At the Mystic Expo last weekend I picked up some 20s Johnson and Evinrude parts. Among them was this leg from an early bigger Johnson.
I thought it was from a P35 but it doest match the leg on my P35. I’m now thinking this might be from a P30. What has me is the water tube out/in fittings on the side of the leg.
I also picked up what I believe to be a P30 powerhead.
Can someone please tell me definitively what I have?August 25, 2018 at 3:38 pm #81765can’t tell you for e sure what you have, but can tell you what you don’t have.
Not a P-30 leg. P-30 doesn’t have any water exit fittings on the tower, it all goes out the lower unit.
That leg looks like it would be for a motor with a mechanical water pump, and the P-series motors used the pressure-suction cooling system.
Does look like a P-30 transom bracket. The "P8" and "P9" casting ID’s on the tilt quadrants match up with my P-30.
Dunno if these pixels will help, but here they are anyway
Hope this helps.
Best,
PM T2August 25, 2018 at 8:40 pm #81778Thanks for the info. The casting number on the head with 2 water connections on mine is P19.
Your P30 is coming out nice.
Thanks for the pictures. It looks like the 2nd photo is a different motor than the first.
What Johnson motor of that Era was large and had a water pump?August 25, 2018 at 9:30 pm #81783August 25, 2018 at 11:40 pm #81790Second motor is ID’d in the photo as a B-35. They were an altered P-35 that used a special transom bracket that was meant for it to be installed on an Aquaflier boat. Steering was accomplished by remote control, there was a large rope sheave that mounted directly underneath the powerhead. This motor was missing the steering rope sheave.
The P-30 came out OK. Runs fine at least. I originally did the clean-up work back in 2003, but never got it back on the water until earlier this summer.

Love the similar yet slightly different greens you used on the jugs and the transom clamps. Looks great.
August 26, 2018 at 1:28 am #81801I should have recognized that 2nd motor. We had a B35 show up at the Mystic Expo last weekend.
August 26, 2018 at 3:23 am #81807IIRC, Walt Peeters has/had a B-35 that I worked on and wrote an article about for the Outboarder back in the late 1990’s. There just aren’t many of those motors around.

August 27, 2018 at 12:26 am #81847Are the lower units the same on the P35 and P40?
I noticed they share the same prop. -
