Just bought a nice SailMaster 4HP; mod.#J4RLESR-ser# B 8437139. Trying to find out year? Missing a Idle Knob off Front-Ideas where to get it?/ this is the first o/b I"ve seen with throttle on top of motor instead of on Tillar. Is this standard with these models?? Thanks for any Help!!:confused:

Hi, Dennis.

Welcome to iboats. :)

Your Johnson SailMaster is a 1990 model.

The throttle is on top where the operator can reach it because most sailboats mount the outboard in a well and steer with a rudder.
