Jhonson Super Sea Horse Super Quiet

[Brandonbaha]

Model# RDS-265
Serial#C400459
Im wondering if somebody could tell me what the year and horsepower would be on this model. Got the motor from a friend of mine it was his grandfathers that bought it brand new. It has roughly about 20 original hours on it. So any help would be muchly appreciated

I scanned and saved a service manual that covers your motor. If you want a free copy, send me a Private Message with your email address and I will reply with the manual as an attachment. Good luck with that great old motor!
