Re: 1960's 40hp Difference Johnson and Evinrude
Most were broken cranks at the flywheel some were rods, overall we hated the things. We had a customer that traded engines every year and we change his Super 35 over on a 15" Thompson boat when he picked up his boat and drove it back to his cottage it was 2 MPH slower than the trip to the marina. We tried ever thing that we could think of to get it right, many calls to the factory and finally but the 35 back on, he got his 2 MPH back and we got the 40 back, that was his last Johnson outboard. It wasn't one of our better summers--Bob
