[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 402743, member: 13599"] While working on a recently gifted 1966 33hp Johnson, most of the bolts came out fine, fresh water only and well taken care of is making it a fun and easy project ...... on the other hand, I have a 1960 40hp Johnson Super Sea Horse that I started on the lower unit today and it appears to be a salt water motor, the P/O ran it with water in the gear case, and also the bushings are charred indicating that also possibly with no oil in the gear case . . . I don't know what kind of Anti-Seize he used, but, it seems like there was JB Weld in every screw and bolt on the lower unit. It took most of the afternoon to get everything loose for new parts. Luckily, none broke off. then to top it off - he put a steel (yes, STEEL) shear pin in the prop and it had to be drilled out. So I would like to reiterate what Pappy strongly suggests about the anti-seize. So after today, I will swear off using any kind of Anti-Seize that has the metal content such as copper or aluminum.
