Wrong model/serial #'s?

[Fishrman]

model# v4ml-106
serial# c419781

I cant find these numbers on any site that will tell me the year of the motor. Could it be a different mounting plate than the original?
I know it is a 80hp Evinrude.


Thanks in advance.

You were close. It's a 90 HP Johnson, according to the tag
V4M-10 90 1964

Look for a round metal plug on the powerhead. It may have the model number.

V4ML is a Johnson 100HP from 1966.

The Johnson 80s are as shown here: http://web.archive.org/web/20010709221738/www.evinrude.com/docktalk/modref/jomodyr/JHP80.html

The Evinrude 80s are as shown here: http://web.archive.org/web/20011024223448/www.evinrude.com/docktalk/modref/evmodyr/EHP80.html

Sounds like you might have a frankenmotor; what's on the welch plug?

NOt so fast, I came up with a 1964 90HP Canadian Johnson Meteor long shaft with model # V4ML-10S which is the closest to the numbers given. There are several references to similar 1964 model numbers here in the forum; search "V4ML-10*"

It is -106 not S. And the motor cover says Evinrude Starflite VIII, and it has a big 80 on the front.

Maybe it is outboardzilla, made from parts of different motors from the abyss....LOL.

And thank you all for quick replies.

"JohnnyRude". My 40 is like that. Even I can't remember where all of the parts came from.....
