Johnson Sea Horse Year Model

[kyfisher]

I have a 4.5 h.p. Johnson serial #E5576232 and have had it since the mid-80's to the best of my knowledge. I will venture to say it doesn't have 2 hrs. total on the engine and has been stored inside. Can anyone tell me what's the year model of this engine. I'm thinking about putting it on my bass boat for a kicker.

Thanks to everyone for the info.<br />The serial number is 5RHCNR and I think according to the info Bear gave me it is a 1982 model. If this is incorrect someone let me know. <br />Thanks

Re: Johnson Sea Horse Year Model

It sure is a 1982 model.<br />The info I gave you was a copy/paste operation from OMC's "Docktalk". <br />From this swedish web page (in english): <br /> http://www.marinshopen.se/guide/omc/omc8098.htm#4 <br />You'll find this:<br />5RHCNR<br />5 = 5 hp (actually 4.5 hp in this case)<br />R = Rope Start<br />H = Less Integral Tank <br />CN = 1982<br />R = Model Run or Suffix<br /><br />This web page will also confirm this:<br /> Parts and exploded views
