I am working on 77 Johnson, needs a new water pump. The problem is I can't find where the shift linkage comes apart to remove the lower unit. Any ideas would be helpful. It is not my motor so I don't really want to get a manual for it.
I just did this on my '57 Johnson 10. It is probably not the same, but on mine there was an access plate on the side of the lower unit to disconnect the shift linkage. It was an oval plate with 2 screws.
Craig, Looks like a pin under the carb on the left (port,haha) side of the powerhead pulls out of the linkage and the long rod comes out with the lower unit, Good Luck
