Removing lower unit from 01 johnson 115 - Johnson Boating

SOURCE: johnson 4 stroke 115 hp will not start. fuel

Sounds like and injector problem to me. If it was a 2 stroke I'd tell you to pull the carbs and clean them ,but EFI is a whole different story. Most certaintly a fuel problem, most likely injector related, you'll most likely need to go see a marine mechanic with the proper equipment to analyze, rather than start replacing parts you may not need.

if you haven't fixed this already, take the pastic water pick up covers off there are two joiner nuts in there undo them, there is a plastic cone on each end take them off and it will slip through. I own the same model and year outboard.

First thing you need to do is remove the shift pin it is located underneath the carburetors it is a 3/8 head you will probably need a 1/4 drive swivel socket. After that you can take the bolts that hold the lower unit on off. I think there is four 9/16 bolts on the sides and a 5/8 above the prop and you might need to take the trim tab off and get another bolt under there. It might take a dead blow hammer to get it loose. If you are doing a water pump it is pretty easy just make sure to spin the drive shaft clockwise while putting the housing back on
