My Dad has a 1958-59 5 1/2 hp Johnson Sea Horse outboard that runs perfectly. Model # is CD-15 and serial # is 1712821. Does this motor have enough antique value that we should sell it to one of you collectors, or should we just sell it with the old fishing boat it is on? Thanks.

Are you sure it isn't QD-21 ? That would be 10HP 1960.

See parts here.

QD-22 is 1961.

You can get some of the parts from marineengine.com at this link or this link where you will have to select year and horsepwer.

Some other parts you could get from a Johnson dealer.

weasle123,

That motor would use Type C Gear Lube.

That water pump housing might be available from Johnson dealer, it appears to not be available as a aftermarket part.

You can post further questions on the MarineEngine.com board in the Johnson/Evinrude category.

This site OldMarineEngine.com is for old inboards, not outboards...

Thanks.

Hi!

Over 15 years ago, my dad gave my husband a Johnson Sea Horse. The serial # is 1818101 model # AD 12. Can you tell us what year it is, the horsepower and if we can find parts to it? It did run up until a few years ago. We would like to get it fixed to use, but also for sentimental value.

Thanks!

Check for your model and see this link.

I see a few questions about value on these old 1950's Johnson motors, They are to new and plentiful to be valueable and to old to be a primary fishing motor, They did run great, I have 6 of them and the most I paid for any of them was $50. Most shops wont work on them because they are afraid they will no get paid when the bill is several hundred dollars. If you can repair them yourself, they can still be useful motors. Do not invest in them. use them if you can

I have a 1948-50 2 1/2 horse Johnson Seahorse. It runs great for about 45 min. and then stalls out. It can be restarted, with priming, but will only run for about a minute. Any ideas what the problem is?

Ken,

This site is really for "inboards" not "outboards", but that model CD-14 is 5.5HP from 1957.

Carb kit would be 18-7043.

See other parts here and manuals here.

I have recently inherited a 2HP johnson motor that i have no idea the yr of this motor. I would say sometime in the 60s. the model number is 2R71A and the serial number is E3953535 and I was wondering what the mixture would be for this motor.

What year and/or model number is it?

See the look-up for old Johnson manuals on the MarineEngine.com site.

I have what I believe to be a 1937 4.5 hp johnson. It was disassembled years ago for restoration and still sitting in a box. It appears to be complete and restorable. It's a model LT37, SN 264253. Any idea as to it's value and would parts be available if I decided to tackle the project.
