Re: Changing the shift rod seal on my Johnson CD-12

[scoots]

quote crosbyman:

i know we don’t fix if it ain’t broken but if you are in there why not inspect for fishing line etc…

change the prop shaft seal, the O ring, spagetti seal and drive shaft seal under the impeller

couple more $$$ of course so it depends on you

I rebuilt all of the lower unit 2 years ago, but not the shift rod seal, because I didn’t know how to remove it.
Now, that’s done and so far – no leaks.
