Good morning!

I recently purchased a powerhead for what I'm told is an older model 25 hp evinrude. (My motor had over heated years ago and the head was warped in addtion to significant piston scoring so I'm keeping the lower end and putting this "new" powerhead on it instead until I can rebuilt the old one).

The "new" powerhead is with my Dad right now and he called to give me the serial and model #'s last night but I can' find them in any online reference.

The model # is 25DE20 V
The serial # is 21319

It's possible Dad misread or I misheard him on the phone and I don't have the right characters. We're just trying to find out the year so I can try and track down a shop manual and parts catologue.

Thanks!

Ryan

1969 through 1979 somewhere. Get the last two numbers correct and that's the year.

Well, I called my Dad and he doubled checked the #'s on the motor. He's insistent that the model # is as I've typed previous. I'm going to be home this weekend and triple check it to be sure but in the mean time is there any chance that model #25DE20 V is accurate and just rare?

Here's the list of 25s. It has to match something from '69 - '79.
edit: Oh, I see you're from Canada. This list may not be complete?

Post a pic of the powerhead and number plate/ID tag.

I will certainly do that. I'll get some pictures and I'll double check the number plate/ID tag as well.
