Johnson model number and year

[Ronald9]

Hi, I want to know where I can find out what the model number tells me. If anybody can help it would be appreciated. It's J35 PLC SM, I take it that this means its a 35hp but is it long or short shaft etc. And can this tell me the year of the engine or does the serial number tell me this S B005986?d

Re: Johnson model number and year

Looks to be:

J=Johnson
35=HP
P=Not sure on that one (Double check)Probably an "R" for rope start
L=Long Shaft (20")
CS= 1980
M=Model run (Means nothing really)
