Hi folks,

As the title implies, I've purchased a 1970 - 60HP Johnson and I'm looking for tips on proper reassembly of the lower unit. It's been apart twice now as I'm trying to figure out why the water pump is not doing it's job.

I think the problem is when I try to line up the tubes, they just don't seal properly. I noticed the previous owner tried to create a seal with silicone so I had to remove it. Any tips on reassembly and getting these tubes to seal would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Sandman36

I have used the black gasket sealer successfully before. you really need a OEM manual
