Evinrude 40HP

[Boingo]

I'm sorry this is my first post, but looking at buy a 2nd hand motor and the model number is E40RCLY.

Can't find much info on them. Deciphering the numbers, E = Evinrude 40 = 40HP rope start, but the last three numbers do they mean C = 8 and L = long shaft, but what is the Y?

If someone is fluent in this feel free to correct all or part of my interpretation. I'm not precious.

Cheers,

Andy.

Re: Evinrude 40HP

Great thanks, one question though. The link you posted has a slightly different number referred to.

How do you work it out entirely. The one I am looking at is supposedly a commercial version.

BTW do they have a charging circuit?

TIA.

Re: Evinrude 40HP

Hi guys,

Found this webpage which lists it as an 88 model.

Not sure how that figues in the model code description at the begining of the document but there you go.

No charge circuit though :-( had a look at pictures of the one I'm looking at and also a 40HP with elect start and charge circuit and the commercial motor is simply lacking all that elec equipment.

Cheers, for any concern. I still would lile to know what the exact model code means E40RCLY.

Thanks,

Andrew.

E = Evinrude
40 = HP
RC = Rope start - commercial
Y = 1988.... commercial engines used a different suffix than general.
12 years too late but there you go. Now I can start rebuilding mine
