Year of my 20 hp Evinrude

[retlaw]

I have a 20 hp Evinrude that I just purchased used. I am ?? about the year. The model # is E20CRERC. Could anyone help? Also Does running a motor that needs a bottom end prop seal do any major damage?

I tried looking it up for you. Are you sure you have the correct number? The website below may help you with your search.

I have found a another site you should try out. Maybe your looking at the wrong model number. is there a serial number on the same plate?

To narrow down the year, try typing part numbers into google. Some parts were manufactured only for certain years.

example of google seach for a pulse pack on my 1970 evinrude 115 hp engine:

Evinrude 398362

Maybe I'm missing something, but that model number would suggest to me that the motor is a 1994 Evinrude, counter rotation, rope start. If it was Canadian it would start with a "C".

Thanks to all for the great info. It appears that the motor is a 1994. It is a canadian model.

This was my first question and I am convinced that this is a very helpful site.

Cheers

To wbeaton: further down the design feature chart on the Marine Engine site you find the letters 'CR' for "Canada Deregulated - Rope Start". That is followed by the model year ER or 1994.
