I'm thinking of selling my outboard motor, and was wondering what the approximate value be. It's a 1990 Johnson 25 HP, manual start, short shaft, good condition. What would a fair asking price be? Thanks.

I had a long edit typed out that disappeared into cyber-space. I would guess 500-700 bucks from what I've seen but check nada. Don't worry about getting the exact model number as most prices will be similar for the same year and horsepower. If you take the time to clean every surface inside and out you could get another $100. Looks go a LONG way in selling a boat, motor or even a car.

I see them for $400 to $800.

Thanks. What's the best way to clean motor? What type of cleaner?

It really depends on what you're trying to clean and how severely dirty it may be. Just make sure it looks as good as it can without dirt and grease all over it.

a good degreaser is Purple Power keeps my motor clean just cover up your intake when your doing it to be safe
