Re: Questions about 1959 Johnson 35HP
Hello Boatn'B<br />The generator setup is pretty much the same for 35 and 40 horse engines from the late fifties well into the sixties.Make sure you get the old type rectifier that fits in the solenoid box with the large cover.<br />The crucial part is that you must have the type of flywheel that has an almost sprocket like smaller wheel on top for the drive belt to fit on.<br />You will also have to find the generator bracket.<br />www.twincityoutboards.com has everything you need,but for a price.<br />You will probably be able to buy 2 deep cycle batteries for the price of one generator setup.<br />However..,I did it and I love it!<br />Have fun.
