Johnson Seahorse year/model

[bubbafett]

Was wondering if anyone had info on this motor:

Model j15rlc
Serial Number: e5249730

My father has had this for years and is looking for parts (rewind spring and cup?) But he doesn't have any other info on it. He doesn't know the year. Anybody have this information or can point me where to look?

Thanks for any help ...

Model number is in error, bubba. Double check it.

Re: Johnson Seahorse year/model

You are correct JB. I called my father and he gave me this model number:

J15RLCSD


I did a quick search of this "new" number and it looks like maybe it is a 1980? Amazing what luck you have when you have correct numbers

You got it, bubba.

J15=15HP Johnson
R= rope start
L=long (20") shaft
CS=1980
D= run number, useful for ordering certain parts.

A little off topic.... but where is the model # located?
