[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 394521, member: 13599"] LOL just picked up this old Johnson 40 Sea Horse. I was told it may be in the 1958 range, but not sure. Boat and motor has sat in a barn the past 35 years so dirt daubers took it over. The motor will need a COMPLETE teardown and rebuild before I even attempt to turn it over. 35 years is a LONG time to just sit idle. It is electric start as well as manual pull cord. Gonna be fun fun fun !! First step is to "gently" remove the mud nests with the ShopVac to prevent as much debris as possible from falling down into the lower leg. Then a good degreaser and cleaning before removing the lower unit to make it easier to move around. what are the pros/cons about the brass prop ??? I still have a handful of brass shear pins left over from the last '58 35hp Johnson I had. [/QUOTE]
