Does anyone know if Johnson made a 175hp Sea Hoarse motor in 1990?? I thought the sea hoarse models were older but I know a guy that says he has a 1990.

I know they made a 175 but don't know what they called it. I'm sure somebody will chime in with more info.

They made three models in 1990. 175STLES, 175TLES, and 175TXES. Dunno if one was designated "Sea Horse"?

Well, They certainly were still proudly displaying the Sea Horse logo, if that's what he meant.

if it has a X in the model number it is a 25 inch shaft. if it has a L it is a 20 inch shaft.

Johnson made different model motors for different markets - thus a motor that was not available in the U.S. may have been made available Canada, or overseas.
