55hp Evinrude - What year?

[LocalHero]

New to boats here but I think I'm soon to own this one. Is it possible to get the year of this motor from these pics? I won't get back to the boat for better pics for a week or more. Sorry the pics aren't better. I wasn't thinking of dating the motor when I took them.

I think I may have found my answer via the world wide web...
The info on this page suggests it's an '86:

That's the year of the Mckee also, so it might be the original motor to the boat.

Look on the power head and see if you can find a silver core plug, about the size of a quarter, it should have some numbers on it. What are they?

I won't be able to get to the boat again for a week...

Mod number ends on CD = 86.

Yes, that's what I gleaned from that webpage. I found my answer and thought I'd post the link for anyone else doing such a search.

Thanks,
