I came across a 1970 Johnson 9.5. It has not been used for 5 years, only 3 times a year prior to that and has been garaged. It is used in fresh water. I know quite a bit about car engines but have never torn into an outboard. I plan to get a service manual, but want to know if I am in over my head to tear into this outboard?
What standard items should I plan to replace, such as seals and bearings? Are parts still available for most repairs?
Tell me what to look for and what to look out for.
Thanks
