Hi all, new to the forum so I'll do my best with respect to stick to the rules,
I have recently acquired a Johnson outboard but it is a very odd one to say the least, the previous owner thought it may of been ex military but the model number is very odd
J35XHLCR
I can see that it is a Johnson 35 HP and long shaft and the year is 1984 but what is the XH stand for? It is not showing up on any of the parts list,
The exhaust system is very odd, it has two large tubes welded to the sides of the outboard, I took a video of it running today so here is a quick video of it on YouTube.
It was only running for a very short period to see if it worked but water was not flowing I know, I have now fitted a new impeller to it but what is this beastly looking thing? Any ideas?
