[QUOTE="Beanpole, post: 440291, member: 22676"] Hi All. I'm a new member but have been guesting on this site for a while. I have a long shaft 6hp Johnson that came with a 1232 tracker jon boat that is a recent acquisition. The motor is a little rough so I'm going though everything to make it better. I decided to convert it back to short shaft (the model number is not for long shaft) so it fits the little boat. Only the drive shaft, shift rod connector and water tube need to be changed as well as a few twisted off bolts. My problem is the water tube. I cannot get it to budge. At the top where is goes into the grommet it appears to be oval, not round. no amount of pulling, twisting or wobbling has had any effect. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Kerry [/QUOTE]
