johnson 175 hp - how do i find model info

[pbguy420]

my 01 sv2100cc came with a 175 johnson on it that was supposed to be the same year, so i bought the seloc manual for that year and hp range. problem is, i thought the manual would be a bit less generic than it is, and operates under the assumption you know exactly what year model your motor is.

i need to simply know what model year i have.... its a 175 hp supposedly 01.... i was hoping i could find a serial number or something and a website to look it up but the johnson website sucks

Here's 3 source of info:

Your MODEL # has digits, separated by spaces, which translate to:

1st letter is Model (J=Johnson, E=Evinrude)

The numeric horsepower is after that (150 in our case)

Next digit(s) are Design (2-stroke, Ficht, 4-stroke, etc).

The next digit is Shaft Length, blank=15, "L"=20, Y=22.5, X=25 & Z=30

The next 2 digits (2nd and 3rd digits from the right) translate to the year:
I = 1
N = 2
T = 3
R = 4
O = 5
D = 6
U = 7
C = 8
E = 9
S = 0

The last digii is not specified.

Your 2001 ("01") should be "xxxxxxxSIx". Who knows why they didn't just use the year on those 2 digits,?

So, I'm guessing your model # is J 150 FS X SI x?
