Hey fellas,

I was wondering if one of you could help me by either posting a picture or sending me a link to a 1989 Johnson 15HP short shaft "shaft not important"

I might be possibly getting this 89 "original owner too" I have not seen a picture of it yet or seen it, but by the sounds of it this person has taken good care of it. Just want to make sure that when I go and see it that it is the year he claims as I am taking it that the graphics on the cover changed for that specific year?

Anyone that could post some pics of an 89 that would be great :)
Thanks

LOL we all make mistakes :p

Have any of you ever personally owned this motor? From what I read it is a very solid reliable motor, well I guess the same could be said for almost every Johnson ever built right? ;)

oh yea. sure as schitt. Yea, I just traded off my 1958 JW-14 for a 1983 Johnson 7.5hp. It looks similar to that 15.

I would have to say you did very well there!
Used to have a 1964 JW-19 Good little motors, but hated not having neutral or reverse.

Heck ya, was just pokin fun, my dva work takes the cake. I haven't owned that particular year but the same design for powerhead and lower unit were used from 74-93, over the years they upgraded the motors with different thermostat location, better throttle control, different electronics but essentially the same tried tested and true design.
