Re: 1987 50hp johnson lower unit problems
I had a similar problem with a Mercruiser outdrive, but started with a good (thousands of dollars) relationship with a local guy. He let me rebuild it in his shop and shimmed it for me. I paid significantly less than retail, did 99% of the work, and he made money.<br /><br />Jeff has the knowledge and the tools, but he may not have the SBs.<br /><br />He's 45 minutes east of you and while you're waiting, you could fish Barge canal!<br /><br />Proptec Marine <br />2855 North Banana River Drive, Cocoa, FL 32922 <br />(321) 632-2839 <br /><br />(I have no financial relationship, but appreciate his quality work)<br /><br />Incidentally, I put at least 800 miles on that rebuild and sold it running good!<br /><br />Good luck!
