Re: Johnson K50 weird shear pin diameter? Crash Video!

[Mumbles]

I’m betting the hole was 3/16 originally and is just dirty or burred over preventing a 3/16 pin from sliding in. Only Elmer over in Cedarburg would have drilled a hole 0.005" smaller than a common size.

It looks like you reacted properly when the bottom came up and touched your motor. I’ve heard a persons natural reaction is to reach out to push the motor away from them when it tries to jump in the boat. Apparently there is more than one senior citizen walking around with a crippled or mangled hand from coming in contact with a spinning flywheel this way many years ago.
