    Johnson 55hp 1979 snapped bolt after following manual. Why?

    Do you happen to know what length these are? Getting hold of these OEM is tough in Sweden but Ive sources imperial marine grade bolts locally that have a A4 Stainless Steel rating which I think would suffice?

    Thanks!! The manual officially knows best and I officially need to go learn how to measure bolts 🤦‍♂️

    Im thinking maybe I mismeasured the bolts... These imperial measurements confuse the heck out of me!

    Johnson 55hp 1979 snapped bolt after following manual. Why?

    Anyone know if this was a mistake on my part? I followed the manual religiously (against my judgement that these things felt too tight) and snap!

    Special part 311879 - next best thing?

    Nice. Will this fit older Johnson outboards? What have you tested it on?

    Special part 311879 - next best thing?

    Thanks. I used to do it that way but find eventually the nipple parts snap off. Ive ordered one which im hoping could be a fit, otherwise ita back to making a custom one again.

    Suddenly boat stopped going into gear. Help!

    I had no idea that putting the boat in and out of gear with engine off would do this kind of damage. I have to admit i've done that a lot because I had a recent carb issue and was testing the hell out of it. I guess lesson learned and I should only do that with muffs on and engine running when...

    Special part 311879 - next best thing?

    The hardest part I find about removing my lower unit gearcase on my Johnson 55hp (1979) is removing those damn snaprings. It requires special part 311878 which is very hard to get in Sweden and costs 150 dollars which is just not necessary for a 10-20 dollar pair of snap ring pliers. I...

    Suddenly boat stopped going into gear. Help!

    I found one! A nice person from the Evinrude & Johnson Outboards Facebook group is giving it to me for free (lives just an hour from me in Sweden, what are the odds!).

    Suddenly boat stopped going into gear. Help!

    Thats a totally diffewrent part now I look closer. Seems impossible to get hold of part 0320120 even in the US.

    Suddenly boat stopped going into gear. Help!

    Turns out the shifter lever (part 320120) was totally broken inside there. Will try get hold of a new one. Anyone happen to have one in US they can sell me/post to Sweden. Any ideas why this happens?

    Suddenly boat stopped going into gear. Help!

    Got it apart. Heres my next question notice shift rod was actually very unusual and as I was taking apart it just lifted out. Gears so far don't look that bad. Any ideas?...

    How do I remove this stuck impeller key?

    Johnson 55hp 1979. Any ideas how I remove this thing? It looks to have slipped down lower than its supposed to be so cant even grip it...

    Suddenly boat stopped going into gear. Help!

    Ok thanks I'm on my way to fetch it now (had to get a 150 dollar taxi home 🤦‍♂️) Out of interest what makes you assume new gear/dog or driveshaft over a spun prop? Was going to rule that out first but is there something from symptoms that makes you think its not that?
