Weight of Older Outboard Engines
What is the weight of a 1976 Johson 85-HP engine? I am thinking of re-powering with a Yahama 90-HP four-stroke and I was told the weight of the Yamaha and the wieght of a 1976 Johnson 85-P are close. Thanks. shipwreck8

A 20-inch shaft 1976 Johnson 85 weighs about 300 pounds, maybe a bit less if it does not have power tilt and trim.

Tom,
Thanks, what do you estimate the weight to be if it has a 25-inch shaft?
Thanks shipwreck

The 25-inch shaft length adds about five pounds or so.

I would be glad to collect, organize, and publish the weights of some older classic two-stroke engines. If you have data on various engines, feel free to append it to this discussion.

The weight of the 25" Yamaha 90 four stroke is about 375 pounds, a LOT more than the old Johnson 85. Somebody is feeding you a line.

1956 30 hp. Johnson or Evinrude according to my memory weighs 97lbs. When the 13 foot Whaler was designed, this was the most common motor that was used on that boat. A lot lighter than the motors used nowadays.

I usually go to NADA online guides - They list boat and motor weights when you look up values. I am not sure how accurate it is but I would think it is close. I got the weights for the following 1987 models assuming power tilt and trim.
Mercury 70ELPTO - 265 Pounds
Evinrude E70TLCU - 257 Pounds
Hope this helps out.

288 for the merc with PTnT. I show 250 even for the OMC.
To answer the question asking if NADA weights are incorrect:
No the 265-lbs is correct for the 70 merc in NADA but that is w/o PTnT. With PTnT it is 288. All of my brochures claim the 70 OMC at 250 with PTnT and I think 237 w/o.

I have searched high and low but can't find any specs on the weight of the 1986 Evinrude 150 HP V6 outboard.
I want to compare that to the weight of the various modern alternatives for repowering...

100, 125, 135, 140 (1970's) The pre-1972 models were electric shift. 1973 and later were two cable hydraulic assist-"Power Shift II".
All the V-4's (crossflow-1969 and later) were right about 300-310 pounds.

I pulled this info on my 1993 90hp SUZUKI from NADA. I believe it is correct.
DT90TCLP 2 stroke
337 lbs.
The Suzuki is a narrow V-4 with oil injection under the cowling (you always have gravity flow) and power tilt and trim.
This is quite a bit heavier than the other popular 90hp's of that year, such as the YAMAHA which was a 3 cylinder engine, with tilt and trim, and weighted in at 260 lbs.
The MERCURY was also a 3 cylinder but weighed in at a hefty 288 lbs.

The EVINRUDE/JOHNSON's of that year were 60° V-4's They had remote oil injection, which was prone to failure, but it did give the motor a slightly lighter initial weight, 311#.
The Whaler dealer at the time warned me away from the Yamaha's saying that they ran hot after a few years of service because of their lack of weight (volume of metal).
All I know is my Suzuki is still running strong.

Hi Peter, yes, you are correct, if is a 25" lower unit. Hard to believe a motor can weigh some 500+ pounds!

Author	Topic: Weight of Older Outboard Engines
shipwreck8	posted 05-26-2006 10:22 PM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines What is the weight of a 1976 Johson 85-HP engine? I am thinking of re-powering with a Yahama 90-HP four-stroke and I was told the weight of the Yamaha and the wieght of a 1976 Johnson 85-P are close. Thanks. shipwreck8
Tom W Clark	posted 05-26-2006 10:27 PM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines A 20-inch shaft 1976 Johnson 85 weighs about 300 pounds, maybe a bit less if it does not have power tilt and trim.
shipwreck8	posted 05-26-2006 10:33 PM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines Tom, Thanks, what do you estimate the weight to be if it has a 25-inch shaft? Thanks shipwreck
Tom W Clark	posted 05-26-2006 10:38 PM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines The 25-inch shaft length adds about five pounds or so.
jimh	posted 05-26-2006 10:47 PM ET (US) I would be glad to collect, organize, and publish the weights of some older classic two-stroke engines. If you have data on various engines, feel free to append it to this discussion.
Tom W Clark	posted 05-26-2006 11:06 PM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines The weight of the 25" Yamaha 90 four stroke is about 375 pounds, a LOT more than the old Johnson 85. Somebody is feeding you a line.

Binkie	posted 05-27-2006 09:57 AM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines According to the manual, 1987 Suzuki DT150, and DT200,both V-6, 20 in shaft 2 stroke weigh in at a heavy 456 lb. A 25" shaft motor is 465lbs.
Binkie	posted 05-27-2006 10:04 AM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines 1956 30 hp. Johnson or Evinrude according to my memory weighs 97lbs. When the 13 foot Whaler was designed, this was the most common motor that was used on that boat. A lot lighter than the motors used nowadays.

sraab928	posted 08-14-2006 10:34 AM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines I usually go to NADA online guides - They list boat and motor weights when you look up values. I am not sure how accurate it is but I would think it is close. I got the weights for the following 1987 models assuming power tilt and trim. Mercury 70ELPTO - 265 Pounds Evinrude E70TLCU - 257 Pounds Hope this helps out. Scott
The Judge	posted 08-14-2006 01:01 PM ET (US) Weight of Older Outboard Engines 288 for the merc with PTnT. I show 250 even for the OMC. To answer the question asking if NADA weights are incorrect: No the 265-lbs is correct for the 70 merc in NADA but that is w/o PTnT. With PTnT it is 288. All of my brochures claim the 70 OMC at 250 with PTnT and I think 237 w/o.

Spuds	posted 01-28-2014 12:30 PM ET (US) I pulled this info on my 1993 90hp SUZUKI from NADA. I believe it is correct. DT90TCLP 2 stroke 337 lbs. The Suzuki is a narrow V-4 with oil injection under the cowling (you always have gravity flow) and power tilt and trim. This is quite a bit heavier than the other popular 90hp's of that year, such as the YAMAHA which was a 3 cylinder engine, with tilt and trim, and weighted in at 260 lbs. The MERCURY was also a 3 cylinder but weighed in at a hefty 288 lbs. The EVINRUDE/JOHNSON's of that year were 60° V-4's They had remote oil injection, which was prone to failure, but it did give the motor a slightly lighter initial weight, 311#. The Whaler dealer at the time warned me away from the Yamaha's saying that they ran hot after a few years of service because of their lack of weight (volume of metal). All I know is my Suzuki is still running strong.
