Rarely do I find one single video that shows you EVERYTHING you need to know, especially for a job that has as many steps/parts as this. Good job sir. Well done
this is a great video! I had bought a boat with the same engine on it that was "supposedly" in good condition (I didn't know better at the time), and your videos have helped tremendously. $80 for a seal kit (canada) and some rented tools is way better than several hundred (or more) to get someone else to do it. thank you so much!!!
Just before it got too cold in Canada, I decided to check the gear case oil in my '78 55Hp Johnson... this is a new motor to me (two summers) and had replaced the oil and drain seals at the start of the season. Thankfully I did check, as about 1/2 liter of water poured out of it, with the oil following that. That much water would have likely cracked the lower end unit over the next month or so in sub zero temps. Thus I went searching for how to replace oil seals in a 55hp Johnson and found your video. Thank you so much for the detailed, real-world view of how to fix this. I have the boat in my garage, and plan to re-seal the lower end this winter. I have the original service manual, but hope most of this video applies to my motor. Of particular interest is the other video you did showing what to look for when buying ebay tools. It's so easy to focus on the problem with the engine, and loose sight of the completeness of the tool.
Great video. What I like most is that it demonstrates the complexity of the process and the value of a good outboard mechanic, who has both the knowledge and experience to do it right the first time. Think I will call him later today.
this was one of the most informative videos I have ever watched,, you explained every part of it in great detail,, your camera shot's were very good as well,, not the usual shaky camera shot's that some people who clearly do not know how to use a good steady tripod,, and you end up getting very sea sick watching their videos!,, it was a long video,, but I was glued to it from start to finish,, I was thinking that some of the tools you used most people wont have,, so getting out oil seals can be done using a screw driver or a drift!,, using great care!,, thank you for over half an hour of wonderful educating entertainment,, now I know how to fix my gearbox seals if I need to do them,,
I was amazed at how easily you removed the large circlips to get access to the gears, and then how easily they went back on. Your step by step instructions were exceptionally thorough and complete. You were concise and to the point. Thank you sir for your effort in making this fine video. Sadly, I own an OMC 800 stringer outdrive, but this video will make working on it much less painful. Great job!
Great video, very informative. KEEP POSTING. Thank you, you are providing and excellent service during this time that people need stuff done and no one wants to work!!
Thanks alot Brandon. I have a 1975 85hp that i had to take out the drive shaft and everything out of the lower because there was an issue with the clutch dog detent spring and balls. But now that its fixed, this will help me assemble it.
I am a total amateur when it comes to boat motors but I have spent a career in a mechanical trade and rally appreciate this video. I would like to attempt this but i would have to pick up some special tools the extra long snap ring pliers, bearing pullers, etc. I also have to get up a bit of nerve to try it. I don't have that cool vice either and without that, that would make any attempt very very difficult.
Thanks for this usefull information. I recently bought an used Evenride 30 at our dutch marketplace whihc ment after a big mistake because of its technicialal state. Engine was complete worn out .Brought it to our local dealer Sirag Warns for a damage report and after 2 weeks and 2 days still waiting not any responce. So i desided to look for diys information and so i met your video. Probably i am getting an etec technischian with customer friendly service
Awesome video! I just bought my first boat. Its a project boat so everything is trashed. The first thing I noticed was the lower unit was seized up. I was able to break it free by soaking the lower unit in rust remover for a hour. Now it’s time to do this. Thanks for the video.
you and I are kind of in the "same boat" Mine came with a 115 v4 evinrude, id tag unreadable since it is so old, but it's speculated is from 1996. Am trying to find the seals that will fit it's lower unit.
Brandon awesome video it is helping alot. Quick question what is best method to clean the bearing assembly and when you repack the seals should I put grease on the bearings themselves as well
Brandon I have the entire lower gear case stripped out all gears and bearings..my question was can I powder coat the lower unit once everything is stripped? just was worried about the excess of heat it will be enduring once in the oven for powder coating purposes. Thank you
Great video! Thank you !! Do you know if all these tools work for my 1980 85hp? I noticed you mentioned it will work for the 88hp I already bought the seals .
Gosh, I wish I had seen this before taking mine apart to change out the water pump. I had no idea the shifter rod screwed in and was activating the gear box by going up and down. Instead, I thought it simply went from side to side. It apparently was only being held in by one thread because it turned loose when I reinstalled the lower section. There is no way to get it in and out of gear now, so I am going to have to take it all apart again and screw in the rod. Problem is, I don't have a clue as how far to screw it in. There are no videos on how to do that. I may have to do it all the way in and adjust it later through the controls at the top. Great video. Just wish I had done better homework.
@@BrandonsGarage Thanks Brandon. I took a guess and screwed in 4 complete turns. It connected at the top OK and appears to do what it supposed to do without adjusting the linkage. That surprised me because it must have barely been connected when I removed the loser housing.
hey fantastic vid tx. Just replaced the drive shaft - after re assembling in N the shaft made the rumbling sound. Watching this I see yours does as well (33:18) you start of in fwd (no sound), then click once (rumbles), then again into Rev (rumbles). so i guess they rumble in n too? disassembled it again but watching this i think its ok..
great video.....expert work performed. I just did this on my 1999 Johnson Ocean Pro 150 including the bearing carrier seals but unfortunately still have water getting in :( I had grooves in my drive shaft where the bearings ride so I am guessing that is where my leak is. Also I cant remember if I installed the drive shaft bearing holder with hole pointing forward.....would that be a catastrophic failure for my bearings or would they still get lubed somehow?
Your vid was seriously helpful. Can another type of grease and sealing compound be used? they are not available on amazon, and I am in Canada, which always seems to make things more expensive and harder to find...
