Re: Identifying a ’80’s or newer Johnson 15HP

[David Stanton]

My 1989 has the kill switch on the end of the tiller. I have two 1991s that have the kill switch half way up the tiller where your green pen is pointing to. My 1989 does not have that detail on the tiller, so I’m, guessing it’s newer than 1989.

Neither, my 1989 s or 1991s have that kind of fuel filter, so maybe that came in 1992, or was only used on the commercial models. My ’89 and ’91s only have the screen in the fuel pump for filtering.

I like the graphics on the shroud of your motor – much different then my 1989 or 1991, but that may be because it’s commercial.

BTW: The kill switch on the end of the tiller, in my opinion, was not one of OMCs better ideas. When I’m trolling with it, every so often I bump the switch and shut it off.
