    Gear case

    Quick question after watching a video. Is there suppose to be a spring in this spot. Because there wasn't, and on a video I just watched a guy had a spring in there could be a cause of a diff motor size, but just another question. Thanks guys for all your help.

    Gear case

    I think I'm gonna have to clean up the gears and pinion and repost pics because I'm having difficulty see what all you guys are seeing as gouging. Where would I find the bearings? All of this has happened within about an hr of running the boat. I had changed the lower unit oil and it was clean...

    Gear case

    I didn't know about the quick shift as I'm a new boater. Thank you. Also can you help me with where the damage is on the gears when I inspected they looked fine and I don't see any gouges but this is all new to me. And which bearings are you talking about where would I find these so I can send...

    Gear case

    Yes. When I changed the oil it came out clean. But this time around (maybe an hr of water time) it drained out black.

    Gear case

    Good day I was having problems with a big bang and couldn’t figure it out. So I changed the oil in the lower unit and had ALOT of shavings and a lot stuck to the screws. So I took the gear case apart and found that the clutch dog looks to have been the possible problem I just don’t see damage to...

    Okay. Can I just swap the shift shafts ? And what do I have to do with the drive shaft ? Can I just swap those ?

    It may be the pictures but I honestly believe they had the same curve and everything seemed the same as well.

    Swapping lower units on 1997 115 hp Johnson with 1989 90hp Johnson

    To be honest I have very little knowledge about boats. But I did not switch the shift rod as it looked the exact same. Also I measured it to what the other rod came out as. I got it in no problem so I thought it would be fine. :/

    Swapping lower units on 1997 115 hp Johnson with 1989 90hp Johnson

    Thank you will check those for the bulb collapsing. As for the lower unit I just removed it from my 89 Johnson and then removed from the 97 Johnson and put it in and it worked. Just the problem of no full power. Which I’m unsure if it was due to the lower unit or the bulb problem.
