Hi folks,

I've been offered an old Evinrude for cheap to use for backup parts for my Johnson 90. I was told via phone (the motor is 200 miles away and I haven't seen it yet) that the model & serial number are:

90483-S
E01797

Do these numbers indicate the year, model, HP etc?

Thanks in advance,

John

90483-S = First numbers are hp, 3rd number is year.

1964 90hp Evinrude.

Thanks Joe,

My Johnson 90 is a 1982....will there be much on the 1964 Evinrude 90 that is interchangeable?....starter, lower unit, carbs etc? The tip of the skeg on the Johnson is broken off about even with the outer edge of the prop and I was hoping to swap the LU with the good skeg.

Thanks,

John

No, sorry. Completely different animal. Nothing will interchange.
