my current engine on the back of my simms super v 14 foot boat
is a johnson 50 hp can someone tell me the year of manufacture
model No j50belcnr serial No b004126.
also on the plate is outboard marine belgium n.v. brugge.
i bought the outfit in 1987 and has never been serviced other than new impeller in 88 and plugs and gearbox oil yearly and
grease points. would it benefit for a full service someone told me
othr than what i have been doing myself it would be a waste of money as the timming is electronic and does not go off
it still goes like **** of a shovel.it still has the standard prop
alu 11x3/4 x17 fully trimmed out it will do about 39mph.
what speed benefit would i see from an upgrade to say a
19 or 21 inch pitch ,it still has plent of revs left with the 17 so
i would not be under reving. i think iam right in saying it should rev between 4500 and 5500.
any information on the above would be appreciated
regards.
