Re: Johnson 20hp, what year?

Based on the cowling graphics its from '83, im not seeing a 20hp in this lineup though.....

Its not the best way to identify it as the cowling could be a replacement OR the graphics could be a PO's creation, you should post the model number here from the id plate on the transom bracket.....

Re: Johnson 20hp, what year?

thanks for your reply!

that's strange, the markings are correct, but your right I don't see a 20hp listed anywhere for 83.

unfortunately the motor is about 300km away right now, trying to figure out what year it is to I can locate a few parts.

I'm sure that's the right hood though, I have seen a few other 20hp's on Google with these graphics, but they didn't list years or models.


thanks again for your help.

You really need that model number to make a definitive id.....especially so when there is a bit of doubt......it can be the difference between getting hold of the right parts and not.

thanks for the info!

but it seems odd that some sites list a 20hp for 1983 like the one posted above, however other sites like iboats ( where I buy my parts from ) don't list it at all?



thanks again, love this forum!

Re: Johnson 20hp, what year?

ok, actual model is "J20CRCTE", I had a friend go look at the motor, so I know this is right. but still no luck finding parts. I've read that the 1983 25hp parts ( other than the carb ) should work for it. is this correct?
