On a Johnson outboard, what year is a 70 hp motor with the last 3 digits in the model number stated as "ESB"\<br /><br />Also, would anyone here know if it is possible for water to enter the discharge hole on the side of the boat for the bilge pump?<br /><br />Thanks

A small amount of water could enter via your bilge discharge...but normally it's located well above the water line. <br /><br />I'm curious why you're asking? <br /><br />Walt

Hey Dylan, The discharge hole is usually far enough above the water line that it doesn't take in water. If you're getting water in the boat from the bilge pump discharge hole, you've got a leaking hose or a bad connection on the hose where it connects to the pump or the thru hull fitting. <br />Backlash
