Model # mystery

[anvil23lead]

Evinrude 40 horse model # 40773. I bought a manual from NAPA by Seloc publications titled Johnson/Evinrude outboard volume 2 1971-1989. From the book, it looks like the 40 would refer to the H.P., and the 7 to the year. However, the book doesn't show a 40 horse being made in '77. It skips from 35753 to 55773.<br />Thanks,<br />Danny

Re: Model # mystery

anvil23lead, your motor is a 1967 model.Book is correct. Evinrude did not make 40hp in 1977.<br />35753 is a 1977 35 hp<br />55773 is a 1977 55 hp
