When I started, my first motor was a 6 hp Johnson on a 12' sears gear fisher. Never never had a issue!!

Then I got a 17' with a 1971 60 hp Johnson, ran perfect every time!! But I one problem after another with the electric shifters!! and after tearing the lower unit down 4 different times I got rid of it!!

But I was in love the way Johnson ran and especially the way it started every time!! Like hitting a light switch!

Then I got a 1990 90hp Merc, that motor ran great and I think stronger then the Johnston, But I hated the way it started!! Never knew weather it would or not? Always did.

Then Got the V20 I/O and we won't go there! >:(

Converted to the Yamaha, and loved it!! till it died :'( Got a second Yamaha that was DOA on arrival >:(

Now I have a 1989 Enivrude 175 and as far as I can tell she runs great!! Had a few issues, but I think I have worked them all out.
Keeping my fingers crossed for the up coming season!!


Now if I had the cash, I would have a new Yamaha or E-tec

But for now, if it runs and I can disconnect the oil injection its the motor for me!!
