Calling the experts: 50hp model Question

[will941s]

Did Evinrude/Johnson make a 3 cylinder 50hp? If so what years were they produced?

I can confidently say no 3 cylinder 50s. only 55,60,65,70.75.
They briefly made a 4 cylinder 50 in 58,59,60. also made a 4 cylinder 50 in 43,46 and 49.

Thanks for response. So the 48spl is the 50?

I wonder perhaps if that 3 cylinder isn't something supplied by Suzuki.
As I understand it the 48spl was a bargin basement model based on the 2 cylinder 50.

The Johnzuki was a four stroke... the 50 is really a 3 cylinder 60 with with small venturi carbs.

A JohnyRude 48 SPL is a two cylinder two-stroke. Same as the 50 HP two cylinder two-stroke. Four stroke 40 and 50s were Suzy three bangers.
