I just completed my 5th season on this motor (Left over 04' Johnson 50 H.P. bought in '05) Is there "ANY" maint. that's need's to be done on the "P/T" motor, as I have never had one before.
Hi, other than flushing very well with soap and water after every trip out is about all. Of coarse when it needs paint touch-up do so. I spray on occasion a silicone spray,or wd-40.
Thank's, she get's rinsed after every time out, and touch up painted seasonally, last year I coated her with "Interlux" (clear) anti-fouling paint, It's $30 a can but, well worth it.
Factory Zinc Primer, and Factory paint (Dealer), then coat (lower unit & motor bracket) with Interlux Trilux "anti-fouling" Prop & Drive paint (5499A) "Clear". Result's were Great, No Barnicle's, no Algea, no slime, just a clean engine after the Fall Haul. I had heard about this product a few years ago, I always wanted to try it but, I'm usually running late to splash her for the season and never get to it. Last year somebody asked for it at the boat store (reminded me), and the salesman said "Yes, and we have clear too", there was a stampede to get to the case by everyone on line, so I figured I better grab a can. I thought it was well worth it for $30, I still have more than 1/2 a can left.
