I was just given a 40hp Evinrude Norseman<br />Model # 40253E<br />Serial #J 02468<br />I am trying to figure out what year it is to get the right manual. <br />Thanks
Hope you found a 40253 = 1972 40HP Rude<br /><br />Just comfiming what you found..<br /><br />Got it from mitglied.lycos.de/old_omc<br /><br />Manuals can be found at the bottom of this page or if you want a Factory Manual, Owners Manual or Parts Number Book(Very Handy) go Here You can get them all for $80.00 or separatly.
<br /><br />An Evinrude outboard with that model number, would be a 1972.
