I’ve got a 2005 Johnson 15 2 stroke that runs hot. Pulled the head, exhaust cover and powerhead to change tube grommets. New thermostat and pump. Still get over 230 f on the head. The block is corroded around the outside of the cylinders pretty bad , missing chunks.
thinking I’m just going to get a used freshwater powerhead.
although the models from the 90s through 2007 look about the same, the powerhead part numbers vary during later years. 438595 was used most of the time.
Starting in 2005 changed to 5005456. But looks the same?
Does anyone know if the powerheads are interchangeable even though part numbers vary
thnx
