Re: fastwin hp

No, they were 14, 15, 18, 20, and 25hp over the years. Yours though is the very first, the 1950 14hp:

The '57 and up 18hp powerheads were very different.

Re: fastwin hp

The OMC archive source lists 4438 as the model number for a 1950 14 HP Evinrude.

Re: fastwin hp

Re: fastwin hp

My list was wrong on the archive. It also has 1950 14HP on the number 4438. I will edit the above, sorry for the confusion.

Lol! I think ezeke looked in the wrong column.

Here are a few sources:

The 4438 is your model number, and the 06875 is the serial number. There were S/N up to 09350 that year...

Ah, I only looked back to the 40s.

That site is a great resource. Here's the early Johnson S/N section:

Evinrude, etc

Re: fastwin hp

im putting this motor on a Seaking 13' flat bottom boat to get around with and have a 3.5hp clinton to do the trolling with..

Re: fastwin hp

Should go like stink if you can get the weight distributed right. Short boats can be tricky sometimes. 24:1 87 octane gas and TC-W3 outboard oil in that sucker. Don't mess around with SAE 30 weight and no need for 16:1.
What does the clinton take?

I was refering to the Merc post 175 overheats.

Must have some tripped over the net.
