What in particular are you looking for? Looks like a rope start, long shaft(20") 45 HP Motor. Uses QL16V Champion spark plugs, which are a surface gap plug.

Don't know the bore and stroke, but it weighs right at 200#...

Re: 1985 45hp commercial johnson

About the only one I know of is a CMC power T & T unit..Very pricy though and have a 6" setback I believe. So steering cable length may be a problem. I'm sure there are OEM units that will fit. Just not sure which one. You might visit http://tcoutboard.com and give them a call. I would imagine a unit off a 1985(And probably other years) 50 HP would work...Once you find out what will work, visit Ebay for a better price...

yeah, i knew about the cmc but the dealer is telling me they have no listing for my motor. age thing i guess. they also told me that there was never a power trim and tilt made for the commercial units. is a 50 hp same housing?

The CMC unit will work on your motor. Also,I'd bet the brackets are the same, so I would think a T & T unit from a 50 would work. Give those folks in the previous post a call. They will know for sure...

they tell me that these units are not all that good that i should go with cmc. might be a good idea.
