Does anyone know how to interpret 1969 Johnson model numbers ???? I'm trying to find out what the differences are in the 40hp class.....

No secrets there.
E stands for electric start.
S stands for electric shift.
L stands for long shaft.
R (in middle of model #) stands for rope start.
Suffix R is an in-house code, generally denoting a model run or mid year change.
