How to Identify Your 105 HP Model
- Locate the model/serial plate on the transom bracket or swivel bracket (often port side). A secondary decal may be under the engine cowl.
- Model codes and suffix letters indicate year features and shaft length (e.g., S ≈ 15 in, L ≈ 20 in, XL ≈ 25 in) as well as control/starting options.
- Johnson 105 HP 2‑Stroke models may be V4 crossflow (late 1970s–early 1990s) or 60° loop‑charged V4 (mid‑1990s). Knowing which platform you have improves parts matching.
- Commercial variants may list “Commercial/105” on the tag and can use heavy‑duty gearcase components. Verify prop shaft diameter and shaft length when ordering gearcase parts.

FAQs
Are parts interchangeable between crossflow and loop‑charged V4s?
Some service parts (spark plugs, many gaskets, anodes) may overlap, but cooling, induction, and gearcase items often differ. Always confirm model code, year, and platform (crossflow vs loop‑charged) before ordering.
When should I replace the impeller?
As a rule, every two seasons or sooner if you see a weak tell‑tale stream, overheating, or you operate in sandy or weedy water. Many owners replace it annually as inexpensive insurance.
How often should I change the lower unit gear oil?
Inspect at mid‑season and replace at least annually (or every 100 hours). If the unit was submerged or you find milky oil, change immediately and check seals.
What information helps confirm compatibility?
Provide model and serial numbers, shaft length (L/XL), platform (crossflow vs loop‑charged), prop shaft diameter if known, and any notable options (commercial gearcase, remote vs tiller). Photos of the nameplate and the parts needing replacement are helpful.
