Seems the only thing that varies is the gear shift linkage. Thanks for the links. I have a 94 Johnson tiller 60, have not found a similar motor on video. Anyone know what is needed to do the linkage on that engine?[/QUOTE]

Hiya,

The linkage can be gotten to from the front of the engine.  It will require moving the front air silencer, then loosen some of the items up on the right hand side of the motor as you are facing it from the front.  The linkage will be down in and under, and easy enough to access to unscrew and reinstall.

This is the one drawback that I have found with OMC/BRP 2 strokes in midrange size.  The shift linkage is a vertical movement rather than a rotational movement like mercury or Yamaha models, that just have to have a splined shaft line up.

It is not bad, but it can be a tad bit of a pain, but once you get access to that bolt, things should move smoothly.  If you are in the twin cities metro, I'd give you a hand on it this spring when it is time to pull the boat out again..
