I'm just going on a gut feeling here but are the Johnrude outboard electronics less reliable than Japanese outboard electronics? I had an Evinrude 9.9 and had to replace the powerpack already. Didn't really use the motor much at all either. I have yet to replace any powerpacks or cdis on my Japanese outboards. I also read of alot more electrical issues on the Johnyrude forums whereas on the Japanese outboard forums there aren't that many. Is it because there are simply more older American motors than Japanese or are the electronics more prone to failer/malfunction. I ask because I'm considering the purchase of an early 90's Johnson 70 and don't want to have to worry about electrics going bad on me while on the water. Just a concern of mine. Anyone have any thoughts or observations? Is this an unfounded concern? Thanks.
