Evinrude Identification

[silverram04]

Hi. I am a new member and have been searching the net for info on a motor I bought recently. It is an Evinrude 20hp and on the motor has a sticker that says 1979 model, but according to everything I've found, there was no 20 hp available in 1979. The model number is also a mystery. I have been trying to search through many of the available tools with no luck so far. The model # is 209CR02R and the Serial # is C7051784. I have found that CR represents 1984 models but the engine cover has 1979 style decals and the sticker inside says 1979.
I am from Canada. Could this be a model that was only available in the Canadian market? This might explain why I can't find any info on it.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Evinrude Identification

Thats what I thought, but there is still the 1979 sticker inside. Do you think it could be an 84?

Re: Evinrude Identification

It is a 1979 20HP

You will find it on this site http://www.storesonline.com/site/573683/page/599222

and in this list http://www.skoterskroten.com/img/arsmodellstabell.pdf

The CR equating to 1984 is part of a later numbering system that you will also find explained on that second link.

I cant find it listed on the parts diagrams at http://shop2.evinrude.com/ext/index.aspx?s1=bf6ad09c53cead335fcfd8a6471c0f7f though

It may as suggested be a derated Canadian model
