Anybody out there know much about old evinrude boat motors? I need help Identifying(Year,HP) one me and my friend pulled out of the bottem of the local river(took both of us! He weighs about 285 or so and I'm about 210 or so). I reckon by the looks of things It was down there for the better part of 40 or fifty years. It is a Evinrude two cylinder motor. Air cooled I assume due to the small fins on the sides of the cylinders. Has hook ups for A tank and hose. It has a glass sediment bowl under the carb, The pull cord is on top and off set to the right side. Has a Big black knob in the center of the back side for adjusting the fuel mix? Two more small knobs for ? Lever that goes side to side for the throttle. Forward and reverse lever on the side. Thats all I know to tell you other than that It is blue. Maybe a Hammered finish? Not sure due to all the crud on it. It's not very often you catch a boat motor when your out fishing! LOL! Thanks for any help. Mike.

Evinrude built blue motors like you describe in the 50's or early 60's. johnsons were green. Both were divisions of OMC. Think the Bombardier Co. out of Canada bought them when OMC went belly up a few years ago. They used a dual line to pressurize the remote fuel tank and send fuel to the carb instead of a fuel pump. The things that look like cooling fins are probably casting ribs on the cylinders and the intake tunnel port covers fron the crankcase to the cylinders. Most likely water cooled with a pump impeller just above the lower unit gears. Think the big knob is a high speed fuel mixture adjustment and one of the others is a low speed mixture and other is possibly the idle speed seting.The throttle clever that goes from side to side also controls the spark advance on the magneto. With the cover off you may see a cylindrical object in front of the carburetor that will be a silencer for the intake air folks often confused it for an air filter. This motors will probably use a 16-1 oil mix and it sounds like it is about 5-10 hp. It has been a number of years since I worked on them. Johnson usually had one that was about the same h.p. in their line, but Evinrude was usually a little more upscale.

There should be a builders plate just above the mounting clamps. Have worked on several antique Envinrudes, not aware of any aircooled, especially that big. Pressure wash it down,must ba a name somewhere.

Yes we found that in the initial cleaning, but it appears that the numbers weren't stamped on and got rubbed off, I can't make out any numbers. The rest of the tag is in great shape considering how long it was down there. All it says is where it was made and lists a few patent numbers. I wish I had a picture of it. I didn't think that many boat motors back then had forward and reverse like this one does. I thought that might set it apart from other models. Mike

Early 1900's had Evinrude engines that were air cooled, two cycle with battery ignition.
