[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 25452, member: 55"] To ad to what fowlmood said, do not carry the unit by the shaft. If it comes unmeshed from the gears, you will have to completely disassemble the LU to repair. On many of those motors, the powerhead has to be removed to get to the mounting bolts. We are going to have to do that to the '79 55 horse Johnson in the shop before we mount it astern the Lund. A good manual will lead you through both tasks, and it shouldn't take much more than your average tools. [/QUOTE]
