Re: Johnson service manual
When looking at a part's manual, it is broken down in groups, gearcase, powerhead, etc. If I were to look in the gearcase group, it will show the gearcase, and all of it's components. The parts are laid out in line as the would go together, and numbered. Let's say the drive shaft is listed as number 1 on the schematic. You would go to the right page, and of cource, number 1 on the parts list would be the drive shaft. Here would be listed the part number for that shaft. Depending on the motor, there could be two part numbers for that shaft, one for long shaft, one for short. At a dealership they would then go to a master price book with this part number looking for any number change, and the price.<br /> If you were to have the correct part's book for your engine! there's a seperate part's book, just as there is a seperate service manual for each model engine, you could write these numbers down at home, and then just present them to the dealer.Whats nice about doing this is you can go over the part's book, and your numbers list at home with out the risk of forgetting something when you get to the dealer. He can then also give you a price so you know where your at with the repair. Hope this helps.
