Purchased an Evinrude: 1996, 9.9HP with Model Number: E10REUS. This model number indicates being built in 1997, S Run. Why would a 1996 year motor have a 1997 model number?

Who said it was a 1996?<br /><br />The model number is "god".

Today you can walk into a car dealership and buy a 2004 car and it's only August 2003.

Clarification: Tag on motor bracket says besides Outboard Marine, Inc., Year as 1996, Model Number is the 1997 Model (E10REUS) then the Serial Number. So, the Evinrude engine identification tag lists both dates. If the Model is God, then this is actually a 1997 and OMC, Evinrude etched their Identification Plate incorrectly.

Could be a 1997 model, that was produced in late fall of 1996, for delivery in the spring.<br /><br />(god with a small "g", not god with a big "G") :)

When you buy parts or look at a service manual, use the model number, small mistake compared to the big one they made.

andrew surmacewicz, please start you own thread, rather than bring up a 5 year old post.

If you have a question and you tag it into a thread started by someone else it is like interrupting a conversation to turn it to your topic. That is very rude and we call it hijacking. Hijacking is not welcome on iboats, even if the thread hijacked is many years old.
