... and here I'm only mostly sure... generally between lower unit and exhaust housing there is no gasket on the outboards I have worked on...
BUT
I have never worked on a 2hp or anything smaller than 7.5hp Johnnyrude so the tiny ones may or may not be different.

Well I'm hoping Racerone shows up .... I often don't like what he tells me when I ask questions (cause he has the habit of giving a good experienced answer which incidently means no shortcuts for me) but he flat out knows his stuff. There are a couple others of similar knowledge who may choose...
I can't confirm or deny them numbers...
I has book for the next series after yours.
I can however say quick internet search showed availability of the 2nd part numbers you posted.
But while I could find stuff about the 1st part number I did not find the part available.
I know in desperation in...
I'm guessing ring free is like doing the seafoam treatment on a fully warmed up 2 smoker....as a decarb treatment.
If so this would be a good idea as I have had it make a world of difference on engines that had Carboned up rings and low or uneven compression.
Remember try everyone else's...
Congratulations on getting the screw out!!!
you buy the rebuild kit?
p/n # 0434519 I believe is the oem number for your O-ring and seal kit...$90ish but all there...and that is a good thing if you in deep enough to have it partially apart go the full nine yards and have peace of mind when you...
I would suggest that you can't blame a manufacturer for failures or difficulties related to a lack of maintenance or wrong tool for the job.
You may get extra traction on the removal of the screw by fabricating or modifying or finding a heavy bodied steel rod that is long enough to easily reach...
for the hydraulic release screw.
Get a good fitting 1/4" drive driver bit that fits 100% tightly in the slot...shape it with a grinder or with a file if you must. It must be an incredibly tight even fit to allow high torque to not strip it...and a 1/4" 6 point box end wrench.
Put bit in...
Yes sir!!
... I ordered actual FSM, it is 1 week out and I will retire the not so great multi-year make and model johnson manual I been using.
In the meantime are
"RED RHINO" bearings ok to use for lower unit? I can get every single lower unit bearing for about $130 shipped. Or is this another...
I Believe if memory serves me right... power head removal requires lower unit removed so you can access bolts from withint...and possibly shifter...
I have one I'll look at when I get back to the house.
I know you can look at the various diagrams from the likes of boatsDOTnet and see what and...
