So I picked up a 55hp Johnson Selectric. I don't really know anything about the motor any experts that can tell me some areas of concern with this motor?
Exhaust plate warping/corrosion causing exhaust to enter cooling system, Hydro-electric shift components can be expensive. Thermo-electric choke often quits working. Ignition components also can get expensive
