Yeah, I've been putting off trying a different motor for the last 2 weeks because of the thunderstorms, bad tides, heat and work.
Seems all I want to do is drink bourbon and ice when the weather and work don't cooperate with the boat schedule! WE STILL WANT PICTURES!!

OK! OK! OK!
Here are some of the problems with the Johnson  Rusted steering arm bolt  Busted cavitation plate.  Lower pivet bushing absolutely GONE! I've got a leaking tilt/trim motor, tight/sticky throttle and other nit-picky problems. When I get the motors ready for the swap I take more pics.

I forgot one -
 These bolts are so rusted that I can get them to budge. What is the best way to get them out? Cut the head off and take the shank out when the power head is off or what? Any suggestions?

That's a long way thru corrosion to get to the threads.
A combination of heat, impact driver, even trying to soak the threads will make you cuss. Chances are, they are gonna wring off about 1/4" from the head. At least you can tap the housing and remove it to spray and heat the bolts. An impact driver has been effective about 25% of the time also. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93481

It's actually just the head. There was another one that was about that bad. I was able to get it out and just the head looked that bad. There was powder corrosion on the shank down but not rusted.

that white power is what steel and aluminum make when in saltwater, you can completely kill the midsection but cutting the sides of the bolts jackets with a grinder and cut off wheel to get them out.
