Reply To: 1956 Johnson 30hp, RD-18

I don’t have the RD18 in hand yet and a friend of mine has the powerhead for the RD19 but not the cowl. I was going to pick up the RD18 if I can verify the possibility of making this swap ahead of time. The lower pan numbers on both motors appear to be the same so it seems the cowls would interchange. I suppose there’s always a possibility that the cowl part number from my original RD18 parts list has been superseded by a new number that I don’t have.
