Background
Johnson outboard motors are legacy marine propulsion engines associated with Johnson Motors, Outboard Marine Corporation, and later BRP-era service support. Many Johnson outboards share service practices, parts families, and identification patterns with Evinrude outboards from the same era.
Identification
Identify a Johnson outboard motor by the brand name on the engine cowling and the model or serial number plate on the transom bracket, swivel bracket, or clamp bracket.
Johnson outboards are commonly identified by the Johnson name or Sea-Horse badging on the cowling and a model or serial number plate on the transom bracket. Use the complete model code before ordering ignition, carburetor, water pump, or lower-unit parts.
