Where is the water discharge on these motors?

On the port side near the transom clamps.

Glad I asked. I wouldn’t have looked there in a million years! Thanks Mumbles.

Good point. The 200 doesn’t have a water pump and uses the pressure-vacuum system found on other Johnsons of the era. The discharge outlet is under water, in front of the prop.

OOOOOOO, so the only way to tell if the water is in fact running through the system is to put your hand near the cylinder and see how hot it is? OUCH!

Or.. you could put your hand down by the prop and feel the discharge…. NOT!

Or carry an infrared thermometer with you. It’ll let you know if the motor is hot without burning your hide!
