I have this Johnson 9.5 that needs work. Mainly changing the lower unit out due to damage to the case as well as the fact that it has a mid-section extension for use on a tall transom boat, or sail boat, as a kicker. There is no serial # or model number plate on the transom bracket. Is there any place on the power head I can find a reference number to determine model number?

The problem at hand is the copper tube that feeds water from the W/P to the power head. I can’t install the new lower unit because the tube is too long. I can’t cut it the right length since I can’t get a tubing cutter up inside the midsection, and I have no idea what the proper length is. Also, I have been unsuccessful in removing the tube. I believe the power head will have to come off.

If anyone has disassembled one and or has a tube lying around, I’d be glad to but it off of you, and I’d appreciate any info you have as far as disassembly.

Here are some pictures to possibly help with identification.
