I just bought a 12 foot aluminum V hull boat and the outboard motor says its a Johnson Seahorse 10. I have looked at pictures and came down with it being a 1962 by the looks. I will post pictures if anyone has this outboard or knows for sure which year it is. The issue I am facing is the throttle handle is broken, so I can really start it to see if it runs, even thought the seller said it did. Also while checking it over, the handle for the forward, neutral, and reverse was broken. I could move it, it moved freely and did not feel like it wasn't shifting into another gear. I often start an outboard at work, and you can shift it into the gears, and feel that you have changed. Anyone know if this is normal for this year? I am not very mechanically inclined lol. I will take pictures of the things that are broken and hopefully someone with some knowledge can guide me the right way!
Thank You,
