Re: Johnsonrude?
Nope no plate anywhere that I can see, The only "plug" (Freeze plug?) I could find is behind the coils (See pic) & there is nothing on it.
This has been a nightmare, my buddy paid $1500 + 2 60's 45hp mercury OB's 1 ran, and the other was for parts. This was from an outfit in Fresno Ca. ( I won't name them here but I'd give it to you if you PM me. ) We live on the coast near Monterey. About a 2.5 hour drive.
The boat was delivered to Fresno to have the Mercury removed & a used Johnson 35hp installed. To be picked up the next week. So comes time to go get the boat & buddy gets a text that the guy's niece had been in an accident & he did not have the boat done. ( Yea right.) Any way many texts & 2 weeks later my buddy meets the guy in Los Banos, which is more or less the half-way point and brings the boat home. The guy said that it was a Johnson but all he had was a Evenrude cowling & that he would ship the correct cowling to my buddy.
The install was a total hack job, The controls (They say Evenrude) were installed haphazardly, the key switch in the unit must have been bad because the harness was cut at the control & a switch spliced in ( The switch was laying in the seat!) The choke solenoid was melted, & the starter solenoid was working intermittently.
I have got her running pretty good now. No electric choke though, & the neaurtral switch went bad too, it's been bypassed for now.
There was to be a warrenty but, good luck with that!
