How about a 1956 Johnson 30hp? I have one I’m considering selling. I’ve done a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration, like new condition. Electric start, short shaft.

With no intention of hijacking this thread, is that a 12 volt starter on this beauty ’56?

Yes, it is 12 volt. Found a mount bracket off a ’57 35hp that had the dual mount holes for either a 6 or 12 volt starter.

I am in northeastern Indiana, just bought a 1954 Lyman with a 1957 Evinrude electric start short shaft… I am not a fan of the Evinrude, simply because I LOVE the 1956 Johnson 30 hp. I just bought one of those, so depending on whether you want to drive or not and wait or not…… My Evinrude WILL be for sale. It also has the correct controls and dash plate, but solenoid is under the shroud.
This motor has been mechanically gone thru, new ignition, new gear case seal, rebuilt carb. It is in need of a power head gasket…
And someone put the wrong decals… Ugh
It will not be available until Mid to late April of next year..
