[Osprey Marine]

Hi everyone,
This is a great site! I searched the archives but could not find the answer about my head torque specs.
The motor is Evinrude 15hp short shaft electric start and pull start also.
Model # E15ELCSD
Serial #E0001237
Motor cover is white, engine is that older lighter factory blue color.
It also has a multi color stripe (dark blue,lighter blue,white, red) running horizontally just above the foot.
I don't know the year though.
I would appreciate it if any of you could point me in the right direction for the head torque sequence and specs.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone might provide.

Welcome to iboats. It is a 1980.

You will need to torque them to 18 to 20 ft/lbs in the following sequence I believe, someone correct me if it is off, as I am not 100 percent sure on the number of bolts for that model, but will be in the same type pattern none the less. Each number represents a bolt and is numbered in order of torque sequence, starting in the middle at number 1, in a sprialling clockwise pattern.

9....... 10
5....... 6
1....... 2
4 ...... 3
8....... 7

Thanks HighTrim,
The head only has six bolts.
So would the sequence be
5,6
1,2
4,3 ?

Thanks,

Correct Osprey, good luck.

Only 6 head bolts? That seems awfully low. My old 10's have 10 or so.
