Hi,
I have a 1972/65hp Johnson motor with hydro-electric shifting. Recently gearcase broke and I got replacement for it, but not from exactely the same motor, I don't know from which one. Everything fits perfectly, appart of prop thrust washer. All part books show that prop shaft is the same on all motors of these years, but this one is different. And the fact that gearcase is hydro-electric limits number of options to only early seventies. The old prop shaft has different profile at the point where thrust washer is fitting, it is conincal and thrust washer matches that, while the new prop shaft has a straight step profile.
I took photos of both, because it is hard to explain difference. The red gearcase is the broken one, the blue is the new. Propeler also fits, no problems, I just can't find thrust washer for it.
Can I use some ordinary washers with proper size instead?
Thank you
