Hello all. Getting close to that time again. Last fall I picked up a 17 ft. Tracker that has the 70 hp three cylinder Johnson/Tracker motor. Model #J70TLCE. From what I've read, this is the series of three cylinder motors that should have the water pump indicator outlet re-located from the side of the motor to the top of the water jacket?
I'm trying to figure out where to drill the hole for the new indicator? There already is a hole drilled and tapped on the top of my motor but it must be for something else because it is too small for the elbow that I received in the OMC kit. Any ideas what that hole is for?
The lift hook is in the way of drilling behind that hole and it seems that the flywheel and stator will need to come off to get the lifting hook off.
Am I looking at this correctly? Any advise / tips greatly appreciated.
I've read a number of threads here and other places and nobody ever mentioned removing the flywheel and I've never seen any pictures of a motor that looks like mine.
thanks in advance.
