    Johnson lower unit identification - is there a part number stamped somewhere?

    I have 2 lower units - one is seized and was off the boat when I bought it, the other is on the boat.

I called my local Evinrude service center and he...

    SOLVED +++ help identifying Johnson 6 cylinder - missing placard

    So what does that freeze plug mean? I mean 225 stands out pretty obvious btw, my hull is rated 200HP MAX for outboards - could it be possible that someone, somewhere along the way snuck in a 225HP and threw a 200 VRO cover on it to keep the Coast Guard from having a field day if they board u???
