Johnson Outboards
Encyclopedia : J : JO : JOH : Johnson Outboards
Johnson Outboards is a maker of outboard motors. The original company to make Johnson inboard motors and outboard motors was the Johnson Bros. Motor Company of Terre Haute, Indiana. 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. Later the company was acquired by the Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC), but it is now owned by Bombardier Recreational Products. Their outboards include 1 thru 8 cylinders and have a maximum of 300 horsepower, for stock engines. They differ in one large way from Mercury Marine outboards, because they employed the V4 engine, whereas mercury used a straight engine.
