    Hi folks, I am trying to determine the year of my newly acquired 9.9 Johnson. I have found many sources for determining the year by serial number, but I can't seem to find a serial number on it? There is a plate on the side of the part that clamps the engine to the boat, but it is...

    I just bought an old aluminum 12 footer and dragged the 1956 Evinrude 7.5 out of the basement and using the 2 year old gas in the tank hitched it up and after a couple of tugs it started up. Ran ok, but it was very windy so I figured I'd get back to it on a better day.Next day, I filled up the...
