Re: Johnson 70EL79R

quote outbdnut2:

The E is Electric start. There is no T in the number so it’s a remote control motor – no tiller. Not sure what the R at the end stands for – maybe a revision mid year?? Somebody here should know.

Dave is right
1979 70hp (20"/long transom no power trim and tilt) The "R" at the end of the model number indicates some sort of mid model year change, probably something very minor….
Great engines for sure…
