    1956 Johnson 15 HP Questions

    I am thinking of using this motor on a boat I am building and wanted to know a bit more about it. <br /><br />Does this motor recharge the battery on its own or does it have to be charged separately? <br />Is it a reliable motor for every day (not hard) use? <br />Does anyone have a wiring...

    I recently acquired a 1940 Evinrude outboard, 5.4 HP, 4 cylinders, silver paint, and want to know where to go from here.
