Re: APPRAISAL: 1988 17 SS

This boat is sea trialed, runs great but may have a propeller defect and an altitude adjustment. The Evinrude engine is mint condition and runs like a champ. Maybe a reevaluation with better pictures and explanation. Your time is appreciated.

I have an original owners manual for a early 1990's Johnson 90 HP V4 outboard. Should be the same as your 1988. ( Maybe the OMC Jo...

Re: How to get manual for 1988 OMC engine

Thank you for your prompt response. There is a 6hp Evinrude next to it with the exact same device. Very interesting.

Do you have a recommendation how to get a manual for a 1988 Johnson 90-HP?
