Re: What year is my motor PLEASE!!!

Welcome to Iboats, EMOFisherman!<br />Evinrude model 18302:<br />Year: 1963<br />HP: 18<br />WOT RPMS: 4500<br />Displacement: 22.0 cu.in. = 360.5 ccm<br />Cylinders: 2<br />Weight: 79 lbs. = 35.8 Kg<br />Lower unit gear ratio: 12:21<br />Lower unit gear oil: OMC/Bombardier HiVis or equivalent 90W outboard gearcase oil. Do not use 'Type C' or HiPerf.<br />Oil Mix Ratio: 24:1 87 octane gas to TCW-3 rated outboard oil. See Oil Mix FAQ for details.<br />Spark plugs: Champion J4C gapped at .030"<br /> Picture <br />From the Old OMC Site<br /><br />The 22.0 CID engines were good and popular engines. If it runs well, then $250 sounds like a good deal. With outboards over 10-15 years old, it's all about condition, not age. Many parts for your engine are still made and are by outboard standards inexpensive.
