🔍 Model Background

The Evinrude Johnson 140 HP Outboard (1977–1989) was a high-output inline 4-cylinder two-stroke engine, celebrated for its strong acceleration, lightweight design, and dependable performance across a wide variety of boating applications.

Equipped with a 1.8-liter (113 cubic inch) inline 4-cylinder powerhead, the 140 HP featured a loop-charged design that enhanced fuel efficiency, combustion, and throttle response. It was a favorite among anglers and recreational boaters looking for near-V6 performance in a lighter, more compact package.

This engine was available in both 20-inch and 25-inch shaft lengths, with features like power trim and tilt, remote steering compatibility, and OMC’s CD ignition system that offered reliable starts and consistent spark delivery. Its relatively low weight made it ideal for performance rigs, flats boats, and mid-sized runabouts.

The 140 HP stood out for its excellent power-to-weight ratio and agile handling characteristics. Though it lacked the displacement of the larger V6s, it compensated with rev-happy performance and quick planing abilities, earning a reputation as a "sleeper" motor among performance boaters.

With over a decade of continuous refinement, the Evinrude Johnson 140 HP became known as a workhorse engine with reliable engineering and widespread parts availability, making it a lasting favorite among classic outboard enthusiasts.
