please help date this sea-horse

Hi - I have an old beat up johnson sea-horse, but i dont want it to die so i thought i would try and fix it! Could someone point me in the direction to find out the year of this bad boy? the serial number is c8079282 (was on a silver nickel sized stamp on the engine top).

Thanks!

That's not old for a Johnson. I have serial number 5,924,582 which is a 1984, so yours is newer than that

thank you - it looks older than 1984 but what do i know? Do you know of a place anywhere that i could do a serial lookup to find out the exact year?

Probably a Johnson dealer. I have a list for old motors, but it only goes up to 1961. I think your motor was made in Canada if that matters (probably not).
