Just to clarify, the Service Bulletins were printed independently of the manuals. I believe Johnson’s goal with each Service Manual revision (3rd Ed, 4th Ed,… up to the 10th Edition) was to incorporate what was learned in the bulletins. However, having a collection of the Bulletins and having looked through the manuals, not all of the information was incorporated. And it should be noted that Evinrude had Service Bulletins too, not all of them the same as the Johnson ones during this period.
I looked though the Johnson bulletin collection I have and could not find anything on the "hot shifter/leg" pertaining to the ’58 QD. As posted in the other thread, I believe the Dec ’54 RD bulletin I posted is the one people are thinking about. Since this is an interesting case, I’ll try to look at the Evinrude ones, though they are not as well organized or complete as the Johnson ones I have.
