Added this to another post already running but decided it might get overlooked. Can anyone help me determine the year model on this Johnson 150. It's supposed to be a 93 but started bugging me when Seloc manual says it should be this way and it's something different.<br /><br />VJ150ELATR<br /><br />Thanks!

Re: Johnson Year Model

I've checked it and re-checked it. I had the cheat sheet that showed the codes so when I couldn't match it up I thought I had probably just mis-read. Unfortunately that's the number and as you posted there's no A in the code. Headed to garage and will check again with drop light and magnifying glass. Maybe my eyes are just getting old?

We'll my eyes probably are getting old but I checked it and had one of the kids read it too. It's VJ150ELATR. Just FYI the motor is a Silver Star series if that means anything to anyone.<br /><br />Anybody know if you can ask OMC directly by providing model and SN#?

Re: Johnson Year Model

:p And Bear is correct, it's a 1993. I called up OMC tech support and they said the conversion is little different on this motor because it's a commercial model. Not sure what all is different on commercial, tech said it does have a heavier gear case but didn't know of anything else.
