Re: My outboard died. What should I replace it with?
Hi Sam,
Welcome to iBoats.
I'm also in the SF Bay Area and am fairly new to this forum, as well. For the SF Bay you may want to get the maximum hp recommended by the manufacture. The swells and white caps can get pretty hairy out there and you'll probably want to have the extra hp for those just in case purposes. You can always power down anyways.
If you want to get an estimate to repair your current motor, try SF Boat Works or Helmut's Marine Service in San Rafael. If they don't service Johnson's, I'm sure one of them will refer you elsewhere. Good luck and maybe I'll see you out there.
