I recently bought a johnson hydro electric drive with model # 85ESL69E <br /> serial no j3033842 <br /><br />it runs hot so im thinking on putting in new lower unit seal kit but dont know if the motor is worth it seems to run fine besides the overheating issue? is it relitively easy to change out seals and impeller or better off getting another motor?

That is a 1969 85 hp Johnson. You can change the impeller without messing with the lower unit seals, restoring your cooling.
