25 hp Johnson...lack of info

[a brickhead]

I've been looking online for a few days now for some info on a 25 hp Johnson I recently got from CraigsList. The plate is a little boogered up so all I can make out is the serial # (E5431946) and part of the model # (25R ???) kinda looks like 25R GIM to me, but, I'm getting nowhere. I can't even tell what year the thing is. Can anybody point me in the right direction?? I wanna get a SELOC or Johnson shop manual for it so I can have some handy reference. Thanks in advance for any help.--------ANDREW

Re: 25 hp Johnson...lack of info

The last two characters after the "25R" are the ones that tell you the year. For instance a 25R79R is a 1979 motor. BTW, that motor looks to be a somewhere around a 1980 motor, give or take a year maybe two. From what I recall, most of those motors from that period were very similar.

Late 70's, early 80's. The pictures are small.
