Johnson 25HP Year 2001/2002 2 Stroke ( Manual Lock/Tilt)

[Copper1944]

I had a bit a small disaster with my 25Hp Johnson, As a result it is stuck in locked down mode
and some of the components in the tilt and lock system have bend out of shape and one part is lost at sea.! I would greatly appreciate if anyone has a similar engine could supply me with detailed photographs of the lock and shallow water running lach system. I am going to try and figure out how to replace damage parts over the winter. I am based in Europe so finding parts is not as easy as in the United States. Thank You

Something to remember about NO ELECTRIC tilt motors.
You DO NOT have to LOCK the motor in the down position. To drive around in FOWARD POSITION at any power / speed. Or at very slow speed when docking. I only use the LOCK DOWN LEVER when I will need to use reverse gear above idle speed.

I understand that, and I continued to use it on Friday last after the mishap. The probelm I had was that when going into possible shallow water I could not engage shallow water running and when taking the boat out of the water I could not tilt the engine up fully to avoid any possible contact with the slipway. The system look complicated and I have searched the WWW for a
detailed diagram but with little success. However common sense and a bit of persistance will solve that. Thank you again.

As I got older. I have learned to NEVER go into shallow water.
Except in sudden fierce squalls.
