Johnson OB decals

Post by rcrudder »

I have an old 3hp Johnson motor. It has never been used, never. I inherited it. The decals have fallen off. I found a source on ebay that will copy a decal if I can send a picture.

The basic motor color is light green. The model # is JW-10. The S/N is 1047733. I think that it is probably a 1947 model. I have searched ebay for an identical motor, but found none. Does anybody have a pic of this old motor that the decal man could use to make a duplicate?

Thanks. Reproducing these old decals would make a very old man happy.

Have you contacted Johnson to see if they have the decal on file?

jsuber and just fish, thanks for the pics. The motor is green. The word Johnson is on the top half of the cowling and the word seahorse with a "3" is on the bottom half.

The Seahorse is in white and the 3 is red. The Johnson might have been an off color red, I just can't tell.

I have attempted to contact Johnson. I have failed miserably.

Thanks again for your efforts.

Are you contacting OMC? They even have books going back that far.
