    81 7.5 Johnson

    Replaced water pump and getting more air out of pee hole than water. Sitting in barrel way above water intake.. hose from motor to cowling not clogged.

    J8RLCIC GEARCASE DRIVESHAFT

    I just removed gearcase (fairly easily) with rubber mallet and the drive shaft came out of the lower unit. Engine now soaking upside down in hopes to remove shaft. Is there something that hold shaft in lower unit?? Or can I just insert it back in when installing new H2O pump? Thanks

    1981 7.5hp gearcase removal

    I have same situation. However was able to remove gear housing. The driveshaft came out of housing and is soaking upside down in power head. If I cannot remove the driveshaft, is there something that holds the driveshaft in the Kia housing?
