What year model is it and does it seem to have been looked after in terms of flushing? not sure about the year the model no is 4BRS79D and the guy I bought it off says it was his fathers and doesn't know much about it. I changed the gear box oil, spark plugs and cleaned it up. Will post a pic.

Hi raiders bought a little 4 hp johnson seahorse for 50 bucks on the weekend. I brought it home and started it in a bucket, Went first pull but didn't seem to have any cooling water running through it and the only way to get water to flow through it was to force the hose into the water intake(while the motor was stopped), is the impeller shot? or is there any other possibility?

One a recent fishing trip my dad and I caught some unual reef fish which was later identified as a Maori Wrasse. The wrasse(about 30cm long) was thrown back because we didnt know the legal length. does any one know the legal length for Maori Wrasse in NSW?

We bought a boat over Christmas with a 1986 model 70hp vro Johnson motor, but the stickers on it are faded and peeling. A friend told us that new stickers were pretty expensive and that we were better off getting them made up at a sticker place. good idea but we dont know the colours of the orginal stickers. can anyone me and maybe post a pic of a motor made that year? Cheers Lachlan

Should we downsize to about a 40 and would that still be suitable to go out to sea?? PS thought it was a bit of overkill!!

Thought i'd add some pics of the boat. (sorry edited photos into original post so these are just wasted space)

Hi mate, there should be a manufactuers plate somewhere at the back of your boat. it should tell you but if not then you could ring the boat dealership nearest to you

Thanks for the info, got all safety gear bar the radio but will get on soon. Motor has been in fresh water all its life and has been serviced since we bought the boat. will remember to log in and out. does anyone know what VRO stands for? thanks for the advice Lachlan

My Dad just bought an old Quintrex Fishrunner, its 4.3 m long and has an 80's model VRO Johnson 70hp on the back. Does anyone reckon we could take it out off Coffs Harbour on calm day or should we stick to the rivers? Waiting on any advice Lachlan
