and it has merc. control. but this motor i am looking at is a 2003 Johnson 175 HP 2 stroke Outboard i think it a salt water model does this make a different

what i looking for is is this a good motor to aquire or should i keep looking
any issues with this motor
and it will be used in fresh water in GA.
i hope i gave enough info
thanks
JIM

Jim, without the model and serial #'s non of the gurus have an idea if its a DI or a carb engine. Both are good engines IMHO The 03 DI had a year of BRP technology behind them which made 'em superior to the pre-BRP years, later years had even more improvements, It would be hard IMHO to improve on the OMC carb designs. Get 'em #'s up if ya can and these guys will give ya all the info out there.

If it's a johnson 175 it's a carbed 2 stroke & a very good engine. You will have to use omc/brp controlls . The saltwater engines are the same as the freswater ones with the exception of the the steering rod. it's stainless steel on the salwater version.

You're right Chuck!! Key word is Johnson here, they stayed carbed in those years then dwindled away after a brief stint in the 4 stroke genre.....a shame in my book but.............

ok here the info i found on the web site on sure if this helps out much

sorry no serial # on the web page

I just really looking is will this motor beable to run in the love 60mph with a prop and a jack plate

i know the olider mariner would do about 54 but i running the wrong prop

Nope not with a 25" prop shaft. And you've posted 2 different motors on is a DI the other is a carb. Johnson of that year were carbed and Rudes were DI motors.

SHOOT im am jacked up
well i am looking at the EVINRUDE motor sorry

Not with the 25" shaft, if ya want to put it on a bass boat.
