Product Description

This Johnson 70 HP 3-cylinder two-stroke outboard is a proven, lightweight workhorse that has been fully boat tested and runs excellent. The motor delivered approximately 40 MPH on a 14-foot McKee Craft, demonstrating the strong performance and acceleration these classic Johnson 70 HP three-cylinder outboards are known for. Compression is even across all three cylinders at approximately 120 PSI, providing a strong indication of a healthy powerhead. At under 245 lbs, this 70 HP is also an excellent option for smaller boats where keeping transom weight under control is important. This is the popular 20-inch shaft configuration with electric start and remote controls. Johnson/Evinrude produced this three-cylinder 70 HP platform across numerous model years, and replacement parts and service components remain readily available. The motor has been tested, runs well, and is sold as a complete package ready to mount and run.
