All, I just acquired an Evinrude 35HP and I'm a bit confused on the model year.
The model on the tag reads E35RLCTS. The reference guides I've found don't show this exact model. I assume the L designates a long shaft, which this motor is. Here's what I've found:

35RLCS = 1980
35RLCT = 1983

Can those of you who are more knowledgeable offer any assistance on this? Thanks in advance!
