55hp Johnson after 38yrs of service
My later father used to have johnson 55HP. The sound brings back my good memories...
Still going hard
What is the dry weight ? Does the 6o at the crank have more power than the 50 at the prop?
They say you lose about 10% power from the flywheel to the prop so that would be 54hp at the prop
Speed = 5800 ÷2.42× 15 ÷ 1056 = 34.8 mph. Nice speeds! @ 5800 rpm
First comment
How much water comes out of this motors water pump when you are on board. I have the same motor, have checked the impeller, but if feels like relatively little water that comes out.
Hi Oliver, this motor( I no longer own the boat ) had plenty of water pumping out of the tell tale and the exhaust but it did not have a thermostat in it which is a bad idea. If you are concerned take your leg off thermostat out chuck the hose up the water intake and see how muck flow you have, might be internal corrosion causing flow restriction
Don’t leave that rope hanging over the stern , could get tangled up in the prop !
That’s exactly what my 50hp johnson does on a 16ft Starcraft Super Sport.
Cool!
Just depends on the boat. Need the right one for sure
What is max rpm at full throttle?
5200rpm at full throttle,
The old prop was the same 12 1/4 X 15 but had been reshaped and max rpm was 5800rpm
@@benjanson7484 your engine isn't 5200 rpm. your tach fault. your rpm sound to me minimum 5500
@@benjanson7484 for evinrude johnson much rpm>5600. if your engine more than 5600 rpm, you should enlarge propeller. ex.-15 pitch-> 17 pitch. trim down optimal rpm 5300. trim up optimal rpm 5600.
Enes Hüseyin BERKER yeah my tacho probably is faulty as it doesn’t read as high as it used to and it’s a 1978 model tacho
What size propeller you have on this motor?
12 1/4 X 15 aluminium prop that the biggest prop I can put on it
Go go Zoe
Hey Ben a little fast between the boats. Looks like the M1 on a Monday morning
No sorry mate
Do you have anything for sale
Is this engine standard?
skylinegtsrock yeah all standard mate
Ben Janson cool it seems fast. I'm knew to boats and I've just bought the same engine for my 15ft speed boat. I hope it's as quick as this. Any idea what speed it should Go?
skylinegtsrock not sure about what speed it should do as there are a few determining factors like engine health weight hull design and propeller choice but to give you an idea my boat is 4.2m runabout and in this video she's doing 50km/hr almost flat stick ( never rev out a 2 stroke outboard). Probably worth mentioning that it used to max out at 39km/hr with a 13 pitch prop then when I changed to a 15 pitch prop gained 11km/hr top speed but now takes a bit longer to get on the plane
Ben Janson excellent thank you kindly 👍
