BEST WRISTWATCH EVER. Cracked me up!!!

Love the wrist watch lol!

That RTV - at first I thought it was a red stripe painted on there!

Nice. I've done this myself. Only rigged to a car hoist and chain in the floor for chain straightening. Blew the water pump to bits. Engine back in running order.

I do work on these older outboard and I know you should heat the metal around the bold, nit the bolt itself. The heat makes the metal swell, so swell the metal around your bolt, not the bolt. Might still have twisted off, but I sure hated seeing you torch the bolts.

Hahahaha, nice watch. I wouldn't take that one swimming.

Heating the bolt instead of the case probably caused the bolt to break

You are not heating your bolts hot enough! They should be red hot with melted and burned paint around. Then you stand the chance of getting these bolts out. Also try welding a larger nut to the broken bolts. This usually allows to free that corrosion up

That motor is a job that you don’t want to start!

I've done lots of them like that in my time, BUT those times are done and an old clunker like that is just not worth it. For anyone that's interested, you'll need an oxy acetylene set a no 15 tip, a selection of alloy wedges of various sizes, 2 large flat blade screw drivers 2 hd tyres levers and a 3 pound mini sledge hammer (18 in handle ) and lots of brute force and heat. With care you won't break the front flat part where the shift rod is, but I've seen it done. But as I said it's just not worth the effort the motor is finished.

Love the new watch

it went like this? "Hey, where is that watch?!" "I don't know, but you can use my iWatch" "I would rather tape an alarm clock to my arm......hey...... never mind I got an idea"

Had some of this outboards when i was young. Real crappy things, breaking rods all the times😢

Sad.. Given the classic nature of this motor, at this point, piece it out and hopefully that will cover costs.

I haven’t tried it yet but I have watched videos about the same situation. Submerge the lower unit in a tank or use plastic bags filled with coke overnight. If it doesn’t work all you have lost is your time and the price of soda. And by the way I do agree with others not to heat the bolt but heat the aluminum which expands at a much faster rate. Not red hot because it will blow away like trying to weld it with too much heat.

Well, that's a sad end............

have you thought about tapping the holes with broken studs in them, put grease fittings in and pump them full of grease, might push the lower unit off.

Best available choice.

Time to turn into parts salvage mode. Buzz and chop. Unfortunately the boneyard is often the location for crusty corroded up outboards go to die when they are too badly corroded to service.

If it didnt match up elsewhere, I'd think this was my old motor. Didnt know the bolt in the back was broken and ended up with those screw driver marks you mentioned 😂

The boat? I had one [inboard] They are called a HYDROPLAIN and failed to finish it before I went into the service, so I gave it to my buddy's kid brother he put a Briggs and Stratton in it and fished out of for a couple of years. And I love my NEVERSEAZE on the threads

In the future don't heat the bolts themselves heat the area around the bolts. If you heat the bolt itself up it causes it to expand inside the threads making the problem worse. Also try MAP Gas. Gets a lot hotter than propane.

@@BrandonsGarage Not very likely. The bolt is thicker than the casing of the midsection/lower unit. Therefore takes longer to heat up and expand than the casing.

@danielrobert7181

In my experience, you should heat up both the casing and the bolt alternately, letting either cool before moving to the other and before any attempt to apply some torgue on the bolt. One should also first try to tighten the bolt and then back it up in a slow rocking movement. Spraying water to accelerate the metal contraction might also help. In this case, patience is your best ally !

Heating the bolt head only expands the bolt and makes it harder to remove . You must heat the aluminum to loosen the bolt easily. Every Marine Tech Knows this.

I have a 1971 ish 50hp johnson - I've tried for all the life of me to get the flywheel off as I suspect the flywheel key (and potentially more?) and ended up with a broken bolt. I don't really want to give up on it as I believe it will be a good motor (125psi both cylinders) Any advice for getting a stuck on flywheel off?

Sadly you can't save them all... Spit my coffee out laughing so hard when you were using the torch to kill the creepy crawler and you said, "It's great around fuel systems".

cut the driveshaft, pull the powerhead (shoulders will be seized so heating, tapping and more cutting), then cut the driveshaft down further, flip powerhead over on the bench. now you can cut 2 notches on the bottom to get a split bearing puller in there. puts extreme load on the crank but if the puller is even should do the job without damage. pain in the neck! hate it when owners dont do water pumps for years.

Unfortunately you save the most expensive and hard to replace parts , I’d say sacrifice the leg and D shaft and hopefully the engine will come off without a bolt breaking . The lower unit gears and shaft might be good still and there are tons of 60hp legs to be had with good lower unit housings not to mention drive shafts ! It’s nice of you to give them a break on a different motor !

pack or sensor coil. unfortunately, the sensor is part of the pack on these years. they upgraded later around 1983/1984 to the ones where the charge, power and sensor coils can be replaced individually so i upgrade all of mine to those type. same as used on the 9.9-35hp motors too so they are everywhere. or just go CDI and get the whole stator but its pricey.

Surely try turning engine via flywheel first check ???

Penetrating oil...get some AeroKroil and wait. Hang motor upside down from hoist by the lower, and spray the Koil in each of those holes with broken bolts and on the driveshaft through your little gap, and wait a few days. Don't screw up the lower or mid any more - please don't cut the mid. The short parts are very desireable and a lot harder to find. in the future, spray all crusty fasteners with the Kroil. I rarely need to use heat, maybe on salty stuff.
