OMC (Outboard Marine Corporation) and its brands, Evinrude and Johnson, use a variety of washers in their outboard motors, each serving a specific purpose. These washers can be:
Flat Washers:Used to distribute the load of a fastener, like a bolt or screw, over a larger area, protecting the surface beneath and preventing loosening.
Thrust Washers:Designed to manage and reduce friction caused by rotational or sliding motion, often found in mechanical assemblies like the gearcase or propeller hub.
Spacer Washers:Used to create a desired spacing between components, such as in the propeller assembly.
O-Rings:While not strictly a washer, O-rings can function as a seal to prevent leaks, especially in applications like drain plugs.
How to find the correct washer:
To identify the specific washer you need for your OMC Evinrude or Johnson outboard motor, you'll need thepart number. You can find this information by:
