This is my first post on here. looks like a great site. The only number that I can find is 0608089. If that is the serial number, does the 060 represent 1960? Thanks.

No, it does not. A picture might help. Or at least a description. Is it direct drive? Or have a neutral clutch? Or a full FNR gearshift? Tank on motor, or remote tank?

Thank you. I had to shop the pic because I dropped it off to have someone check it out. I need it in two weeks and don't have the time right now to work on it. It runs but I don't need a hassle when I'm camping. If its a 1956, its 2 years younger than me.

And 19 years younger than me. I actually was working in an outboard shop when that motor was built. We sold it's Gale cousin, the Buccaneer.
