I picked up a 1954 Johnson 10 hp QD-15 last week and after getting it to start in a barrel I replaced the impeller and changed the lower unit oil(milky but not too bad), had to change the "O" rings in the fuel line and bought 5' of new two line hose while I was at it. Put it on my 12' Duranautic and she ran like a top all day Saturday. Shifted fine until Sunday. Took it out and in the sandy shallows it felt like I hit something. From what I have been reading here I am thinking clutch dog at the very least, but I won't know until I tear it down.
My question is I have an opportunity to pick up the gears from the lower unit of a QD-17. Will they match up with my older 1954 lower unit? Also, when I break down my lower unit what do i need to do when I put it back together? New seals, gaskets, etc?
Thanks in advance for any help.
