I watched a few videos, said ok, got a good one found. Pump kit came in and I couldn’t find the video I thought I saved. Found yours and it is the best one I found! Pretty much crayons and coloring book, if a guy can’t replace his outboard water pump with your video and directions, he probably should not chew gum and walk! You did an awesome job, sir!
Great detail in your video!! Made the replacement of my friend's water pump much easier. Found the old pump wasn't working because the impeller key was missing. Shaft spins, impeller didn't. Quick rebuild (with your assistance) and it works great now. Thanks
Your Vids have been helpful for my E35ELCIG - 1981 Evinrude 35 hp. I am working on replacing the engine wiring harness as the motor stopped working after a themostat/ water pump replacement. The wiring is all green and cracking. Heck, the joined by orange wires "coils"..... the black single was green also and of course broken. TY
Just a tip; once you remove the keeper @4:50 you can screw the top nut back into the bottom part by a few threads, and then remove the rod without losing the nut. Can usually do it before un-bolting the lower unit too if you shift it to separate them.
am 68 years old run motors all my Life changed many water pumps - i just change the rubber impellor and leave everything else in place ! all that added glue is not at all necessary. but its a great video and my opinion only . lining the water tube is always my problem .
I used assembly lube its good for all rubbers etc and will eventually wash away. I guess some olive or sunflower oil will work as well. Just that i have a big bottle assembly lube is why i used it.
That is strange looking but cool I can see why the military would use it rocks and shallow water I bet it’s built like a tank durable and ready for hard use
13:17 I appreciate the video for sure but… there are several points(which I thought to be pretty important) wherein you completed the step off camera! Otherwise it was a big help thank you
ok so I have a 1976 25hp Johnson Seahorse boat motor, the water intake is different its just a single inlet just above the prop area, does that make a difference, I have to use a water hose if I do not have a barrel, Also Do I need to drain the grease from the lower unit first.
Hello Brandon! Really thanks for the video, i got same model and water haven't still got out, I bought the kit so I hope fix it soon. I have more parts to fix carburettor and propeller, I couldn't find the manual instructions, and in the video you spoke about it, can you tell me where I can find it? Thanks in advance!!
after following your steps the motor seems to be highly revved, and it is not the speed throtttle, and ideas what can be the issues please? also is it normal that the water pump is too tight that the blades bend when inserted?
Dear what is the purpose of the keeper underneath the linkage gearbox joint. I lost the nylon tapered keeper can I replace it with a small O ring please so the linkage nut will not slip off? Thanks in advance, very informative video
This video makes me want to dust off the 1971 18hp Evenrude my father has in his junk pile. That old machine has caught a lot of fish in its day. It's last regular use was by me in the early 90's and it had the annoying problem of popping out of gear. It moved a 14 ft skiff along pretty well when it still ran properly.
Very helpful video. Instead of gasket sealing compound on the bolt threads, would anti-seize (typically used by me on spark plugs) also work? It looks like the bolts in the Evinrude kit already have anti seize on them.
Hey! What is this enclosed prop lower unit? What years were they made and where can I get one? I have been looking for something like this for years. There are several rocky river runs near me that I've wanted to explore but will only go by canoe or kayak.
Do you still have the long shaft conversion parts (I.e. driveshaft, water tube and housing)? My ‘83 Johnson 35hp is a short shaft and it’s on a Jon boat I think is designed for a long shaft. Thank you for your time. Great video. Learned a lot.
I want to thank you for this tutorial. I replaced my water pump today, with the help of this video. Is it possible to up the horse power on my 1993 Evinrude 25hp 2 stroke with a simple carb change?
That through bolt (the one with a nut) is stuck like crazy on my johnson 30hp 1987. Tried WD40 and waiting for hours, wiggling, janking, heated it with a torch and bashed it and tried hammering in wooden shims. It just won't come of that end. Any advice on what else I can do? the other 4 bolts are off and I've separated the shift linkage.
@@brianmeyers7755 I had the same problem. I wind up taking a fine tool and just cutting it out and beating it off. And just replacing it with a stud and locking it down with a nut.
Hi Brandon, great video. I followed your your tutorial, and all went well. I did one extra step and removed the two flathead screws to change the oil when I am finished. I also took out a Philips screw next to the bottom flat head to help drain oil. When I reinstalled, I had issues putting the Philips back in and now can't seem to put in in or out of gear? It doesn't matter what I do the unit stays in neutral? What do you think I done wrong?
I've been leery of buying OMC rubber gaskets and o-rings since they've been sitting on shelves for years at this point. I've had one "new" o-ring out the box broke even with careful handling. Anyone else experience this?
If you're buying it on eBay, and/or in comes in one of the tan 'OMC' boxes, I would avoid it. Otherwise, BRP is still manufacturing parts. Fear not about buying most OEM stuff.
the piece you slid over drive shaft on to on top of water pump housing, is that required? I did not have that on my 71 Johnson long shaft? also no gaskets.
@@jamescecil3798 No I didn't. But I ended up shifting the lower shift rod into the reverse position by hand and then connecting the shifting rod together and it worked much better. You may have to turn the prop by hand while trying to get the lower shift rod into the reverse position. Not perfect yet, but workable. I also noticed the shifter in the motor housing was rubbing against the fuel line that wasn't helping the problem either.
@@dancarnahan4946 I just talked to my mechanic, he told me to turn the lower unit shift rod down or all the way tight. I'll give it a try after work today.
Could you do a video on changing the plug wires on a 6hp Johnson? I found some videos of yours with my exact motor, and me and my have been trying to get the flywheel off with no luck.
@@BrandonsGarage correct! Could you send me the link to this kit? Or is it the same as this one Evinrude/Johnson/OMC OEM Water Pump Impeller & Housing Kit 393630; 0393630 a.co/d/6kRYHcx
