40HP Johnson
« on: June 09, 2012, 05:09:58 am »
$75 motor picked up at local junkyard.
Cost me $32 just for the gas line connectors and hand pump.  :o

A bud and I took the lower unit apart hoping that it had actual extensions on shafts etc as it has a 6" extension externally.
It also gave me the oppertunity to check water impeller etc.
Looked like it has been rebuilt or has VERY little time on this engine..
Seemed like a good deal so far..but the video shows the real story.

Trying to make power from alternative energy any which way I can.
Just to abuse what I make. (and run this site)

That seems like a sweet little "Find" you got there. Sounds really good in the video! I have a 35hp Johnson on a 16' flatbottom. That's about the best setup there is for small fishing outings. You gonna like the way its runs all day long on a half tank of gas. Keep us posted, okay?
