looking for age of my evinrude

[bridgecottage]

Hi all

I have an evinrude 20hp with serial no
804ac95578
there may be a number before the first 8 but it has been obliterated by a punch in fact it is possible the first 8 is a 3.

any body any idea of age so I can get a manual.

Thanks in advance
John

http://www.kencook.com/evinrudejohnsonmanuals/index.cfm?fuseaction=search.main has OMC manuals and you can search by model #, HP, or year. If you have model #, that id's the year. You can also scan the list if you search by 20 HP. Looks like it returned all Evinrude/Johnson 20 HP models from 1929 and up to 1987. Looks like 20 HP wasn't made after 1987? --Steve

Hi John,

Most models have the model number on the 1" X 3" plate on the transom bracket. A lot of models have the model number on a quarter-sized welch plug on the engine block as well.

BTW, There are some 18HP motors with similar numbers.​

Thanks guys

Had another look, the transom bracket plate only holds the serial number. I found the welch plug this has C0095578 stamped on it. I will try searching with this number but if anybody else finds it please let me know and you wil have my eternal thanks.

C0095578 is the serial number, A dealer can track that through BRP for you and tell you what you have.​
