    Shifter Arm Mod

    1967 RDSL 29 The linkage for my shift arm was in such a bind, I ground the arm down so that I could push the spring loaded pin in from the other side. Was this just bad engineering or did the previous owner do some kind of frankenboat mod? If the arm didn't have the dog leg in it everything...

    Cooling Question

    1967 40 HP RDSL 29E The manual says, "At low speeds the impeller works as a displacement pump. At higher speeds water resistance keeps the blades from flexing and the pump acts as a circulator, enough water being provided by the forward motion of the motor through the water". So if I'm...

    Normal Points Wear

    Do points normally wear in the center or is it random? I put a red oval where I found some pitting. (Pic isn't too good so I high lighted it with the oval). Phoodieman

    I do not know what I am doing.

    And I have the proof. You can see a distorted view of my idiotic head in one of the left over blades. That prop is not even a month old. I just ordered three more. http://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww78/phoodieman/Sea%20Horse/ShearedProp.jpg Phoodieman

    Replacing Points

    1967 Super Sea Horse 40 HP RDSL-29 My skeg and LGC rebuild went very well and now that I am confident the unit is viable I am ready to tune up. I read the TSF sticky on checking the points and this looks fairly straight forward. The service manual calls for a timing bracket (In the special...

    Shift Rod Orientation

    1967 40 HP Johnson RDSL-29 Super Sea Horse The service manual shows the shifter rod on one side of the assembly and the parts manual shows it on the other. Is there a difference? I have all the new seals in place and I'm reassembled, without the drive shaft, but it seems like I have to put a...

    Removal Tool For Shift Rod Bushing

    1967 40 HP RDSL-29 Super Sea Horse. So what is this magical tool for getting the brass bushing out? Something that clears the small hole and then expands into the bushing to push it out? phoodieman

    Sea Horse Gear Case Seal Kit

    1967 RDSL-29 40 HP Super Seahorse I received the kit for gasket replacement. The outer O ring gasket at the prop shaft end matches. Do you have to unscrew the back part of the inner section to replace the inner seal? Some issues: 1. The seal at the water pump for the drive shaft doesn't...

    Want to eliminate any water in lower gear case

    1967 RDSL-29 40 HP Johnson. I have water in the lower gear case. I have the lower unit off so I want to change every seal as this older motor has probably not been serviced in 20 years. I recognize most of the seals but not all. As I see it, these are the places water can get in that I know...

    What are these pins from?

    I found these in the lower gear unit. They are not from there and I don't know if they were left over from a previous over haul or have fallen from up above. I've counted about 14 of them. Model 1967 RDSL 29 Super Sea Horse

    1967 Johnson RDSL 29 Lower Gear Case

    I am trying to get the lower gear case off of this 40 HP Super Sea Horse motor. I have the service manual and I'm close. I can't find where the shifter disconnects. There is a diagram referred to, but I can't find where to actually disconnect it. The extension and gear case have cleared...
