I just bought an old Pearson Mate fiberglass boat.

There is an old Johnson OB that I'm told is 15 HP.

The only number I can read on it currently (painted at least once) is FDR-17B

Thanks for your help.

Howdy, Jed.

Welcome to iboats. :)

That is a 1963 18HP. Great engine.
Fuel mix is 24:1.
Spark plugs are Champion J4C gapped at .030"
Set the points at .020"

Good luck. :)
