where to find impeller kit?

[Guppy35]

I have a 1968 5 hp Johnson that I took the lower unit off yesterday. The impeller itself is fine but the key that holds it in place was sheared in half and a few of the gaskets were dry rot and dissolved. Any idea where I can buy a kit that would include the key and gaskets or where I could buy them individually?

Thanks,

Sean

Try napa, they have an extensive marine catalog. That's pretty old but it wouldn't surprise me if they could get it.

Try boats.net. Had all the single parts I needed.

There is a site that specializes in older motors and parts. i think it was oliies board or something like that. i have the link at home and will post it when I get home tonight. I hope the link is still good as its been many years since i have visited.

I did a quick search and came up empty. So it is likely a dead link I have at home. I'll try it and see anyway. you can also check out Iboats. i found a lot of good info there as well.

West Marine should have it.

Thanks for all the quick replies, I checked out boats.net and I think I found everything I needed (for now). It is definitely a good list of places to have for the future though! Thanks again

I priced some parts thru vintage outboards. Just google that and I thinkits the 1st or 2nd link.

Brobeil Marine in Buffalo suppled me with parts for a WW2 outboard motor once. They have been around forever and have tons of old parts.

All the spare parts for johnson and Evinrude engines from 1957 and up are widely available at Johnson dealers and most marinas. If you are in Rochester,NY, your best connection would be Mayers Marina at the outlet of Irondeqoit Bay 
(webster side) because he specializes in Johnson Evinrude (and Chrysler and Bearcat) from between 1915 and 1980 and he will tell you exactly how to install.

 Pugsly also has everything you need.

If you want to buy online, it is   www.iBoats.com   you want to look at because not only do they have all the parts you need, they also have discussion forums with one that is dedicated exclusively to the repair and maintenance of johnson /Evinrude outboards. This forum has been up for close to 12 years now and has advanced search and condensing functions to help you navigate through tens of thousands of pages  dedicated to outboard maintenance  contributed by very fine (and some not so fine) outboard mechanics.