Thanks for sharing, very informative. I think my shifter is sloppy, where it does not shift back into neutral from forward. I’ve followed procedure for shaft height, and think I need to replace the gear box. How do you troubleshoot that? Thanks Tim
I Was replacing the water pump on a beautiful ‘87 Evinrude 15hp. I pulled the driveshaft straight up out of the lower unit. It is my understanding that the detention balls drop out. This looks like a very difficult thing to dissemble and and repair. Do you have any videos of this process.
84 johnnson 9.9 runs perfect wxcept that dam carrier bearinga have changed now. You just use the big rubber and the 1 plastic double lip seal. Then prop and i thought i had it fixed then i noticed oil in the pan a few days later. No water just oil. Which tells me its the prop shaft seal. If you could have showed how to replace the new carrier bearings 03060
Brandon thanks for all your videos. Do you have any on reassembly of all the gears and the headaches? Tips on pinion nut and proper way to tighten. My 1983 75-Johnson - 20"gear case, I found a bad forward gear and pinion ( due to the giant rock I ran over). Let me know if you have any info on good videos.
I'm using very similar tool as yours to pull the bearing assy out (johnson 50hp 2stroke, 1997), but the darn bearring carrier is stuck pretty well inside. I'm about to to abandon this lower unit and buy another used one. Do you have any last suggestion?
I know this video is 6 years old but do you know if that bearing housing below the water pump housing has to be removed to replace the water intake screens? I have a 1976 Evinrude 115hp two stroke v4 and the water intake screens are all mostly broken and I'd like to replace them.
The size and thread pitch is 1/4 - 28. Unfortunately, finding a threaded rod with 28 threads per inch is difficult. I just used a 1/4 - 20 threaded rod. I was able to get them in the hole about a half turn and that was enough to get the holes aligned for the first two bolts. The length is about 8 or 10 inches. You just need enough to be able to screw them out by hand once you get the first two bolts started.
Hi Brandon those guide pins are sold out everywhere, is the thread same as the one you used the tap to clean up? I'm going to need to get the all thread rod if this is going to get done in timely manner, any help would be appreciated on size spec of those guide pins for carrier bearing. Great vid btw👍
I just pulled mine apart 2008 115h.p v4 and noticed from your video that mine didnt have a snap ring right by the reverse gear.... Is this on all evinrudes?
So those 4 screws that hold the bearing carrier all have their own O rings.. if u look at the underside of the bolt heads they have a recessed part that fits an o ring.. otherwise it will definately leak.. now if you got new screws than they might come already on there but if your reusing old screws than gotta buy new o rings which for me were 4$ each!!! For an o ring that wouldnt fit on my pinky.. rediculous.. but all my old ones were ripped up... just an fyi.. but very helpful video.. other than all of evinrudes overpriced lubes and speciality tools which i didnr use a one of em., had a ford torsion spring removal tool that worked for the puller.. other than that i used regular old twistin and beatin tools and used red high temp gasket rtv and marine greases.. good deal tho..
I have a 2000 90hp, I see mine has two retaining clips with bolts on the outside of the bearing carrier. Did I miss you taking them out, or are there two different carriers one that is secured by the two bolts and clips and one that is secured with the four bolts underneath?
HELP! The seals I removed looked like this but when I order the part which is 0342787. The lip is big. And confusing which way they go. I forced together and the spring falls offs. Doesn’t make sense. I have a 97 Evinrude 90hp
Working on a 1989 88SPL redid the seals and when I went to check that everything was working noticed the driveshaft won't moving regardless of being in neutral or gear. There is slight play in it but doesn't continue after the slack is taken out, wondering what I did wrong?
Have a question I have a Johnson 140 down by the intake where the water go in there's a little bitty hole there water is coming out of it is it supposed to do that
EXCELLENT NICE STEP BY STEP BUT WHY DID YOU NOT SHOOT SOME CLEANER UNDER PRESSURE INSIDE THAT LOWER UNIT KNOWING THE KIND OF CRUD YOU TOOK OUT? I GUESS I AM MR. CLEAN, LOL. VERY GOOD VID, HOPE THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY 90 HP 1997 EVINRUDE, IT IS TOTALLY LOCKED UP. LEFT ON BACK YARD FOR OVER 10 YRS. BY PREVIOUS OWNER.
Thanks for the video. I thought I was finished and now I can't get it to go into forward gear. It worked fine before I replaced the seals. Any suggestions on what I might have done wrong ? I am hoping I don't have to pull it apart.
Thanks Brandon. I messed with it a little more and realized I was not pulling hard enough on the shift rod. You really have to yank it to put it in forward. Now it seems to work fine. Thanks again for the video and your help.
Hello, my o-ring for the shift shaft seems to be smaller then the 1 in the kit 5006373. Is the kit o-ring correct? Thanks. And the kit came with 2 o-rings
How important is it to make sure the hole in drive shaft bearing housing to make sure it faces forward? Wouldn't it get lubricated in any orientation since oil will make its way all around it?
Eh, probably. But the hole makes sure sufficient oil makes it way into the rollers. I've seen them installed forward or backwards. If you have a manual I would give it a look to see which way yours gets installed.
1973 Johnson 65 hp. You don't happen to have a lower seal kit recommendation eh? I've only been finding individual parts at this point. Model 65ESL73R. The internet has not helped me at all. I feel useless
Hey, do you know the size of the O-Ring for the upper bearing housing. I am from Germany so I need it in mm. I measured 54.6 x 2.6 is that correct or is the thickness 3.0 millimeters? Greetings from Germany from Malte.
Hey Brandon do you have a video or any tips on inserting the prop shaft and pinion gear in the v6 150 Johnson? The detent linkage broke I got it installed with that spring and bearing. The service manual is pretty foggy on the install. Thanks and great videos!
I think they swapped the lower unit to a different one. Part number is 332140. The seals are the ones you are using. I’m trying just ti find the seals not the kit
Hi Brandon. Your video is excelent. I have a question: I have to change the forward gear on my 200ho evinrude, 1977 2 stroke. I have the new FG, is it imperative to have a matched pinion?
This has to be by far the best instructional video on how to perform this task. Thank you for sharing!
Rarely do I find one single video that shows you EVERYTHING you need to know, especially for a job that has as many steps/parts as this. Good job sir. Well done
Insanely helpful! You are the best I've ever seen at step by step for outboards.

