I have a 5hp Johnson TD-20, Serial # 564435.It has been painted brown with a paint brush.Can anyone tell me the name of this outboard? I think is was made between 1946 - 1949.

Re: Seahorse Or What?

Welcome to Iboats, Hayshaker!<br />Unlike Evinrudes, Johnson outboards don't have specific names for different models, and all models are known as "Seahorse". Sometimes they aquire nicknames, but I can't think of any for the TD/TN series outboards. The 5hp engines sure have a good reputation though.<br />The TD-20 was unchanged '46-'49. For interest's sake, your serial number suggests it was built in 1947.

Hayshaker, I have 3 TN-TD 5 horse motors, and some are for parts if you need something. They will be going on ebay as time permits. If you send me a email at Hogrider@Myway.com, maybe I can help somehow. Robby
