Tootsie II Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Just purchased a reconditioned older small horsepower Johnson outboard for a kicker. Runs good in my tank! Vendor did not know its age and I wouldn't mind having a ballpark figure on it. It's an older Johnson Sea-Horse with the olive green shaft, white prop and white top cowling. The starting rope handle is on the right side of the front face of the cowling. There is a bottom red/orange colour band and top black band along both sides of the cowling. Could any of you more mature members out there possibly give a time period when Johnson was using this colour scheme. Thanks.

Spiel Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 look for the serial number and run it on line That would do it. But from the description it sounds like my mid 70's model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 check for a button stamped in/attached to the engine block... it should have a model# there, then cross reference it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 From description and colors, you have a late 70's model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeds Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I've got a 76 6hp johnson; colour scheme sounds the same, more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Forget the serial # it's the model # you need. It should be on the plate attached to the bracket that clamps to the transom(serial # also on this plate). It should be something like this(CDL-25 or 9RL-70). Post it here & you should get your answer. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
