Re: 1960’s Johnson Green?

The rebuilt QD that the leg was getting hot from the exhaust? I drilled a small hole at the very top of the water inlet in the mid, so it would spray on the side of the leg / cool the exhaust. It seemed to help a lot.
I remember it being in the 115 degree range when I lived in Phoenix when I was little.
I don’t want the "new" 40hp to look too good or too bad. I really don’t like the light beige color it is and the 15" mid I’m switching it to is dark Evinrude blue. I figure the ’67’ Johnson Tropic Green will go OK with the rest of the motor that I don’t paint.
