I have a 1972 6HP Johnson Seahorse for a kicker motor.
I started it in a bucket today and saw nothing at the pee-hole (even though I was overjoyed it started on about the 4th pull after being stored all winter).
Anyway, this particular motor has the extension on it to make it a long shaft.
Here is stupid question #1: Is the impeller at the top of the extension or beneath?
Also, I already replaced the lower unit oil (did so in the garage before running the motor). I used Pennzoil 80-90W marine even though I used Lubrimatic type C the last time.
Here is stupid question #2: Is the Pennzoil the right stuff?
Here is stupid question #3: Did I waste the lower unit oil because I will lose it when I replace the impeller?
Here is stupid question #4: I ordered part number 18-3202. It is the impeller and plate. Are there any other gaskets required for this repair?
I have searched and not found answers to these question so please don't think I want to be spoonfed.
