So I am getting a couple of older OB's going. A 1966 9.5hp Evenrude and a 1974 15hp Johnson. The 9.5 was my Grandpa's and I bought it from his estate years ago with his 12 ft. Hewescraft. I used it for years before going on to bigger outfits but never got rid of it. I have the owners manual for it and it weighs 60 lbs. The 15 was my late hunting partners motor and I never got the manual for it. I found the manual on Ebay and have it coming but it will be a week or so before it arrives so..........just wondering if anyone here has a similar motor and/or owners manual with the weight listed?
When I lifted them both while getting them to the test tank, etc the 15 seemed a lot heavier than the 9.5?? but I am old ya know
I'll use them both on the 12 foot boat. I remember that the 15 was a lot more motor than the 9.5 back when they were both in use. The 15 put a 14 foot MirroCraft up on plane with two guys easily. The 9.5 barely planes the 12 foot with one person. Hope to use them both on the boat. The 9.5 has a better reputation for trolling down slow and the 15 gets up and goes pretty good for the little motors. Anyway, anyone have th weight of that 1974 15 hp Johnson? Thanks in advance.
