I have a 1993 90hp Johnson, Model J90TLETS. I am putting the lower unit back together and need to know which way the ring that the prop shaft carrier bolts to goes in. Should the side with the part number stamped into it face the prop, or should the numbers face forward. I think the nubered side has counter sinks on the bolt holes. Also does this ring go in before the snap rings are installed. Manual is not real clear on this.

The retainer plate goes in before the snap rings. I think the the holes with the counter sink face towards the prop. I don't think it really makes any difference, but the counter sinks makes it easier to start the screws.

Re: Lower unit rebuild

Thank you for the help. It makes sense that the counter sink would face the prop. It will make it easier to start the bolts. Now all I have to do is get the snap rings back in-whoo!
