The 1981 25hp and 1983 35hp are not the same style gearcase.. What hp 1984 johnson lower unit are you looking for?

The 1981 25 hp will not fit. And for the 1983 35 hp I do not know..But just a quick look shows some internal part numbers and the driveshaft are not the same so probably not..

the 83 and 84 35 HP have the same crankshaft, so the splines on the driveshaft are the same. The 83 case has a 2 tooth clutch dog/gears, while the 84 and newer have 3 on the forward gear. An 83 case will bolt on to an 84

So the 83 35 Evinrude case WILL bolt on a 84 Johnson 30ELCRR lower unit? THANK YOU!
