Johnson 5hp outboard

[Dave Coles]

I have acquired a Johnson 5hp 2T twin, model number BJ5DREDD. It started second pull after standing for at least 10 years, but pumps no water. Can anyone tell me which impeller will suit it and where I might buy one ? And can I obtain parts lists for this motor ? Thank you

Oh dear .....

I had exact same model Johnson years ago ... had it for about 1 week ...... the water channels in the leg had fallen apart into powder and only the pipes were left not connected to anything. Bought it without water testing ...
Sold it to a guy who wanted the powerhead - which was like yours - excellent runner.

The Johnson 4.5 twin I have now is old but an absolute peach ...

Welcome to the forum

Are you sure about the model number? I think the last letter should be an S.
( BTW it is a 1996 model and almost identical to my slightly older 6hp Evinrude. They are well built engines.)

If so then the part number is 0436137
The Sierra part number is 18-8906


My favourite supplier is no more but in the past forum members have had good service for Johnson/ Evinrude parts from Wills Marine in Kingsbridge Devon:
Wills Marine Online Shop - Chandlery and Boat Outboard Parts & Spares
(When ordering parts always quote the full model number)

Copies of original manuals can be bought from Outboard books Marine Literature


After thought
After 10years change the impeller, without doubt, but check that the telltale is not blocked
