Author	Topic:   Expected working life of Johnson 225 hp ocean runner
Lopaka	posted 03-29-2004 06:29 PM ET (US)         With proper maintenance and under average conditions in salt water and on a 22' Outrage how many hours could one expect before a major overhaul for a Johnson 225HP V-6 Ocean runner motor. What would be considered the working life between major work?
