Johnson Outboards is a maker of outboard boat motors. They were formerly owned by the Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC), but are now owned by Bombardier Recreational Products. An outboard motor is a propulsion system for vehicles designed to float on and move across (or through) water. ... Bombardier Recreational Products or BRP is a Canadian company, which was founded by Joseph-Armand Bombardier as LAuto-Neige Bombardier Limitée in 1942 at Valcourt in the Eastern Townships, Quebec. ...
A few years after the Johnson brothers' factory in Terre Haute was destroyed by a tornado in March 1913, the brothers relocated to South Bend, Indiana and, later, Waukegan, Illinois.
Their outboards include 1 through 8 cylinders and have a maximum of 300 horsepower, for stock engines.
The big news is the expanded line of Johnson four-strokes, with five new horsepowers and 11 new models in all, including the big 200 and 225 V6s with digital sequential electronic fuel injection and multi-stage induction for added low-end torque.
These Johnson four-strokes are as strong as they are smooth, with dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder for impressive power and top-end speed, and a 54-amp alternator to power all your electronics, even at trolling speeds.
These outboards are rich with top-end features, like FasTrak power trim and tilt, Johnson's automatic pressure/temperature regulated cooling system, and a two-year non-declining limited warranty, the best in the industry on two-stroke carbureted engines.
