Johnson 125 Lower Unit

[LeeRingel]

I want to take my lower unit to welder and have the keel repaird. Previous owner dragged the engine very far and remove a piece. Anyway, I removed all the bolts down there. The thing came apart about 2 inches and is hung up. How do I get the lower unit to detach from the top part?<br />Of course, while it is that far disassembled, I should probably rebuilt the water pump. Eh?

Did you dis connect the shift rod?<br />If not, that is your problem. Be sure to set it to nuetral before reassymbly.<br />The scag can easly be repaired / replaced.<br />Also, water pumps is a good idea to replace once a year.

Is that an older motor from the late '60s - early 70s, Lee? The only 125 I'm aware of is an electric shift, with no shift connector. <br /><br />Does Temperance live up to it's name?
