Re: motor year
The freezeplug number is a 1960 Evinrude 40hp, but the serial is definitely Johnson, probably 1958 or 1959 (only 35hp years that will take a 40hp powerhead). Someone has done a little switching and swapping. The Johnson model number should be RD-something. Most carb kits, ignition parts and lower unit seal kits cover a number of models and years and will likely be the same whether you go for the 35 or 40hp part...<br />- Scott
