Help on Johnson 115 outboards

[stevej]

i had a 2004 90 v4 same engine as the 115 on a cruise craft explorer 500

in regards to fuel economy under 3500 reasonable above this it chews a bit and above that it uses all of it lol
grunty motor

I have got a 96 115 ocean runner on a 5.8 plate boat and at 4000 rpm find it quite economical depending on weather conditions on a flat day can run up to 4600 for the same sort of fuel consumption.
To do a run around the bay for the day(deepwater bend,mud island,cape moreton and back) is about 40/50 ltrs which is about a 1/4 of my tank. Good solid engine without issues.
Cheers

Mine was over propped and on a 550 outsider. It was 40 odd litres per hour at 25 odd mph. They will burn 65 an hour when you open them up a bit.

I see a couple of question asked that I have not answered

Hainsofast - I talked the owner down from $20000 to $18000

Chimo - I'm not a fast driver on the water, drive at what is required. The boat is a 2000 model Seafare V-Sea

Thats not a ficht engine, i would'nt touch the ficht engine if my life depended on it if the computers go your screwed only one company in the USA repairs the computers and they dont do international orders well they didnt when i had a E-Tec thats why i'll never touch one of those either evinrude rapes u on price look up on hunts marine what evinrude what for a EMM in Oz and u cant order one from america at 1/3rd the price because who ever does your EMM in OZ has to call evinrude and they wont allow the installation on a internationally ordered part they pretty much string u up

pretty sure evinrude needs to allocate out numbers or something for the process of swapping EMM's from my understanding so your mechanic needs approval u cant just simply change one in your back yard

I repeat, no Johnson FICHT engines were made, pretty simple really, Gazza, some of what you say is partially correct, but does not apply to this engine.
