I have a 60’s Johnson 3 hp Model number JW-16 serial number 2012797. I’m filling out the paperwork to register the boat I just built and the paperwork asks for the year built of my motor. Can anyone give me the year based on the serial number?
Your motor is a 1960 model year motor.
JW 16 is a 1960 3hp.
Thank You
marine.com jumps the jw 16 for some reason … parts likely same/close to JW 15 or jw17 or they have a type error since JW 17 is liste twice ??