Technically yes.
It shims between the pinion and driveshaft bearing/seal. Ill find the instructions tonight, should help.

Hello, hey my peller housing has 2 tunes I'm assuming it's for dual water out let ,but Amazon one has housing for one outlet, any advice?
Use an impact instead of a ratchet on your puller. You don't have to fight the twisting of the puller as much,and it's alot faster.

Perfect 👌 thanks mate ☺️

@@BrandonsGarage ahhh, thanks! I'll spend the extra time buying everything separate I suppose.
Seems impossible to find a seal installer as well...
Hey, do you know the size of the O-Ring for the upper bearing housing. I am from Germany so I need it in mm. I measured 54.6 x 2.6 is that correct or is the thickness 3.0 millimeters? Greetings from Germany from Malte.
Nice bench stand for lowers.. did you make it?
Do you know what seal to get for the carrier? part number for the carrier is 332139. I bought the kit but the prop shaft still leaks. Thanks
Hey Brandon do you have a video or any tips on inserting the prop shaft and pinion gear in the v6 150 Johnson? The detent linkage broke I got it installed with that spring and bearing. The service manual is pretty foggy on the install. Thanks and great videos!
Sorry, I don't have any videos on it. I haven't rebuilt a v4 case after starting my channel.
You still rock!
I think they swapped the lower unit to a different one. Part number is 332140. The seals are the ones you are using. I’m trying just ti find the seals not the kit
Hi Brandon. Your video is excelent. I have a question: I have to change the forward gear on my 200ho evinrude, 1977 2 stroke. I have the new FG, is it imperative to have a matched pinion?
Just use a Pencil ✏️ to push the O-ring back in the Shift Rod Hole . Eraser end in.

i`m going to fix it`s real help your video Thank You ^0^~~~
