Can any one tell me about a 1990 48 hp Johnson outboard ? I have a chance to buy one and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them ? The guy that owns it told me that he had to have the lower unit replaced twice I was wondering it this was a weak point ? Any info would be alot of help . Thank You , Guy

They're a good engine loosely based on an older design that was reliable.

Lower units fail for various reason. The #1 reason being hitting something submerged. #2, not servicing the fluid.
