Determining year and model number?

[alexsails]

Hi, I have decided to service my Evinrude outboard and get some parts that I need to get it running again...after two years.

Its a 200hp 1985-1987 but I am unable to tell what model number is it exactly (E200.....) as I see no labels etc and don't have the owners manual.

Is there a way that I can determine this by number stampings on parts or the power head?

Where do I look?

Thanks!
Alex

I found a number that may help but cant match it to any of the model numbers on the Shop.evinrude.com database for any 200hp years 1986 to 1989.

This is stamped on a aluminum plug on the rear of the block/powerhead in between the two top cylinders:

M
E200TXCDR
G1144818

Re: Determining year and model number?

200TXCD is the relevant part of the model number

T indicates Tilt & trim-electric start model
X indicates extra long shaft (25")

CD are the date letters for 1986

The final letter is a suffix or production run code that you can ignore
