This is what we did on both our FL120s when the removal of one of the Jabsco pumps for overhaul revealed a failing tang on the drive coupler. So we had the couplers and pumps on both engine replaced with 1" Johnsons.
Do you have a Johnson part number you can share with other FL owners, for the replacement pump?
