Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what year my motor is. I just bought an older 14' aluminum which has a Johnson Seahorse 10 on it and the model is QD 20 and the serial is 1976030. This is my first boat/motor and would like to know what to look for and what to tell the guys at the shop when I take it in to get its new buyer tune up. Thanks for all the help! Also was wondering what kind of prop I need for it. Like I said, first timer, so use small words and talk slowly :)

Howdy, Luke.

Welcome to iboats. :)

Model QD-20 is a 1959 10HP.
Fuel mix is 24:1, 1 qt. TC-W3 oil per 6 gallons of 87 octane gas.
Spark plugs are Champion J4C gapped at .030"
Points set at .020"

Ask about a prop on the Prop Forum. Fine engine. Good luck. :)
