Dealer Letter #103B

SUBJECT: Johnson 17-Foot Outboard Boat - Twin Motor Installations

Gentlemen:

We have received reports from certain dealers that the Johnson outboard boat is being modified to accommodate twin 60, 75 or 90 horsepower Johnson motors.

While the boat presently is rated for up to 200 horsepower, the transom width is insufficient to permit dual installation of any of the Johnson four cylinder motors.

We want to point out that any modifications made to the Johnson boat will void the warranty and we further wish to discourage any such modifications.

To assure your customer and yourself of satisfactory performance and to keep the warranty in force, do not attempt any changes in the structure of the hull or deck on the Johnson 17’ outboard boat.
